Heat Therapy to Reduce Pain and Improve Walking Tolerance

Peripheral Arterial Disease Clinical Trial

Official title:
Heat Therapy to Reduce Leg Pain and Improve Walking Tolerance in Patients With Symptomatic Peripheral Artery Disease

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether exposure to heat therapy improves calf muscle oxygenation and enhances walking tolerance in patients with symptomatic Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD).

Clinical Trial Description

Heat therapy (HT) is an emerging non-invasive approach that has been shown to enhance vascular function of the leg in old individuals. The objective of this study is to establish evidence to support the validity of HT in improving walking tolerance on PAD patents. Subjects will complete baseline assessments for eligibility, including medical history and ankle-brachial measurement. Eligible participants will be asked to report to the laboratory on 4 different occasions. The purpose of visits 1 and 2 The central hypothesis of this study, based on preliminary data, is that exposure to HT will enhance the oxygenation of calf muscles during exercise and as a result, the onset of pain will be delayed and walking performance will be enhanced. is to familiarize the participants with the treadmill walking test and assess the test-retest reliability of maximal walking time determination. On visits 3 and 4 participants will receive either heat treatment or a control treatment for 80 min prior to undergoing a symptom-limited incremental test on the treadmill. ;
