Website may help patients overcome statin side effects
NCT ID NCT06423365
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether an educational website helps people who stopped taking statins due to muscle pain make informed decisions about restarting. Nearly 900 participants were randomly assigned to use the website or receive usual care. The goal was to see if the website increased the number of people who retry and stick with statin therapy to lower cholesterol and heart disease risk.
