Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Electrical StimulationExperimentalThe training with electrostimulation will be performed with the following intensity: Medium frequency current: 2.500Hz Modulation frequency: up to 50Hz Time on / off: 1: 2 Average session time 10 to 15 min Being applied in the same muscle groups that will be trained in the group that will perform strength training.
Receives: Other: Electrical Stimulation
Strength trainingExperimentalThere will be 10 exercises: upper limbs: Supine with dumbbells; High pulley pull; Alternating thread with dumbbells; Triceps dumbbell test; Lower limbs: knee extensor, squatting with body weight, plantar flexion, knee flexion and plantar dorsiflexion. The session time will be from 45 minutes to one hour 2 times weekly totaling at the end of the 12 weeks, 24 strength training sessions.
Receives: Other: Strength training

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Electrical Stimulation and Strength training in people with Peripheral Arterial Disease, run by Hospital de Clinicas de Porto Alegre at 1 site in Brazil.

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 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Mar 2017. 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 Brazil. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Márcio Garcia, MD (05551597634, mgmarciogarcia@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

cardiopulmonary exercise test (time frame: 13 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03092336, which also lists 53 linked publications.

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 27 Mar 2017.
