Home exercise for moderate to severe PAD
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether doing simple leg exercises at home with a small, portable pedal machine can help improve walking and blood flow in people with moderate-to-severe PAD. It's for people who cannot or prefer not to join a hospital-based exercise program.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have moderate-to-severe peripheral artery disease (PAD) based on specific blood pressure tests (like low ankle pressure or low toe pressure)
- You have turned down the chance to join an in-person, supervised exercise program
- You are able to use a portable pedal exerciser and can do a 6-minute walk test
- You have not had a lower-limb artery procedure in the last 30 days (or planned one soon)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new kind of exercise that is meant to be non-ischemic (not reduce blood flow) and pain-free, to see if it helps people with peripheral artery disease (PAD) who get leg pain when walking. You may be eligible if you have PAD confirmed by specific treadmill and blood-pressure measurements and meet the exercise and health safety requirements.
This study tests a home-based walking program delivered through telehealth for Veterans with peripheral artery disease (PAD). It aims to help you walk farther with less pain.
This study looks at how diet changes and an exercise program may improve walking and leg symptoms in people with peripheral artery disease (PAD). You may be eligible if you have a history of claudication (leg pain with walking) and tests or treatment history show PAD.
This study tests whether a phone-based program can help improve walking in Veterans with peripheral artery disease (PAD) by guiding regular exercise. It aims to reduce leg symptoms by making walking practice safer and easier to stick with.
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 using a wearable activity tracker (like a fitness band) can help people with peripheral artery disease walk better and farther without pain. It's designed for people newly diagnosed with leg pain when walking (claudication) and offers a simple way to track and improve your walking.
