N1 - Funding Information: The Enhancing Recovery in Coronary Heart Disease Patients Study (ENRICHD) was sponsored by the NHLBI. The study enrolled 2,481 patients at 73 hospitals within 28 days of an MI; participants had major or minor depression, low social support, or both. Patients were assigned to either a “treatment” or “usual medical care” group ( 262 ). Cognitive therapy was provided by the treatment group for six months. At the end of six months, patients in the treatment group scored significantly better on the Hamilton depression (57% reduction in depression versus 47% reduction in the usual medical care group) scale. Likewise, patients low in social support demonstrated a 27% improvement in this parameter versus 18% for the usual care group. However, despite the treatment groups’ improvement in depression and social isolation, there was no improvement in heart disease survival. Funding Information: Spiritual therapyimplies a healing objective actively sought and documented through experimental intervention. Formal research protocols, Institutional Review Board processes, and informed consent from patients are appropriate. Specific considerations of methodology, mechanism, dose and dose response, and other aspects fundamental to work with any new therapeutic agent in cardiology patients are all applicable. Peer-review grant funding for spiritual therapy protocols is currently identifiable at the NCCAM and other agencies at the NIH. New standards and recommendations for study in this area have recently been published ( 424–429 ). Funding Information: Ongoing studies including those funded by the NCCAM are evaluating energy healing approaches.
