Filter by:Single centre observational study to assess lower extremity arterial disease (LEAD) patients' cardiac dysfunction with strain analyses and to assess connections between cardiac dysfunction, metabolomic changes and target organ damage in LEAD.
The goal of this mechanistic clinical trial is to test the effects of reducing inflammatory signaling in femoral artery atherosclerotic plaques. Researchers will compare patients receiving colchicine to patients receiving placebo to determine the effect of colchicine on the inflammatory state of atherosclerotic femoral arteries.
The goal of this non interventional study is to evaluate the long-term clinical effects (3-year follow-up after the procedure) of Jetstream atherectomy combined with a paclitaxel-eluting balloon (Ranger) in all patients who were treated for calcified femoropopliteal lesions (de novo, single or multiple, mono- or bilateral) between December 1, 2016 and December 31, 2020 at the Clinique Rhône-Durance, Avignon, France
The LIGHT PAD Trial is a Phase II multi-centered randomized clinical trial to collect preliminary data to test whether daily far red light treatment of the lower extremities in people with PAD improves six-minute walk distance, lower extremity perfusion, and ischemia-related damage in gastrocnemius muscle at four-month follow-up, compared to a sham control. Participants will complete 10 minutes of twice daily home treatment with either far red light or a sham light for four months.
The North Kynouria Project was initiated to study cardiovascular/stroke risk factors by employing mass screening and long-term surveillance of an adult population in the municipality of North Kynouria, in the county of Arcadia, Peloponnese, Greece. The North Kynouria Study was initiated to assess modifiable and non-modifiable determinants of cerebrovascular and coronary heart disease.
Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) is a common vascular disease which commonly causes limb pain and reduced exercise tolerance termed Intermittent Claudication (IC). People with PAD and IC have impaired quality of life, reduced walking ability, and increased mortality compared to those who do not have the condition. Improving physical activity (PA) is important in individuals with IC it can improve function, morbidity and mortality rates. While supervised exercise classes are recommended by healthcare authorities they are geographically sparse, and not always accessible due to individuals walking limitations. While home-based exercise can be accessible and improve walking ability, it can be challenging for people with IC to initially plan, conduct, and stay motivated to complete a walking program unsupported, especially when they experience limb pain when walking. Investigators have shown that Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS), a non-invasive pain management device, with aims to improve pain and walking distances in patients with IC may be an acceptable modality alongside advice and support from a physiotherapist to overcome these challenges. Investigators have also shown that motivational interviewing, education, and goal-setting with a physiotherapist (physical therapist) has the potential to increase PA, and quality of life. This study aims to conduct a feasibility trial of four telehealth physiotherapy sessions, alongside the provision of a CE-marked TENS device to reduce limb pain during physical activity. This will be compared to the usual care offered in NHS Lanarkshire
The ALOFT Pilot Trial will evaluate three pragmatic elements (recruitment, adherence, and follow-up) of neuraxial versus general anesthesia for lower limb revascularization surgery that are necessary to support a successful, large-scale evaluation. We will concurrently use implementation science methodology to further refine processes for the larger trial. The future full ALOFT trial will be designed to evaluate the comparative effectiveness of two different anesthesia types for improving outcomes.
The BRight PK Study is a prospective, single-arm, open-label, non-blinded, non-randomized study, which goal is to assess the pharmacokinetic profile of the BRight drug-coated balloon at different time points after the balloon deployment. The study will enroll a maximum of 10 patients at a single site in Australia
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.
