Digital Support for Supervised Exercise Therapy in Peripheral Arterial

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The individual restrictions of daily life for patients with PAD are more important than statistical facts for mortality and morbidity. Intermittent claudication causes a progressive reduction of the pain-free walking distance (PWD) as an expression of a worsening PAD. This decrease in physical capability results in a decline of mental health and relevantly reduces the patients' quality of life (QoL). Supervised exercise therapy (SET) is a cornerstone in the conservative management of intermittent claudication and extends the PWD. Even though SET is easy to practice and highly cost effective, the adherence to perform SET on a regular base is rather low. The underuse of exercise can be partly explained by the lack of institutional resources, but also by both patients' and physicians' lack of interest in exercise. Mobile health (mHealth) technologies increase the incentives and provide digital support for patients with PAD on several treatment levels. They might lead to a higher adherence to exercise training and offer new scopes in patient-centered healthcare, but so far studies show opposite results. Because app stores are flooded with health and fitness apps, specific support tools are highly desired by patients with PAD and PAD-specific solutions are missing so far. Based on this background, the investigators developed a smartphone app named TrackPAD to provide PAD-specific support for SET. The TrackPAD pilot study was designed as a 2-armed randomized controlled trial and included patients with diagnosed and symptomatic PAD. Patients were randomized by the Center for Clinical Studies in Essen using the TENALEA software into 2 groups. The control group included participants with standard care and no further mobile intervention. The intervention group included participants with standard care and additional mHealth-based self-tracking of their physical activity using trackPAD.

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
