This study tests if a gentle foot massage after a heart catheterization (done through the groin) can reduce back pain and improve blood pressure, heart rate, and breathing. It may help you feel more comfortable during recovery.
This study tests whether the position you lie in after a heart catheterization through the groin can reduce pain, bleeding, and bruising. If you are scheduled for this procedure and are in generally good health, this trial may help find the most comfortable and safe way to recover.
This trial uses a special CT scan (coronary CTA with HeartFlow analysis) to look for hidden blockages in the heart arteries of people who recently had a leg artery procedure. It may help detect heart problems early so they can be treated.
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.
This trial tests whether early movement and exercise after a heart procedure (percutaneous coronary intervention, or PCI) can help reduce back pain. If you recently had a PCI and are stable, you may be able to join.
This study tests a treatment called ischemic preconditioning, which uses a blood pressure cuff to temporarily restrict blood flow to your leg. It may help reduce pain from osteoarthritis in the knee or chronic back pain.
