Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: The is a database study of a cohort of 660 patients with cardiovascular disease who had recently undergone coronary angioplasty.

Who may be able to join

  • all patients in the database who had participated in the Healthy Behavior Trial. The Healthy Behavior Trial was a randomized controlled trial of a psychoeducational intervention designed to motivate multi-behavior change (changing 2 or more cardiovascular risk factors) in post-coronary angioplasty patients over the course of 24 months.

Who cannot join

  • Non-participants in the Healthy Behavior Trial

About this study

The focus of this secondary data analysis is to determine whether pain due to a combination of both cardiac and non cardiac sources operates as a mediator of behavior change, an area that has not been previously evaluated.

Read the detailed description

This is a secondary data analysis of an existing dataset generated from The Healthy Behavior Trial, an NHLBI-funded randomized controlled trial that enrolled 660 post-coronary angioplasty patients between October 1999 and March 2001. This study employed a behavioral intervention to motivate PCI patients to adopt health behaviors in order to reduce major cardiac and neurologic morbidity and mortality. Patients in the experimental arm were told their estimated biologic age (calculated from the health risk assessment) and risk factors were presented in terms of "biologic age reduction" that could be achieved if a change was made in each health behavior area. Those in the control arm were provided with risk factors (also obtained from the health risk assessment) and told that changing each health behavior could "increase your lifespan."

Specific Aims:

Utilizing 12 month longitudinal data for patients with cardiovascular disease who have undergone coronary angioplasty we will:

Specific aim 1: Determine if pain is a mediator of health behavior change over 12 months.

Specific aim 2: Assess behavior change patterns over 12 months, stratifying for degree of pain, depression and/or stress.

Specific aim 3: Evaluate the effect of pain on quality of life (physical, social, role-physical, role-emotional, vitality, mental health, bodily pain and general health domains), combined major cardiac and neurologic morbidity/mortality and hospitalizations over 12 months.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. successful behavior change over 12 months

    Health behavior will be examined in five areas: overall physical activity, strength training, aerobic activity, weight loss, and smoking cessation. Successful health behavior change will be defined as "action" (engaging in the behavior < six months) or "maintenance" (engaging in the behavior ≥ six months to five years), according to the Transtheoretical Model. We will use self-reported data.

    Measured: Baseline, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Quality of life

    The SF-36 health survey will be the primary measure of quality of life. Each of the eight individual domain scores will be evaluated (physical, social, role-physical, role-emotional, vitality, mental health, bodily pain and general health) and the within-patient change from baseline to 12 months will be calculated. The physical and mental component summary measures will also be calculated, as will the within-patient change from baseline to 12 months for the component scores. We will assess these measures as both continuous and dichotomous measures.

    Measured: Within-patient change from baseline to 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Pain and Depressive Symptoms, 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 1 inclusion and 1 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 8 Mar 2012. 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?

successful behavior change over 12 months (time frame: Baseline, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months). 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 NCT01469780, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 8 Mar 2012.
