The investigators long-term goal is symptom management for diverse women and men with angina, targeting additional angina burden borne of social disadvantageParticipants will be randomized to a 10-acupuncture session protocol, two treatments per week for five weeks, or an attention control group. Participants will view designated, non-pain related Technology, Entertainment, Design Talks equal to the time spent receiving acupuncture (\~7.5-10 hrs.).The investigators will test the efficacy of acupuncture for stable angina/chest pain syndrome to reduce pain and symptoms, improve health-related quality of life, reduce healthcare utilization and and improve patient related health outcomes., conditionsModule conditions: Angina, Stable, designModule studyType: INTERVENTIONAL, phases: NA, designInfo allocation: RANDOMIZED, interventionModel: PARALLEL, primaryPurpose: TREATMENT, maskingInfo masking: DOUBLE, whoMasked: INVESTIGATOR, whoMasked: OUTCOMES_ASSESSOR, enrollmentInfo count: 112, type: ESTIMATED, armsInterventionsModule interventions name: Acupuncture, interventions name: Attention control, outcomesModule primaryOutcomes measure: Pain Now, primaryOutcomes measure: Worst Pain, primaryOutcomes measure: Least Pain, primaryOutcomes measure: Acute Coronary Syndrome like symptoms (ACS Symptom Checklist), primaryOutcomes measure: Anginal Pain (Seattle Angina Questionnaire-7), primaryOutcomes measure: Number of Angina Attacks (From American Heart Association Angina Log), primaryOutcomes measure: Symptom Triggers (From American Heart Association Angina Log), primaryOutcomes measure: Pain from Angina Attack (From American Heart Association Angina Log), primaryOutcomes measure: Length of Angina Attack (American Heart Association Angina Log), primaryOutcomes measure: Self-treatment for Symptoms (From American Heart Association Angina Log), secondaryOutcomes measure: Functional Status Related to Angina (Seattle Angina Questionnaire-7), secondaryOutcomes measure: General Functional Status (PROMIS 29v.2), secondaryOutcomes measure: Quality of Life (Seattle Angina Questionnaire-7), secondaryOutcomes measure: Use of Nitrates and Analgesics (AHA Angina log), secondaryOutcomes measure: Patient Reported Outcomes (Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System-29v.2, secondaryOutcomes measure: Healthcare Utilization, secondaryOutcomes measure: Ischemia on Electrocardiogram (ECG), eligibilityModule sex: ALL, minimumAge: 21 Years, stdAges: ADULT, stdAges: OLDER_ADULT, contactsLocationsModule, hasResults: False
