About this study
Official title: To Evaluate the Increase of Local Circulation in the Leg Using the Flowaid Device
This is an open label pilot study to evaluate the efficacy and the safety of the Flowaid device in increasing local circulation in the legs.
15 patients with a diagnosis of Peripheral Vascular Disease will be enrolled in this study. They will recieve tratment with the Flowaid device and monitored continuously by means of Laser Doppler Flowmetry as well as by tcPO2 and Digital Thermography. Subjective data will also be collected.
Read the detailed description
This is a 15 patient pilot study to evaluate efficacy and safety of use of the Flowaid device in increasing local circulation in the legs of patients with Peripheral Vascular Disease. Patients will be evaluated and scored prior to treatment and then treated with the Flowaid device for a period of two hours. During the treatment period patients will be continuously monitored by digital thermograph as well as by tcPO2 and Laser Doppler Flowmetry. Patients will also be monitored for a brief period immediately after cessation of treatment to evaluate continued effect of the device on local circulation in the leg.
The study will be individually controlled with each patients treated leg evaluated against the contralateral non- treated leg.
Subjective data including distance able to walk, pain and vibratory sensation threshold will also be collected and evaluated appropriately.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing External Electric Muscle Stimulation in people with Peripheral Vascular Disease, run by Rosenblum, Jonathan I., DPM at 1 site in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Mar 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 4 Mar 2008.
