What participants receive

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

  • aerobic+resistance exercise training programBehavioural

    Personalized exercise program based on the inclusion testing and patient screening will be provided to the patient. The program will consist of a gradual walking program as well as a gradual resistance training program using therabands.

What is being measured

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

  1. user satisfaction

    self-developed questionnaire based evaluation of user satisfaction

    Measured: 4 weeks

  2. walking distance

    pain free and maximal walking distance are recorded using the Gardner treadmill protocol.

    Measured: 4 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Physical activity

    Physical activity, defined total active energy expenditure (kcal) is obtained from objective measurement of physical activity during 7 consecutive days using the Sensewear device.

    Measured: 2 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing aerobic+resistance exercise training program in people with Peripheral Artery Disease and Intermittent Claudication, run by KU Leuven at 1 site in Belgium.

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 9 inclusion and 3 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 2 Aug 2019. 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 Belgium. 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?

user satisfaction (time frame: 4 weeks). 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 NCT04043546, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 2 Aug 2019.
