NCT ID NCT03203239

First seen May 12, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether a single 5-minute exposure to a specific type of light (670 nm) can increase blood flow in the calf muscles of people with peripheral artery disease (PAD). Researchers will measure blood flow using ultrasound and take blood samples to check for nitric oxide, a molecule that helps blood vessels relax. The goal is to understand how light might help improve circulation in PAD.
