First seen Mar 26, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 7 times
Summary
This study tested whether colchicine, a drug used for gout, can reduce inflammation in the leg arteries of people with peripheral artery disease (PAD). 24 adults with PAD received either colchicine or a placebo. Researchers used special scans and blood tests to measure inflammation, and also asked about walking ability. The goal was to understand how inflammation affects PAD, not to provide a treatment.
