Single versus double leg cycling for peripheral artery disease
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether cycling with one leg or both legs works better to improve blood flow in people with peripheral artery disease (narrowed arteries in the legs). You will be randomly assigned to one of two exercise groups to see which helps more with walking pain and circulation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have mild to moderate peripheral artery disease (PAD) with an ankle-brachial index between 0.50 and 0.90.
- You have leg pain when walking (claudication) that goes away with rest.
- You are between 50 and 60 years old.
- You have stopped smoking for at least 3 months.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 25 and 29.9.

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 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 a new type of exercise that uses a blood-flow restriction cuff to see if it helps people with leg pain from blocked arteries. If you have stable claudication (leg pain when walking) and have been referred to cardiac rehab, you may qualify.
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 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.
This study compares how arm crank exercise affects the body in people with and without peripheral artery disease (PAD). It aims to understand how the body responds to this type of exercise, which may help guide future rehabilitation.
