Neurostimulation for leg pain caused by poor circulation

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 study investigates the use of a neurostimulating device to alleviate symptoms of intermittent claudication, a condition characterized by muscle pain in the legs due to inadequate blood flow. The research focuses on patients who have stable symptoms and have opted against invasive revascularization procedures. By employing a non-invasive approach, the study aims to improve patients' walking ability and overall quality of life without the risks associated with surgery. The study is conducted at the Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, which is a prominent medical center in the UK.
