View clinical trials related to Intermittent Claudication.
Filter by:Intermittent claudication afflicts 5% of the US population older than 55 years of age and develops along with hardening of the arteries of the legs. Claudicating patients limp and can only walk very short distances because their legs hurt. This protocol evaluates the mechanisms that may produce the leg dysfunction of claudication and its successful completion can ultimately produce significant new diagnostic and treatment strategies for the care of claudicating patients.
A study to see what effect the geko™ device has on blood flow in patients with lower limb vascular disease.
IVUS imaging will be utilized to assess performance of the Sponsor's Orbital Atherectomy System (OAS) followed by adjunctive balloon angioplasty (BA) in patients who have symptomatic peripheral artery disease (PAD) occurring in the Superficial Femoral Artery (SFA), Popliteal (POP), and/or Tibioperoneal Trunk (TPT).
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a major complication of atherosclerosis when blockages in the arteries to leg reduce blood flow and one of the resulting problems is termed intermittent claudication (IC). IC is leg pain with walking that is relieved with rest and IC is the most frequent clinical manifestation of PAD and it effects millions of Americans. The number of patients with, and the health care costs of, PAD will increase as the prevalence of PAD is associated with advancing age, diabetes, and smoking. Zibotentan (ZD4054) is an endothelin receptor A (ETA) blocker that undergone extensive human testing and has been shown to be safe in several patient population. There is ample evidence to suggest that an ETA blocker could improve blood flow to the legs in patients with PAD. In a study that will be funded by the National Institute of Health, the investigators will test the ability of this medication to allow better blood flow to the legs of patients with PAD. In patients with IC, the investigators will test the ability of ZD4054 to improve leg blood flow using a non-invasive imaging technique. In parallel the study will test for the ability of patients with leg pain to walk further and feel better.
This trial is a comparative study of Opast tablet and Rikalin capsule 75mg and Rikalin capsule 75mg in combination with Opast tablet to evaluate improvement effectiveness of Opast tablet on subjective symptoms and neurologic claudication in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis.
Cardiovascular disease remain one of the leading causes of death in Australia, accounting for 47637 (36%) of deaths in 2004. Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a category of cardiovascular disease, characterised by intermittent claudication. This is defined as walking induced pain, cramping, aching, tiredness or heaviness in one or both legs that does not go away with continued walking and is relieved with rest. It is estimated that between 5-10% of individuals aged over 50 years suffer from claudication. The primary and most effective treatment for these patients is focused on improving walking ability and functional status. Current research has shown that approximately 30% of patients improve with exercise, while 30% continue to deteriorate and the rest show no change. The changes produced at a biochemical and cellular level due to exercise are unknown. To help better understand this, our study will assess the entire range of proteins expressed before and after exercise in the skeletal muscle tissue of patients with intermittent claudication. This will help to identifying key proteins that have a role in improving patient symptoms and outcome.
This is a prospective, randomized, multi-center, single-blind study to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the CVI Paclitaxel-coated percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) balloon versus bare PTA balloon for the treatment of patients with de novo occluded/stenotic or reoccluded/restenotic lesions of the superficial femoral (SFA) and popliteal arteries.
The hypothesis of this study is that one bout of leg exercise gives acute qualitative changes in mitochondrial function in claudication. Final purpose is to determine the optimal exercise frequency in treatment of claudication.
This is a randomised controlled study of patients suffering from intermittent claudication (IC), to assess the impact of wearing a Nike FuelBand (NFB) on walking distances, exercise levels and quality of life.
The main aim of this study is to determine how common undiagnosed obstructive sleep apnoea is in individuals with intermittent claudication.
