Electrical Stimulation as an Adjunctive Therapy to Increase Vascular Perfusion in People With PAD or PVD

PAD - Peripheral Arterial Disease Clinical Trial

Official title: Electrical Stimulation as an Adjunctive Therapy to Increase Vascular Perfusion in People With PAD or PVD

Status Terminated

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to apply Avazzia micro-current stimulation to patients with chronic, non-healing wounds to determine if this therapy is effective in perfusion and bacterial measurements.

Clinical Trial Description

Investigators hope to learn if micro-current stimulation to a chronic, non-healing wound can be lead to healing. Perfusion studies and bacterial measurements will be assessed before and after treatment on this cross-over study.

Avazzia microcurrent stimulation was applied to patients with chronic, non-healing wounds in Malaysia and was presented at the international wound conference. In 2015 a poster presentation was presented with a 10-patient case series, and in August 2016, a presentation was made by Dr. Nair, keynote speaker about his 100- patient case series showing that the treatment was safe and effective. Dr. Nair followed this study with a 5-patient study looking at perfusion images using SPY- LUNA imaging equipment. The 5-patient study looked at different methods of applying the therapy. ;
