About this study
Official title: Impact of Physical Activity as a Coadjuvant Treatment in the Healing of Venous Ulcers in Primary Health Care: Multicenter Randomized Clinical Trial - Active Legs Project
Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of a structured educational intervention in physical exercise "Active Legs" as an adjuvant treatment to improve the healing of chronic venous ulcers at 3 months of follow-up, compared with the usual practice in people treated in primary care. Secondary objectives: To evaluate if the intervention active legs as an adjuvant treatment produces better results than usual practice in: degree of healing, recurrence, complete healing at 6 months, pain and quality of life. Describe degree of adherence and satisfaction with the intervention. Design: Randomized, multicenter, pragmatic, open clinical trial of parallel groups with 6 months of follow-up. Setting: Primary Care Health Centers (Madrid). Subjects: Patients with venous ulcers, with treatment in the nursing consultation of the participating centers. Sample: 224 participants (112 in each group). Intervention: Both groups will receive the usual treatment of cleaning, debridement based on humid environment cure and multilayer compression therapy according to the recommendations of Community of Madrid. The intervention group will also receive the structured educational intervention of lower limbs physical exercise and daily walking patterns. Variables: Main: complete healing at 3 months follow-up. Secondary: Degree of healing; ulcer area; quality of life; pain, related to the healing process, prognosis and recurrences; Sociodemographic and related adherence and satisfaction. Data analysis: Main effectiveness: comparison of the incidence of ulcers with complete healing at 3 months of follow-up in both groups, time to complete healing (Kaplan-Meier and Log-rank test). Adjustment of prognostic factors (Cox regression).

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Project active legsBehavioural
Home program of exercises of lower extremities includes the performance of 4 exercises of lower extremities of progressive difficulty that must be carried out at home 5 days a week, twice a day and walking progressively until reaching the marked goal (150 min / week (30 minutes for 5 days a week)).
Usual careProcedure or surgery
Evaluation, cleaning, debridement, topical treatment (moist healing) and compressive therapy according to the recommendations for the treatment of chronic cutaneous ulcers of the Community of Madrid.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Control | Active comparator | Usual Care: that consists of healing the wound (assessment, cleaning, disinfection, debridement and topical treatment) and compression therapy multilayer usual practice, according to the recommendations for the treatment of cutaneous ulcers of the Region of Madrid. Receives: Procedure: Usual care |
| Intervention | Experimental | ACTIVE LEGS: The usual care plus experimental intervention. It is a structured educational intervention, directed by nurses and carried out in the health center consultations. The intervention "Active Legs" has been designed based on the available evidence. It incorporates a program of lower limb exercise at home and daily walking patterns.
Home program of lower limb exercises. The nurse will instruct the patients in the performance of 4 exercises of lower limbs of progressive difficulty that must be performed at home 5 days a week, twice a day Daily walking program. In addition, patients must ambulate progressively until reaching the marked goal (150 min / week (30 minutes for 5 days a week)) .
At the start of the study, the "Active Legs" diary will be provided, showing the patterns of the exercise and walking program graphically and a pedometer. Receives: Behavioral: Project active legs; Procedure: Usual care |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Complete healing at 6 months of follow-up
(yes/no) (complete and sustained epithelialisation for at least 2 weeks).
Measured: 6 months
Time elapsed between start of the study and complete healing of the wound
(in days)
Measured: 6 months
Secondary outcomes (29)
Degree of healing (Resvech 2.0)
The questionnaire consists of 6 dimensions with ascending scoring scales according to the severity of the dimension studied. It is divided into: depth (0 to 4), size (0 to 6), borders (0 to 4), wound bed (0 to 4), exudate (0 to 3) and signs and symptoms of infection (0 to 14). The total score ranges from 0 to 35.
Measured: Measured at the beginning (basal) and fortnightly up to 3 months and at 6 months.
Ulceral area
In cm2. Measured by digital photography. Measurement through digital photography and subsequent treatment of the image using the open source Java image processing program "The ImageJ ecosystem" and its subsequent calculation using the Visitrack device.
Measured: Measured at the beginning (basal) and fortnightly up to 3 months and at 6 months.
Health-related quality of life for patients with venous ulcers (CCVUQ-e)
It is a questionnaire that measures quality of life in patients with venous ulcers. In addition to a global synthetic quality of life score, it has 4 dimensions: Social interaction, Cosmesis (body image), Emotional state and Domestic activities. Both the general score and the dimensions have a score that ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 is the best quality of life and 100 the worst quality of life.
Measured: Measured at the beginning (baseline), in the middle (3 months) and at the end of the study (6 months).
Perceived pain: visual analogical scale of the McGill questionnaire
The visual analogical scale of the McGill questionnaire will be used. A greater than 20mm in the Visual Analog Scale of pain scale will be considered a clinically significant change.
It goes from "no pain" 0 to "unbearable pain" 10, the patient will mark that point on the line that best reflects the pain he suffers.
Measured: Measured at the beginning (baseline), in the middle (3 months) and at the end of the study (6 months).

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Project active legs in people with Varicose Ulcer, run by Gerencia de Atención Primaria, Madrid at 1 site in Spain.
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 9 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 20 Mar 2024. 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 Spain. 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?
Complete healing at 6 months of follow-up (time frame: 6 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT04039789, which also lists 2 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 20 Mar 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
