Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change from baseline of the Quantification score of angina pectoris at Day 7
Time Frame: Day 7
Quantification score of angina pectoris is a 4-item questionnaire that quantifies the frequency of angina, the duration of angina at every attack, the severity of angina and the use of nitroglycerin in a week. Scores range from 0 to 24; higher scores indicate worse health status.
Day 7

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Total score of symptoms questionnaire of TCM
Time Frame: Day 0, Day 7
The symptoms questionnaire of TCM consists of 6 symptoms that described in traditional Chinese medicine, including chest pain, chest distress, palpitation, dark-purple lip, dark-purple tongue and unsmooth pulse. Each symptom was assessed by the Visual Analogue Scale（VAS），where a higher score meant higher severity.
Day 0, Day 7
Use of Short-acting Nitrates
Time Frame: Day 0, Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4, Day 5, Day 6, Day 7, Day 28
Day 0, Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4, Day 5, Day 6, Day 7, Day 28
Change in the electrocardiogram (ECG)
Time Frame: Day 0, Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4, Day 5, Day 6, Day 7, Day 28
ECG will be done five times every day, when 5-10 min before use of nitrates or Danhong injection, 5-10 min after use of nitrates or Danhong injection, at the time 22:00. If there is an angina attack, an additional ECG should be done when the angina attacks.
Day 0, Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4, Day 5, Day 6, Day 7, Day 28
The proportion of patients who are undergoing PCI
Time Frame: Day 7, Day 28
Day 7, Day 28
Change in Seattle Angina Questionnaire
Time Frame: Day 0, Day 28
Seattle Angina Questionnaire, a 19-item questionnaire that quantifies physical limitations due to angina, any recent change in the severity of angina, the frequency of angina, satisfaction with treatment, and quality of life. Scores range from 0 to 100; higher scores indicate better health status.With a score of 20 or more on the angina-frequency scale indicating that the patient was clinically significant change.
Day 0, Day 28
