Exercise Training for Patients With Poor Leg Circulation
NCT00118560 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The purposes of this pilot project are to (a) determine changes in calf muscle blood flow and energy supply resulting from calf muscle exercise, and (b) to determine changes in these variables resulting from exercise training (walking and calf muscle exercise). This is a pilot study to prepare for a larger project in the future. Exercise and exercise training should increase blood flow and energy supply to the calf muscles.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT00118560
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT00118560 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 50 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is US Department of Veterans Affairs, which has 158 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 2 conditions, with Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Physical exercise is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT00118560 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include California. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll. Verify current status, eligibility criteria, and contact details directly at ClinicalTrials.gov, and discuss any participation decision with your own healthcare provider.
