Can simple oxygen therapy save limbs? new study investigates.
NCT ID NCT06238050
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether giving extra oxygen through a mask (normobaric oxygen therapy) can help people with critical limb ischemia, a severe lack of blood flow to the legs that can lead to amputation. Researchers will compare the health and treatments of 200 patients who do or do not receive this oxygen therapy in usual hospital care. The goal is to gather information to plan a larger, more definitive trial.
