What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This study looks at how arm cranking exercise and warm water foot immersion change blood flow and shear stress in the leg arteries of people with peripheral artery disease (PAD). Fifteen participants with PAD and claudication symptoms will complete three sessions: arm exercise, warm water foot soak, and a control session. Researchers will measure artery diameter, blood flow, and shear stress using ultrasound to understand how these interventions affect circulation.

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 design better exercise programs for people with peripheral artery disease to improve leg blood flow.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 15 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It measures short-term effects, not long-term benefits.
