Abstract
Background: ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a common acute ischemia heart disease that causes serious damage to human health worldwide. Even though morbidity and mortality have significantly decreased by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), an additional cardiac protection strategy is still required. Acupuncture therapy has presented a dominant cardiac protection in many studies lately. Thus, we aim to evaluate the effect and safety of acupuncture as an adjunctive therapy in STEMI patients after PCI through a randomized controlled trial.
Methods/design: This study describes a protocol of multicenter, double-blinded, parallel-controlled, randomized controlled trial. Ninety-six patients with STEMI aged 18-85 years who undergoing PCI will be recruited from the Affiliated Hospital of Chengdu University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, The Affiliated Third Hospital of Chengdu Traditional Chinese Medicine University/Chengdu Pidu District Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Zhaotong Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Participants will be randomly assigned (1:1 ratio) to the verum acupuncture plus basic therapy (i.e., treatment) group or the sham acupuncture plus basic therapy (i.e., control) group. These participants will be treated for 5 days and then will be followed up for 24 weeks. Any adverse events will be recorded throughout the study to evaluate safety.
Discussion: The present study aims to investigate the effect and safety of acupuncture for patients with STEMI after PCI and set up standardized treatment programs for acupuncture of these patients.
Trial registration: This study was registered in the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (Registration ID: [ChiCTR2400081117]), on February 22, 2024.
