About this study

Cardiac shock wave therapy (CSWT) is a noninvasive new therapeutic option in the treatment of chronic refractory angina pectoris. Many domestic and international researches have revealed that CSWT contributes to revascularization by stimulating angiogenesis. We were aimed to evaluate the safety and efficiency of CSWT in the treatment of refractory angina.

What participants receive

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

  • Cardiac shock wave therapyDevice

    Ultrasound guided cardiac shock wave therapy (CSWT) is a new treatment method offering an alternative to revascularization by stimulating angiogenesis. Subsequent clinical trials showed that CSWT could reduce symptoms of myocardial ischemia and improve cardiac function in patients with severe coronary artery disease.

Study groups in NCT03398096
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Cardiac shock wave therapy (CSWT) groupExperimentalThe CWST group were performed with a CSWT equipment (Storz Medical, Switzerland) followed the recommended protocol developed by Tohoku University of Japan with respect to the shockwave output and the number of shots implemented to each spot and the protocol developed by the University of Essen, Germany.
Receives: Device: Cardiac shock wave therapy
Control groupNo interventionNo CWST treatment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) grading of angina

    questionnaire of Canadian Cardiovascular Society grading of angina concerning exercise tolerance

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Seattle angina questions (SAQ)

    questionnaire of Seattle angina questions to evaluate the effect of coronary artery disease on patients' life quality

    Measured: 6 months

  3. 6-min walk test

    All participants will receive a 6 minutes' walk test to evaluate their effect of treatment of cardiac shock wave therapy

    Measured: 6 months

  4. Nitrate consumption

    All participants will receive a questionnaire of the amount of nitrate they need before and after treatment of cardiac shock wave therapy

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Cardiac shock wave therapy in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by Shanghai 10th People's Hospital 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 6 inclusion and 8 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 12 Jan 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 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 Weijing Liu (18917684041, liuweijing98@sina.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) grading of angina (time frame: 6 months). The study lists 4 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 NCT03398096, 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 12 Jan 2018.
