iCBT for Cardiac Anxiety in Patients With NCCP — IKSIT2  

Non-cardiac Chest Pain Clinical Trial

Official title:
Patient and Societal Benefits of Guided Internet-delivered Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Cardiac Anxiety in Patients With Non-cardiac Chest Pain

Clinical Trial Summary

Non-cardiac chest pain (NCCP) is a common condition that significantly affects patients' mental well-being, overall quality of life, and healthcare use. Even after ruling out cardiac issues, many patients still worry about having an undiagnosed cardiac illness, leading to cardiac anxiety since no other explanation is provided. Consequently, they avoid activities they believe might harm their heart, worsening their overall health and resulting in increased healthcare visits and societal costs. Addressing cardiac anxiety through psychological interventions could help break this viscious cycle and enhance patient outcomes. Internet-delivered cognitive behavioural therapy (iCBT) can assist patients in reassessing their perceptions, emotions and behaviours in order to handle their chest pain and therby reduce their cardiac anxiety. The aim of this study is to evaluate the short- and long-term effects of a guided 8-week iCBT program on cardiac anxiety, generalized anxiety, kinesiophobia, fear of body sensations, depressive symptoms, health-related quality of life, chest pain frequency and illness perception. Also to examine how participants' personality traits influence the effectiveness of the iCBT program. Furthermore, to assess the cost-effectiveness of the iCBT program compared to attention control. In addition, we will explore the perceptions of participants regarding the therapeutic alliance during the treatment.
