Herbal paste for stable angina chest pain
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a traditional Chinese herbal paste (Chaigui Longmu Ejiao) can help people with stable angina (chest pain caused by narrowed heart arteries). If you are already on standard heart treatment and meet the TCM pattern, this study may offer an additional therapy to help your symptoms.
