Can a pulse test detect PAD?
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study is testing a simple pulse check to see if it can detect peripheral artery disease (PAD), a condition that narrows leg arteries. People with or without PAD can join to help see how well the test works.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study checks if a 6-minute stepper test is a good way to measure walking ability in people with peripheral artery disease. You will step up and down for 6 minutes to see how far you can go.
This study uses near-infrared light to learn more about peripheral artery disease (PAD) in adults. It aims to help doctors better understand how PAD affects the body.
This study tests a special camera (SnapshotNIR) that takes pictures of blood flow in your legs while you move them into different positions. It may help doctors better understand your circulation and diagnose peripheral artery disease (PAD) without needles or dye.
This study tests a new ultrasound technique that creates clearer images of blood vessels. It may help doctors better diagnose and understand peripheral artery disease, which affects blood flow to the legs.
This study uses ultrasound to measure blood flow in the legs of people with PAD symptoms and healthy volunteers. It aims to improve how doctors assess peripheral arterial disease without invasive tests.
This study looks at results of a minimally invasive procedure done inside blood vessels (endovascular therapy) for people with painful or worsening leg artery disease. It uses both past (retrospective) and future (prospective) patient information to better understand outcomes.
