Oxygen-guided walking therapy for leg pain
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests if monitoring oxygen levels during supervised walking therapy helps people with leg pain from narrowed arteries. It may improve how far you can walk without pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have leg pain when walking due to clogged arteries (documented by tests).
- Your pain is stable (not getting worse or causing wounds).
- Your blood pressure, cholesterol, and diabetes have been stable for 6 weeks.
- You can walk, but other health problems (like severe heart or lung disease) do not limit your walking more than the leg pain.
- You do not have severe leg pain at rest or open sores on your leg.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 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.
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 a community-based exercise program helps people recover and improve walking after a procedure to restore blood flow in the leg arteries. It may help if your main problem is leg circulation problems and you’re able to take part in exercise safely.
