Acupuncture for Individuals With Stable Angina

Status Terminated

Clinical Trial Summary

This RCT aims to determine if it is possible to perform acupuncture on men and women diagnosed with stable angina who have symptoms, chest pain, and/or chest discomfort. The investigators want to determine if acupuncture reduces the pain and other symptoms of angina, chest pain, and chest discomfort. The investigators also want to examine whether this study is acceptable to the participants, and by carrying out this study the investigators will be able to tell how many participants they will need in a future larger study to further test acupuncture to reduce the symptoms of angina in women.

Clinical Trial Description

The investigators are conducting a RCT aimed at gathering feasibility, and initial efficacy for a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to test the effect of acupuncture on anginal symptoms, chest pain, and chest discomfort in men and women. The investigators long term goal is pain and symptom management resulting in improved functional status and quality of life for men and women with stable angina, chest pain, and chest discomfort. This study will include 69 community dwelling men and women with a medically confirmed diagnosis of stable angina, chest pain which includes non-ischemic or ischemic cardiomyopathy, microvascular coronary dysfunction (MCD), heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), or chest discomfort whose pain and associated symptoms have not been completely controlled with guideline-directed medical management. The investigators will use a randomized attention control design with 13 men and women assigned to initial acupuncture and 13 to control. Participants in the experimental group will receive a standardized acupuncture point prescription two treatments per week, for 5 weeks. The attention control group will receive non-pain related video health education over 5 weeks equal to the approximate 10 hours of treatment for the acupuncture group. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
