Shock therapy for leg pain? tiny trial tests TENS plus coaching to get people moving
NCT ID NCT06114732
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a TENS pain-relief device, combined with video coaching sessions from a physiotherapist, can help people with leg pain from peripheral artery disease (PAD) become more active. Forty-eight participants will either get the TENS device plus coaching or usual care. The goal is to see if this approach is practical and acceptable, not yet to prove it works.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) device
What this could lead to
If it works, this approach could offer a practical, home-based way to reduce leg pain and improve walking ability for people with peripheral artery disease.
What could go wrong
This is a very small feasibility trial (48 people) testing whether the methods work, not whether the treatment is effective. The TENS device may not reduce pain enough to make a real difference.
