About this study

Official title: Pain and Hemodynamics in Peripheral Arterial Disease: Response to Pulsed Electromagnetic Treatment in Elderly

patients with peripheral arterial disease are recommended to perform all exercise forms including elliptical type. electromagnetic treatment addition to exercise may increase benefits of this exercise

Read the detailed description

patients (40 elderly) with peripheral arterial disease who take their medications will be divided to older patients group that receive one hour elliptical exercise (n=20 patients, exercise will be applied 3 times per the week for eight week) and a group (n=20) that receive 3 sessions per weeks of 8-week electromagnetic one-hour therapy and one hour elliptical exercise (exercise will be applied 3 times per the week for eight week)

Being tested
electromagnetic pulsed therapy, elliptical exercise
Medical subject headings
Peripheral Arterial Disease

What is being measured

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

  1. ankle brachial index

    it is an vascular index used in assessment of peripheral arterial disease progression

    Measured: It will be measured after 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. posterior tibial artery diameter

    increase in vascular diameter of vessel denotes improved arterial disease

    Measured: It will be measured after 8 weeks

  2. claudication pain time

    the starting onset time of pain appearance during treadmill test

    Measured: It will be measured after 8 weeks

  3. claudication pain distance

    the distance at which onset of pain appeared during treadmill test

    Measured: It will be measured after 8 weeks

  4. Modified walking impairment questionnaire

    it assess degree of walking impairment in vascular disease patients

    Measured: It will be measured after 8 weeks

  5. six minute walking test (pain free distance)

    pain free distance walked during six minute walking test will be calculated

    Measured: It will be measured after 8 weeks

  6. six minute walking test (total walked distance)

    total distance walked during six minute walking test will be calculated

    Measured: it will be measured after 8 weeks

  7. intermittent claudication questionnaire

    it will assess health-related quality of life concerning the issue of intermittent claudication

    Measured: it will be measured after 8 weeks

  8. short form 36 health questionnaire

    it will assess general quality of life in the patients

    Measured: it will be measured after 8 weeks

  9. Short physical performance battery

    total score or points will be assessed from this physical performance test

    Measured: it will be measured after 8 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing electromagnetic pulsed therapy and elliptical exercise in people with Peripheral Arterial Disease, run by Ahram Canadian University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 2 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Feb 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 Egypt. 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 hagar El-Hadidy, lecturer (01007453552, hagarhadidy2016@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

ankle brachial index (time frame: It will be measured after 8 weeks). 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 9 Feb 2024.
