Study of a Chinese herbal pill for diabetes-related chest pain
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests if a traditional Chinese medicine called Compound Danshen Dripping Pill can help people with type 2 diabetes who have chest pain even though their heart arteries look normal or only mildly narrowed. The goal is to see if it improves blood flow in small heart vessels.
