Who may be able to join

  • All patients undergoing coronary artery catheterization who are found to have at least single vessel stenosis and who have had revascularization with angioplasty or coronary artery stenting will be eligible for enrollment.
  • Patients must be able to provide informed consent within the one week after the procedure.

Who cannot join

About this study

The long-term objective of this study is to determine whether a positive affect and self-affirmation condition added to an empirically demonstrated approach for motivating behavior change is more effective than a standard approach in reducing risk factor behavior among a high-risk group of patients with coronary artery disease. Thus, the goal of the project is to refine and improve strategies for long-term maintenance of physical activity among patients post-angioplasty or stent.

Read the detailed description

Among coronary artery disease patients who have just had either angioplasty or stents, the objective of this randomized trial is to evaluate whether a novel behavioral intervention that employs induced positive affect and self-affirmation is more effective than an intervention without positive affect in increasing the maintenance of newly initiated physical activity post-procedure.

Secondary objectives:

  • To determine whether more patients who receive the positive affect and self-affirmation intervention initiate more multiple behavior changes (e.g., changes in more health behaviors directed to their risk-factor profile) than those in the control group at one year.
  • To determine whether the positive affect and self-affirmation intervention increases physical activity among patients who have depressive symptoms.
  • To determine whether patients who are successful in increasing physical activity are more successful at changing other health behaviors.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Intervention GroupBehavioural

    Also called Postivie affect and self-affirmation induction vs. control

    During the physical activity goal setting process, subjects were randomly assigned to either the control or the intervention group. The intervention included receiving an additional educational workbook about using positive affect and self affirmation, as well as participating in using positive affect and self-affirmation to motivate behavior change, which in this case was to increase their physical activity level. Patient also received small token gifts to remind them of their participation in the study and to induce positive affect. The control group also set a physical activity goal and received the same follow-up, but did not participate in the positive affect and self-affirmation portion.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Control GroupNo interventionThis group received follow-up every 2-months for one year. Follow-up included questions about their heart disease progression and how well they had been able to engage in their doctor approved physical activity goal.
Intervention GroupExperimentalThis group received follow-up every 2-months for one year. Follow-up included questions about their heart disease progression and how well they had been able to engage in their doctor approved physical activity goal, which was the same as the control arm. Additionally, subjects in this arm were encouraged to use positive affect and self-affirmation techniques to motivate an increased level of participation in their physical activity goal. These subjects also received small token gifts to remind them of their study participation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Intervention Group in people with Angioplasty Patients, run by Weill Medical College of Cornell University at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Feb 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Within patient change in the Paffenbarger Exercise and Physical Activity Index (time frame: basline, at 2-month intervals(2, 4, 6, 8, 10-months) and closeout). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00248846, which also lists 4 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Feb 2017.
