Near-infrared light study for better understanding of PAD
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 or older.
- You must be willing to sign a consent form.
- You must have a doctor-confirmed diagnosis of PAD.
- Your ankle-brachial index (a measure of blood flow) must be between 0.4 and 0.9.
- You must not have had a heart attack or unstable angina in the past year.
- You must be able to walk 10 feet and not have any MRI safety issues.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
This study uses a special light-based imaging technique to measure muscle oxygen levels. It compares endurance athletes, strength athletes, healthy people, and patients with peripheral artery disease to see how muscles use oxygen.
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 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 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.
This study uses a noninvasive light scanner to measure oxygen levels in leg tissues. It may help detect blocked leg arteries (peripheral artery disease) more easily.
