Active clinical trials for "Peripheral Vascular Diseases"

The objective of this protocol is to test the effectiveness of a Jumpstart intervention on patient-centered outcomes for patients with chronic illness by ensuring that they receive care that is concordant with their goals over time, and across settings and providers. This study is particularly interested in understanding the effect of the intervention to improve quality of palliative care for patients with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) but will also include other common chronic, life-limiting illnesses. The specific aims are: To evaluate the efficacy of the Survey-based Patient/Clinician Jumpstart compared to the EHR based clinician Jumpstart and usual care for improving quality of care; the primary outcome is EHR documentation of a goals-of-care discussion from randomization through hospitalization or 30 days. Secondary outcomes include: a) intensity of care outcomes (e.g., ICU use, ICU and hospital length of stay, costs of care during the hospitalization, 7 and 30 day readmission); and b) patient- and family-reported outcomes assessed by surveys at 3 days and 4 weeks after randomization, including occurrence and quality of goals-of-care discussions in the hospital, goal-concordant care, psychological symptoms, and quality of life. To conduct a mixed-methods evaluation of the implementation of the intervention, guided by the RE-AIM framework for implementation science, incorporating quantitative evaluation of the intervention's reach and adoption, as well as qualitative analyses of interviews with participants, to explore barriers and facilitators to future implementation and dissemination.

This randomized controlled study aimed to determine the effect of foot reflexology on pain and ankle brachial index level in patients with peripheral artery disease

to compare the safety and efficacy of spinal anesthesia using Hyperbaric Prilocaine 2% versus Hyperbaric Bupivacaine 0.5% for patients with peripheral vascular disease and cardiac dysfunction.

The purpose of this research study is to investigate and determine the effects of static magnetic fields produced by a small magnet on peripheral pulses and skin blood flow.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of different treatment strategies on mitochondrial function and to correlate in-vitro results to findings from in-vivo measurements of mitochondrial function. The authors hypothesize that interventional revascularization and therefore the restoration of blood and oxygen supply is more relevant to mitochondrial function compared to the effect of exercise training.

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the effect of elevated plasma ceramides on peripheral vascular function. Subjects will consume a high fat meal consisting of long chain fatty acids (to increase plasma ceramides) or medium chain fatty acids (control). Subjects' vascular function will be assessed with laser Doppler flowmetry to measure their artery function and with the CytoCam device to assess their peripheral microvascular endothelial function.

This study will focus on people with claudication from peripheral arterial disease. The investigators are researching whether a multicomponent therapeutic can increase the production of Nitric Oxide in the blood and whether that leads to an improvement in pain free walking distance and overall physical activity.

The purpose of this research study is to examine the effect of various forms of exercise training on blood vessel function in healthy individuals as well as individuals with mental health disorders (posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and/or generalized anxiety disorder (GAD)).

The primary objective of this clinical investigation is to evaluate acute safety and efficacy of the S.M.A.R.T. RADIANZ™ Vascular Stent System, when used with the BRITE TIP RADIANZ™ Guiding Sheath and SABERX RADIANZ™ PTA Balloon Catheter, to deploy the S.M.A.R.T.™ Nitinol Stent, in the treatment of patients with obstructive iliac or femoropopliteal arterial disease via radial artery access.
