MitoQ for leg pain from blocked arteries
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether MitoQ, a supplement that protects cells, can improve leg pain and walking ability in people with peripheral artery disease. It aims to see if it helps the tiny blood vessels and muscle fibers in the leg.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have leg pain or cramping when walking that gets better when you rest (called claudication).
- A doctor has confirmed your leg pain is from blocked arteries in your legs (peripheral artery disease).
- You are not having leg pain at rest or any open sores or dead tissue (gangrene).
- You do not have another condition like arthritis or heart/lung disease that limits walking more than your leg pain.
- Your blood pressure, cholesterol, and diabetes (if you have them) have been stable for the past 6 weeks.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether ramipril (a blood-pressure medicine) can improve leg muscle problems linked to poor blood flow in people with chronic claudication—pain that limits walking. It’s mainly looking at changes related to oxidative stress and muscle scarring (fibrosis).
This trial tests whether a drug called diroximel fumarate (Vumerity) can improve blood flow and walking ability in people with peripheral artery disease (PAD). It compares people with PAD to healthy volunteers of the same age.
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 is testing a special exercise and lifestyle program (called cardiac rehabilitation) for people with peripheral artery disease. The program may help improve your walking ability and reduce leg pain, so you can do daily activities more easily.
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 study tests whether heat therapy (like warm baths or heat packs) can improve blood flow and walking ability in people with peripheral artery disease (PAD). If you have leg pain when walking due to PAD, this treatment might help you walk further with less discomfort.
