Automatic ankle blood pressure test for leg artery disease
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a new automated way to measure the blood pressure in your ankles, which helps doctors check for narrowed leg arteries. It is a pilot study, meaning it looks at whether this automatic method works well and is comfortable, which could make testing easier in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 or older.
- You can be in one of these groups: at risk but without symptoms, have leg pain when walking (claudication), have severe limb ischemia (like rest pain or sores), or had leg bypass surgery and are in follow-up.
- You must be able to understand English and follow the test instructions.
- You cannot have had leg surgery in the past 4 weeks.
- You cannot have ulcers, casts, or bandages that prevent pressure on your feet or legs.

This study tests a special catheter to open blocked arteries in the thigh, knee, or lower leg. It may help improve blood flow and reduce symptoms like leg pain or wounds.
This study looks at a protein on immune cells in the blood of people with advanced peripheral artery disease (narrowed leg arteries). It is a first step toward testing a new class of drugs (GLP-1 receptor agonists) to help people with severe leg circulation problems.
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 trial tests a new imaging device that measures oxygen levels in foot tissue to help evaluate peripheral artery disease (PAD). It could help doctors better assess blood flow problems without invasive tests.
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 magnetic sensor that measures blood flow in your arteries, comparing it to the standard method. It takes place in the heart-lung unit at Montpellier University Hospital, and aims to see if the sensor is accurate for people with or without leg artery disease.
