Clinical Trial: Neurostimulation to Treat Refractory Angina Pectoris Pain
Study Status: Terminated
Recruit Status: Terminated
Study Type: Interventional
Official Title: STARTSTIM - Stimulation Therapy for Angina Refractory To Standard Treatments, Interventions and Medications
Brief Summary: The therapy under investigation involves an implanted Medtronic neurostimulation system to relieve symptoms of angina pectoris pain. Electrical impulses are applied to targeted areas of the spinal cord through an implanted lead (a flexible insulated wire) that is powered by an implanted battery.
Detailed Summary:
Sponsor: MedtronicNeuro
Current Primary Outcome: The primary endpoint is total exercise time on a treadmill compared between treatment groups at six months.
Original Primary Outcome: Same as current
Current Secondary Outcome: Secondary outcome measures include exercise time to angina onset and improvement in angina symptoms and cardiovascular function.
Original Secondary Outcome: Same as current
