Intermittent vascular claudication

This study looked at how well the AURYON atherectomy device works for people with peripheral artery disease (PAD), where leg arteries become blocked. The device uses a laser to vaporize plaque and restore blood flow. Researchers followed 102 patients to see if the procedure was s…

This study tested whether ramipril, a common blood pressure medicine, can improve walking distance in people with intermittent claudication (leg pain due to narrowed arteries). Researchers planned to enroll 78 adults with stable leg pain, giving half ramipril and half a placebo. …

This study tested whether a small device called TENS, which sends mild electrical pulses to the skin, could reduce leg pain during walking in people with peripheral artery disease (PAD). It also looked at adding a patient education program to encourage more physical activity. The…

This study looked at 26 people with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) to see how arm exercise changes oxygen levels in their leg muscles. Participants used an arm ergometer while a sensor measured calf oxygen saturation. The goal was to understand why arm training can improve leg…

This study tested a tool called KomPas+ that helps therapists and patients with leg pain from blocked arteries (intermittent claudication) make shared decisions about treatment. Over 2,200 participants used the tool to see if it improved walking distance and quality of life. The …
