Chronic wounds and blood circulation checkup
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.

This study tests a special exercise training approach to help small blood vessels work better and improve resilience in frail older adults. If you join, you’ll do training that may involve temporary blood-flow restriction, so safety rules are important.
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 tests a new way to restore blood flow in the lower leg for people with chronic limb-threatening ischemia, a serious condition where leg wounds won't heal due to poor circulation. If it works, this treatment could help save the leg and avoid amputation.
This study looks at how exercise combined with special tape on the skin affects blood flow in the legs of healthy young adults. It may help show if this combination improves circulation.
This study checks how walking exercise affects blood flow in your legs and your daily functioning. It may help improve walking ability and quality of life for people at risk of or with peripheral arterial disease.
This study follows adults with very poor blood flow to the foot or leg (with wounds or severe pain) who are having a revascularization procedure to improve circulation. It may help doctors understand outcomes after treatment and improve care for people with critical limb ischemia.
