Exercise program for leg pain from peripheral artery disease
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study is testing a special exercise and lifestyle program (called cardiac rehabilitation) for people with peripheral artery disease. The program may help improve your walking ability and reduce leg pain, so you can do daily activities more easily.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a diagnosis of peripheral artery disease with leg pain that comes on when you walk and goes away when you rest.
- You are between 50 and 70 years old.
- You can walk by yourself without using a cane, walker, or another person's help.
- You are stable enough from a medical standpoint to take part in an exercise program.
- You have not had leg surgery to improve blood flow in the last 6 months, and you don't have constant leg or foot pain at rest.

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 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 program of exercise before and after a stent procedure for people with peripheral artery disease who have leg pain while walking. The goal is to see if this helps improve walking ability and recovery.
This study tests whether heat therapy (like warm baths or heat packs) can improve blood flow and walking ability in people with peripheral artery disease (PAD). If you have leg pain when walking due to PAD, this treatment might help you walk further with less discomfort.
