Testing treatment for heart pain with anxiety or depression
Part of Heart & circulation, Pain clinical trials.
This trial looks at people who have coronary artery disease and unstable or certain stable chest-pain symptoms, especially when anxiety or depressive symptoms are also present. The goal is to see how the study approach helps heart symptoms when mental health symptoms occur at the same time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have an established diagnosis of coronary artery disease (blocked heart arteries).
- You have unstable angina, meaning new or worsening chest pain that does not follow your usual pattern.
- You also may have stable exertional angina in class I to III (chest pain with activity that is not the most severe category).
- You are willing to join the study and complete questionnaires.

This trial follows people who have coronary heart disease or ongoing chest pain that needs a heart scan called coronary angiography. It also includes healthy volunteers for comparison, to help researchers understand risk factors and outcomes over time.
This trial studies people who have chest pain (angina) due to problems with the heart’s small arteries, not a big blockage. It aims to test whether treatment approaches can help these patients by better understanding the cause of their heart-related symptoms.
This study is a registry that collects information from people who come to the hospital with heart-related symptoms like chest pain or high troponin levels. It helps doctors better understand different heart conditions and improve care.
This trial studies how well different heart tests (imaging the blood flow and measuring blood pressure in the heart) work for people with stable chest pain. It may help guide safer, more accurate evaluation when you are not having a heart attack.
This study looks at whether a comprehensive add-on treatment—starting with immune medicine and then a heart procedure when needed—can improve outcomes for people whose coronary artery disease is getting worse quickly. It focuses on cases where inflammation is likely driving new artery blockages or worsening chest pain.
This study looks at why some people have chest pain or other heart symptoms even when their main heart arteries are not blocked. It tests whether inflammation in the small blood vessels of the heart might cause these symptoms, and aims to understand how to better diagnose and treat this condition.
