About this study
Official title: Study on Therapeutic Effect of Treating Mental Stress Induced Myocardial Ischemia With Conventional Therapy for Coronary Heart Disease Combined With Traditional Chinese Medicine :Design and Methods
This study aims to discuss whether the combined treatment of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and western medicine for Mental Stress Induced Myocardial Ischemia (MSIMI) does effect, namely the conventional therapy for Coronary Heart Disease( CHD) combining with TCM - Xinkeshu tablets.
Read the detailed description
A large number of evidence-based medical researches have proven that bad mood and mental stress are related to poor prognosis. Having recognized that acute emotional stress can induce cardiovascular events, many clinical tests of mental stress have been carried out to observe the correlation between emotional stress and cardiac damage, which ultimately lead to the formalization of the concept of Mental Stress Induced Myocardial Ischemia(MSIMI). In the past 3 decades, it has been evidenced that mental stress is internally related to myocardial ischemia. According to current studies, over 70% patients with stable coronary heart disease have MSIMI and are exposed to three or four times higher risk of cardiovascular events. However, few articles are about the therapeutic effect of MSIMI treatment. This study aims to discuss whether the combined treatment of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and western medicine for MSIMI does effect, namely the conventional therapy for CHD combining with TCM - Xinkeshu tablets.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Xinkeshu tablets in people with Theraphy of Chinese Traditional Medicine, run by Meiyan Liu at 1 site in China.
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 4 inclusion and 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Jan 2015. 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 China. 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?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Liu Meiyan (13001241364 ext. 86, zhanglijun0411@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Left ventricular ejection fraction (time frame: up to 8 weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02135250, which also lists 23 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 27 Jan 2015.
