Comparison Between XueZhiKang and Simvastatin on Fatigue: a Single-center, Randomized Clinical Trial
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating XueZhiKang and simvastatin for Dyslipidemias. Completed, enrolled 60 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Both XueZhiKang and Statins are cholesterol-lowering medications that are often prescribed for individuals with high cholesterol and who are at risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Several studies, including one randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial, have suggested that the use of statins is more frequently associated with fatigue. And XueZhiKang may be not. The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of these two medications on fatigue in persons who are at moderate to low CVD risk based on the risk estimation system in ESC(European Society of Cardiology)/ESA(European Atherosclerosis Society) guidelines (2011) for the management of dyslipidemias.
