About this study

Official title: Focus Sur l'Analyse de la récupération en oxymétries transcutanées (French Language)

Analysis of localizations for symptoms and ischemia on treadmill and of the recovery profiles of patients that have had an exercise oximetry

Read the detailed description

Patients referred for exercise oximetry have buttocks thighs and calves recording during exercise and in the recovery period for a minimum of 10 minutes.

For each limb probe the decrease from rest of oxygen pressure (DROP) index is calculated as a subtraction of chest changes from limb changes throughout rest, exercise and recovery. DROP was measured as a routine on buttocks, thighs and calves and a minimal DROP lower than minus 15 mmHg considered indicative of the presence of regional blood flow impairment (ischemia) in the considered area.

Recordings and patients characteristics are recorded on a institutionally validated database.

A comparison will be performed of symptoms by history to symptoms reported on treadmill and hemodynamic results attained through DROP values.

Re-analysis of the recordings after ethical approval will be performed in an aim at estimating the duration of 50% and 90% recovery of DROP at the different levels (buttocks tigh and calves) to account for hemodynamic impairmenty not only at the calf (calves) level.

What participants receive

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

  • Transcutaneous oxygen pressure measurement during the treadmill testDiagnostic test

    Calculation of the decrease from rest of oxygen pressure (DROP) throughout the period of rest exercise and recovery.

    The DROP is calculated as chanegs on each limb probe minus changes on a chest reference probe from rest.

    Analysis of the recovery period of the recordings will be done to seach for recovery 50% and 90% from the minimal DROP observed Evaluation of calf and non calf pain during the tests. Evaluation of calf and non calf (buttock or thigh) ischemia during the tests. Ischemia being defined as a monimal DROP lower than minus 15 mmHg.

Exercise oximetryPatients complaining claudication and referred for exercise diagnostic oximetry. Exercise oximetry are performed on treadmill (3.2km/h, 10% slope)
Receives: Diagnostic Test: Transcutaneous oxygen pressure measurement during the treadmill test

What is being measured

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

  1. Transcutanesous oximetry DROP index 50% recovery time

    Time for the DROP index to reach 50% of its minimal value from the end of walking

    Measured: Maximum 30 minutes (duration of the recovery phase)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Transcutanesous oximetry DROP index 90% recovery time

    Time for the DROP index to reach 90% of its minimal value from the end of walking

    Measured: Maximum 30 minutes (duration of the recovery phase)

  2. Concordance of pain and ischemia during the treadmill test

    Observation of calf and non calf pain and calf and non-calf ischemia in patients reporting calf pain by history. Ischemia being defined as a minimal DROP value lower than minus 15 mmHg.

    Analysis of the concordance of localizations of pain and ischemia.

    Measured: Maximum 60 minutes (duration of each test)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Intermittent Claudication, run by University Hospital, Angers at 1 site 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 1 inclusion and 1 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 6 May 2020. 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 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?

Transcutanesous oximetry DROP index 50% recovery time (time frame: Maximum 30 minutes (duration of the recovery phase)). 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 6 May 2020.
