Studying care plans for severe leg blood flow problems
Part of Heart & circulation, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how best to manage severe leg ischaemia, a condition where blood flow to the leg is dangerously reduced. It mainly involves patients who are planning an intervention, and some participants may also do special heart imaging tests.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have severe leg ischaemia (SLI) and are seen at the Leicester Vascular Institute
- Your leg problem is caused by blocked/limited artery disease (PAOD)
- You are not having an intervention before joining the study
- You can consent (or have someone who can help when you can’t) and you have an English-speaking understanding
- If you’re in the extra imaging part, you can safely have a cardiac MRI scan

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study follows adults with very poor blood flow to the foot or leg (with wounds or severe pain) who are having a revascularization procedure to improve circulation. It may help doctors understand outcomes after treatment and improve care for people with critical limb ischemia.
This trial tests a supervised exercise program for people with leg pain when walking caused by narrowed leg arteries. The goal is to see if exercise can improve walking ability and quality of life.
This trial uses a Doppler ultrasound to measure blood flow speed in your leg arteries to see if it can better predict a severe form of peripheral artery disease called critical limb ischemia. You may qualify if you have known artery disease in your leg and are already scheduled for a toe blood pressure test.
This study looks at how well blood flows through leg arteries after using a balloon to open blockages. It uses special measurements to check if the treatment fully restores blood flow, which may help guide future treatments.
This study tests a new way to restore blood flow to the leg in people who have wounds or dead tissue on their foot and have run out of other treatment options. It's for those who have already tried angioplasty twice without success or have severely hardened small arteries.
This study tests a new questionnaire (modified VascuQol) to measure how leg artery disease affects your daily life. It aims to create a better tool for doctors to track your symptoms and well-being.
