Filter by:Sixty elderly patients from both sexes with PAD, stage II fontaine will participate in this study. Their ages will be from 40-90 years old. They will be selected from kasr el ainy (faculty of medicine), Cairo University, Giza, Egypt. The patients will be randomly assigned into two equal groups: Group (A): 30 patients will receive transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) for 45 minutes per session applied on calf muscle, combined with treadmill three days per week for twelve weeks in addition to the routine medical treatment. Group (B): 30 patients will receive treadmill training for 45 minutes per session, three days per week for twelve weeks in addition to the routine medical treatment
The purpose of this study is to assess the engagement and usefulness of Care4Today® Connect CAD-PAD digital platform in participants with coronary artery disease or peripheral artery disease (CAD or PAD).
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a condition where the blood vessels in the legs get blocked. It affects one out of every five adults over the age of 65. As it is the main cause of amputations, the NHS performs over 20,000 operations every year to prevent them. People with PAD benefit from tablets to thin their blood as this improves outcomes after surgery and prevents heart attacks and strokes. The main tablets for this purpose are aspirin and clopidogrel. These work in most people, but up to a third of patients do not get any benefit from them, as their bodies cannot process them. We call this resistance to therapy (RT).Because blood thinning is particularly important after operations people with RT may be at higher risk of their operation failing leading to amputation and/or problems such as heart attacks and strokes. Testing for RT has not traditionally been performed because it requires complex laboratory procedures. Recent development in technology now means that bedside tests are available for RT. We will use a simple beside test for RT in patients with severe PAD. We will use this test to see how many of these patients have RT and whether this affects their risk of complications after an operation. If we find that RT does affect outcomes for patients with PAD, the information obtained will be used to plan future research to determine if changing blood thinning therapy in people with CR improves their outcomes after surgery.
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the effects of passive calf muscle stretching in patients diagnosed with peripheral artery disease (PAD). The main question it aims to answer are: 1. To determine if daily calf muscle stretching at home improves calf muscle and vascular health. 2. To determine if daily calf muscle stretching at home improves walking performance. Participants will use inflatable ankle splints for 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week for 4-weeks on both days and 4-weeks of no stretching.
Walking is beneficial for adults with peripheral arterial disease. Benefits include the ability to walk for longer periods and general well being (quality of life). This study will look at two types of delivery methods for a home-based walking program. The walking program includes step count goals, information on healthy walking and motivational messages. The two delivery methods include a web-based delivery and an telehealth delivery. Participants are randomized to either one of the delivery methods or usual care. After 12 weeks participants in the web based or telehealth based groups maybe re-randomized to receive a combination of both web-based and telehealth for a second 12 week period. After 24 weeks, everyone is followed for an additional 12 weeks, so the total time a participant is in the study is 36 weeks. At baseline, 12, 24 and 36 weeks the investigators ask participant to walk (slowly) on a treadmill, perform a six-minute walk test, and several questionnaires on quality of life. Vouchers are provided at each study visit. All participants who complete the study also keep their pedometer.
Supervised exercise therapy (SET), consisting of treadmill exercise conducted three times weekly at a center while supervised by healthcare personnel, is first line therapy for people disabled by lower extremity peripheral artery disease (PAD). However, travelling three times/week to a center for SET is burdensome. Compared to SET, home-based exercise is more accessible and less burdensome. Yet, evidence-based guidelines recommend SET over home-based exercise for PAD. Walking exercise is first line therapy to improve walking distance for PAD, but it does not eliminate ischemic leg symptoms in most people with PAD. The investigators' work and that of others showed that nitrate-rich beetroot juice, which increases plasma nitrite, limb perfusion, and skeletal muscle function, significantly improved exercise tolerance and reduced non-response to exercise in people with and without PAD. The investigators will use a 2 x 2 factorial design to address two major barriers to achieving benefits from exercise therapy for PAD: First, guideline recommendations for supervised exercise therapy (SET) as first line therapy for PAD. Second, the inability of exercise therapy to eliminate PAD-related disability in most people with PAD. Participants will be randomized to one of four groups for 12 weeks: Supervised treadmill exercise + nitrate rich beetroot juice; supervised treadmill exercise + placebo, home-based walking exercise + nitrate rich beetroot juice, home-based walking exercise + placebo.
Verify the effectiveness and safety of rapamycin coated balloon dilation catheter for the treatment of dialysis pathway stenosis or blockage lesions.
This clinical trial aims to analyze the effects of concurrent vs aerobic training on glycemic control, ABI, functional capacity and disease-specific QOL among patients with Type-II DM-associated PAD at baseline & after 12 weeks of intervention. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Is concurrent training more effective than aerobic training in improving glycemic control among patients with Type-II DM-associated PAD? 2. Is concurrent training more effective than aerobic training in improving ABI among patients with Type-II DM-associated PAD? 3. Is concurrent training more effective than aerobic training in enhancing functional capacity among patients with Type-II DM-associated PAD? 4. Is concurrent training more effective than aerobic training in improving QOL among patients with Type-II DM-associated PAD? Signed informed consent will be taken before participation. For exercise training, Both will perform Warm up for 10 - 12 minutes, followed by 30 - 60 minutes of training protocol and then Cool down exercises for 10 - 12 minutes. Group A will perform concurrent training, whereas Group B will perform aerobic training.
