Lifestyle weight-loss program for people with PAD to stay mobile
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a healthy-lifestyle weight-loss program can help people with peripheral artery disease (PAD) lose weight and prevent worsening mobility. You may be eligible if you have PAD based on specific leg blood-flow test results and a higher body weight.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years or older
- Have PAD confirmed by leg blood-flow testing (ankle-brachial index and/or toe-brachial index)
- Have a body mass index (BMI) over 25
- Not have had major leg circulation procedures or major heart/leg surgery in the last 3 months (or expect one soon)
- Complete a 2-week “run-in” where you record enough calories (at least 800 calories/day for at least 5 days)
- Be able and willing to use a smart phone and join weekly study sessions

This trial tests a new kind of exercise that is meant to be non-ischemic (not reduce blood flow) and pain-free, to see if it helps people with peripheral artery disease (PAD) who get leg pain when walking. You may be eligible if you have PAD confirmed by specific treadmill and blood-pressure measurements and meet the exercise and health safety requirements.
This study tests whether a phone-based program can help improve walking in Veterans with peripheral artery disease (PAD) by guiding regular exercise. It aims to reduce leg symptoms by making walking practice safer and easier to stick with.
This study looks at how diet changes and an exercise program may improve walking and leg symptoms in people with peripheral artery disease (PAD). You may be eligible if you have a history of claudication (leg pain with walking) and tests or treatment history show PAD.
This study tests whether doing simple leg exercises at home with a small, portable pedal machine can help improve walking and blood flow in people with moderate-to-severe PAD. It's for people who cannot or prefer not to join a hospital-based exercise program.
This trial tests whether using a wearable activity tracker (like a fitness band) can help people with peripheral artery disease walk better and farther without pain. It's designed for people newly diagnosed with leg pain when walking (claudication) and offers a simple way to track and improve your walking.
This study tests a home-based walking program delivered through telehealth for Veterans with peripheral artery disease (PAD). It aims to help you walk farther with less pain.
