Trial summary

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a highly prevalent medical condition. Patients with PAD are usually diagnosed on the basis of the ankle-brachial index. The ankle-brachial index is the ratio of ankle pressure to arm pressure based on measurement of blood pressures in the arms and legs using a Doppler device. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Pilot Study to Determine the Optimal Oscillometric-Based Technique for Measurement of Ankle Blood Pressures for the Ankle-brachial Index

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a highly prevalent medical condition. Patients with PAD are usually diagnosed on the basis of the ankle-brachial index. The ankle-brachial index is the ratio of ankle pressure to arm pressure based on measurement of blood pressures in the arms and legs using a Doppler device. The need for dedicated equipment and trained personnel, along with the time required to perform the test, have been identified as barriers to widespread implementation of ankle-brachial index screening. The use of automated oscillometric devices for blood pressure measurement and determination of the ankle-brachial index has been applied with variable success. It will be beneficial to investigate a reliable oscillometric-based procedure that can accurately measure leg pressures for the ankle-brachial index across the entire spectrum of PAD severity.

The purpose of this study is to determine the optimal oscillometric-based technique for estimation of Doppler-derived systolic arm and ankle blood pressures for calculation of the ankle-brachial index in patients with and without PAD.

Subjects with suspected arterial disease in the non-invasive lab will be enrolled. Arm, ankle, and toe pressure measurements will be made in the supine position using Doppler, oscillometric methods, and photoplethysmographic sensor. Arm and ankle pressures from a subset of subjects will be obtained in both seated and supine positions. The ankle-brachial index and toe-brachial index will be calculated.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • BLOOD PRESSURE MEASURMENTProcedure or surgery

    Blood pressures using Doppler and oscillometric methods will be obtained at each limb and on one toe from each foot.

  • BLOOD PRESSURE MEASUREMENTProcedure or surgery

    Blood pressure measurements will be taken at each limb (arm and ankle) with Doppler and oscillometric based methods.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Peripheral Arterial Disease, run by Summit Doppler Systems, Inc. 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 3 inclusion and 2 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 13 Nov 2009. 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.

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 13 Nov 2009.
