About this study

Official title: Smartphone-delivered Stress Reduction Intervention for Women With Ischemic Heart Disease

This is a single center, randomized controlled trial which will include women with ischemic heart disease to receive either a self-directed stress reduction program delivered through a smart-phone application or activity tracking only for the first month ("early SR intervention" and "delayed SR intervention", respectively). Patients will be monitored for 1 month for application use and step counts via telephone or email interview and/or collection of screen-captured data. Baseline questionnaires will be repeated at the end of one month to assess for all primary and secondary measures, at which time the control group (activity tracking only) will be introduced to the intervention program. The early SR intervention group will not receive a new intervention but will be encouraged to continue using the app. Data will be collected for an additional 2 months with all participants in both groups. After the three-month study period, the study will close with the collection of final questionnaire data.

Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. Seattle Angina Questionnaire [SAQ]

    The Seattle Angina Questionnaire is a well-validated descriptive instrument for measuring quality of life across five dimensions of coronary artery disease: physical limitation, anginal stability, anginal frequency, treatment satisfaction and disease perception. 45 Patient SAQ scores have been found to be independently prognostic of subsequent mortality, hospitalization, and resource use.

    Measured: Change from Baseline to 3 Months

  2. Rose Dyspnea Score

    The Rose Dyspnea Score provides additional information about patient dyspnea, which is a common complaint in patients with IHD independent of the presence of heart failure.

    Measured: Change from Baseline to 3 Months

  3. Patient Health Questionnaire [PHQ-2]

    a 2-item screening tool for depression, which can be assessed further using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 if positive

    Measured: Change from Baseline to 3 Months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Duke Activity Status Index score

    independently and incrementally predicts major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in patients post-MI as well as in those with chronic stable heart failure

    Measured: Change from Baseline to 3 Months

  2. European Quality of Life- Five Dimensions (EQ-5D) scores

    Measured: Change from Baseline to 3 Months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Early SR intervention and Delayed SR intervention in people with Ischemic Heart Disease, run by NYU Langone Health 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 8 inclusion and 3 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Jul 2018. 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 was stopped early (reason given: were not able to find enough eligible patients. We recruited 6, with incomplete data on those participants.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Seattle Angina Questionnaire [SAQ] (time frame: Change from Baseline to 3 Months). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 19 Jul 2018.
