Leg Thermotherapy for Intermittent Claudication
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Low Heat Thermotherapy and High Heat Thermotherapy for Peripheral Artery Disease. Completed, enrolled 32 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
This study proposes to evaluate the potential of leg thermotherapy as a non-pharmacological intervention that could improve the mobility and exercise tolerance of patients with intermittent claudication. Thermotherapy is a simple, easily applicable therapy that enhances exercise tolerance in patients with chronic heart failure by improving peripheral vascular endothelial function.
