NCT ID NCT07637396
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This observational study will look at how exercise changes blood flow in the legs of people with or at risk for peripheral arterial disease (PAD). About 85 participants will walk for 6 minutes and have their ankle-brachial index (ABI) measured before and after. The goal is to see if exercise testing can better predict vascular disease and its impact on quality of life.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors use exercise testing to better predict and manage peripheral arterial disease.
What could go wrong
This is an early observational study with only 85 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It is not testing a treatment.
