Heat therapy for leg pain study pulled before starting
NCT ID NCT06186505
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study was designed to see if a device called AirGlove, which applies heat, could improve blood flow in the legs of people with peripheral arterial disease (PAD). It planned to include healthy volunteers and people with PAD who experience leg pain when walking. However, the study was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no results are available.
