Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is a common treatment for those with CHD, focusing on changing lifestyles and managing the disease. However, it often does not address stress management adequately. There is also a lack of psychological therapy and involvement of mental health professionals in online CR programs. Because traditional CR programs have low participation rates, online platforms are becoming more popular for providing rehabilitation support. This is important because more than half of people with CHD report high stress levels, which can cause or worsen heart problems. To address this issue, the proposed study will test an online CR program that includes mindfulness to help manage stress for CHD patients.",[27],"Coronary Heart Disease (CHD)",[29,30,31],"cardiac rehabilitation","mindfulness","eHealth","RECRUITING","2025-07-30",{"date":35,"type":36},"2025-08-07","ACTUAL",{"date":38,"type":36},"2024-07-20",{"date":40,"type":21},"2026-01-30",{"name":42,"class":43},"Tung Wah College","OTHER",1,{"id":46,"slug":47,"hasResults":11,"nctId":48,"briefTitle":49,"officialTitle":50,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":51,"healthyVolunteers":11,"sex":17,"minAge":18,"maxAge":4,"enrollmentInfo":52,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":22,"phases":54,"briefSummary":55,"conditions":56,"keywords":58,"overallStatus":71,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":72,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":73,"startDateStruct":75,"completionDateStruct":76,"leadSponsor":78,"locationsCount":5},"100573334","auricular-acupressure-integrated-with-a-smartphone-application-for-weight-reduction-100573334","NCT06744933","Auricular Acupressure Integrated With a Smartphone Application for Weight Reduction","Self-administered Auricular Acupressure Integrated With a Smartphone Application for Weight Reduction in Patients With Obesity Accompanied With Obesity-related Comorbid Illness: A Randomised Controlled Clinical Trial","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n1. age ≥ 18 years;\n2.
