Exercise therapy for people with leg pain from poor circulation in Denmark

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This project aims to implement a supervised exercise therapy program combined with smoking cessation for adults suffering from intermittent claudication in Region Zealand, Denmark. Participants will engage in treadmill walking sessions three times a week for 12 weeks, with a focus on monitoring the implementation process and outcomes. The study will assess the effectiveness of the intervention through quality monitoring and feedback collection over a six-month follow-up period after the exercise therapy is completed.

Why it matters

Who can join: the full rules

Inclusion criteria:

* Relevant symptoms of intermittent claudication; leg pain when walking due to arteriosclerosis and relieve of symptoms during rest.
* Distal blood pressure with an ankle-brachial index (ABI) \> 50 mmHg for non-diabetics or toe brachial index (TBI) \> 40 mmHg for diabetics.

Exclusion criteria:

• Evaluated by a vascular surgeon: patients with contraindications e.g. medical issues or comorbidity that enables a participation in SET are not referred.
