Trial summary

Elastic compression stockings are recommended in the treatment venous insufficiency. Degressive compressive stockings have been used for many decades and are characterized by a high pressure applied at the ankle and a decreasing pressure from the ankle to the knee. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Single Center Prospective Study Evaluating the Safety of Progressive Compressive Stockings for the Treatment of Venous Insufficiency in Patients With Peripheral Arterial Disease

Elastic compression stockings are recommended in the treatment venous insufficiency. Degressive compressive stockings have been used for many decades and are characterized by a high pressure applied at the ankle and a decreasing pressure from the ankle to the knee. Progressive compressive stockings were developed to have a maximal pressure at the calf. This concept is based on the calf pump role in the venous return. Patients with PAD (Peripheral Arterial Disease) often suffer from venous insufficiency. But elastic compression stockings are strictly contraindicated for patients with PAD because highest pressures on ankle could slow down the superficial microcirculation.

On patients with PAD and venous insufficiency, the progressive compressive stockings could be well indicated. Strongest pressure at the calf should increase the pump effect and the muscle mechanical efficiency during the walk without deleterious effect.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. the absence of worsening of PAD after 15 days of progressive compressive stockings ware

    The primary endpoint is a safety one: the absence of worsening of PAD after 15 days of progressive compressive stockings ware. A worsening is defined as:

    • Worsening of the systolic ankle pressure index (SPI) defined by a relative reduction of the SPI higher than 15% compared to the index value at inclusion,
    • Worsening of the toe-brachial index (TBI) defined by a relative reduction of TBI higher than 15% compared to the index value at inclusion,
    • Relative reduction of the number of active and repetitive ankle extensions in upright position higher than 25% compared to the index value at inclusion.

    If at least one of these criteria is met, the PAD will be considered as worsening. If none of these criteria is met, the patient will be considered as no worsening.

    Measured: Day 15

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. The evolution of the systolic ankle pressure index (SPI) defined by a relative reduction of the SPI higher than 15% compared to the index value at inclusion,

    Measured: Day 15

  2. The evolution of the toe-brachial index (TBI) defined by a relative reduction of TBI higher than 15% compared to the index value at inclusion,

    Measured: Day 15

  3. The relative reduction of the number of active and repetitive ankle extensions in upright position higher than 25% compared to the index value at inclusion.

    Measured: Day 15

  4. Change of the walking distance on treadmill compared to the walking distance at inclusion

    Measured: Day 15

  5. Peripheral artery disease symptoms: muscle pain after physical effort, aches, cooling sensation, and paresthesia.

    Measured: Day 15

  6. Venous insufficiency symptoms

    Measured: Day 15

  7. Leg heaviness and tiredness leg

    Measured: Day 15

  8. Pain leg evaluated by visual analogic scale

    Measured: Day 15

  9. Absence of trophic disorder (new wound or ulcer)

    Measured: Day 15

  10. Progressive compressive stockings compliance

    Progressive compressive stockings compliance will be evaluated by the number of patients stopping wearing the compression before day 15 and reasons for stopping. Patient feeling will also be recorded as free text.

    Measured: Day 15

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing contention socks in people with Peripheral Arterial Disease and Venous Insufficiency, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Saint Etienne at 2 sites in France.

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 4 inclusion and 11 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 10 Mar 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in France. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

the absence of worsening of PAD after 15 days of progressive compressive stockings ware (time frame: Day 15). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 10 Mar 2016.
