Home walking program using a smartphone app for leg artery pain
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a home-based walking (exercise) plan, guided by a new smartphone app, can help people with intermittent claudication caused by blocked leg arteries. It may help improve walking comfort and ability by using a structured, app-supported exercise routine.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 18 years old
- You have leg pain with walking (intermittent claudication) for more than 3 months
- Your blood-pressure test of the affected leg shows an abnormal result (systolic pressure index below 0.90)
- You had an ultrasound of the leg arteries showing an arterial blockage/lesion
- You do not have heart problems that make walking on a treadmill unsafe (no recent heart attack, no angina, and no tight aortic valve symptoms)
- There are no other health issues that limit walking besides the artery problem, and you can give written consent

This trial tests a personalized exercise program for people with peripheral arterial disease (PAD), a condition that causes leg pain when walking. The goal is to see if a tailored exercise plan can help reduce pain, improve walking distance, and boost quality of life.
This trial tests whether a supervised exercise program can help people with leg pain caused by blocked arteries. It may improve your walking ability and reduce pain when you walk.
This study tests if a combination of a behavioral program and electrical stimulation (TENS) can help people with peripheral artery disease walk farther with less pain. It aims to boost physical activity and quality of life.
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 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 trial tests if a supervised exercise program can improve walking ability in people with leg pain caused by blocked arteries (claudication). You may qualify if you have calf pain after walking short distances that goes away with rest.
