Beetroot juice study for circulation problems in leg arteries
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether drinking beetroot juice can improve how well people with peripheral artery disease (PAD) can function and walk. It’s looking at circulation-related measurements in the legs and how you do on walking tests.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be age 50 or older
- Have PAD confirmed by a leg circulation test (like ABI/two-leg blood pressure checks or imaging)
- Not already missing a lower leg below the knee (no above/below-knee amputation)
- Be able to walk without needing a wheelchair or a walker, and walking limits must be from PAD
- Not currently have a foot sore/ulcer on the bottom of your foot

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether beetroot juice, which contains natural nitrates that help blood vessels relax, combined with exercise, can improve walking ability in people with peripheral artery disease (PAD). You might be able to join if you have PAD, can walk without a walker, and are willing to avoid beet products for a while.
This Phase 3 study tests whether cocoa extract (cocoa flavanols) can improve walking ability and circulation in people with peripheral artery disease (PAD). It may help people who have PAD-related walking limits and can safely avoid competing cocoa sources and caffeine.
This trial tests whether drinking beetroot juice and doing home-based exercise can improve walking ability after you've had a procedure to open up blocked leg arteries. It's for people who are ready to start a walking program and want to avoid surgery.
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 trial studies whether applying heat to your legs can improve symptoms and function in people with peripheral artery disease (reduced blood flow to the legs). You may be tested with a simple blood-flow check and an MRI scan, depending on eligibility.
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.
