Exercise for peripheral artery disease
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a home-based exercise program is as effective as supervised exercise for improving walking ability in people with peripheral artery disease (PAD). You will be randomly assigned to one of two exercise groups, and you may be asked to drink beetroot juice as part of the study.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 50 years or older
- You have peripheral artery disease (PAD), confirmed by tests like an ankle-brachial index (ABI) of 0.90 or lower
- You are willing to be randomly assigned to either home-based or supervised exercise
- You do not have a foot ulcer, amputation, or need a walker to get around
- You are willing to drink beetroot juice and avoid other beetroot products during the study
- You have not had major surgery or a heart event in the past 3 months

This study tests whether adding light therapy to a walking program helps people with peripheral artery disease (PAD) walk further and feel better. You'll receive either light therapy or a placebo light while doing a supervised exercise program.
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 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 study tests whether harder interval exercise works better than easier, moderate exercise to improve walking symptoms in people with peripheral artery disease (PAD). It may help you compare which exercise level improves your ability to walk comfortably.
This study tests a combined in-person and remote exercise program for people with peripheral artery disease (poor blood flow to the legs). The goal is to see if this hybrid approach helps you walk farther and improves leg pain compared to standard care.
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.
