In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a chronic atherosclerotic condition associated with impaired mobility, reduced quality of life, cardiovascular events, and risk of lower limb amputation. Although supervised exercise therapy (SET) is recommended for symptomatic PAD, access and adherence remain limited, particularly among patients with moderate-to-severe disease or chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI). The PILOT-PAD-CYCLE study is a prospective, single-center, pilot randomized controlled trial designed to evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a 12-week home-based exercise therapy (HET) program using a portable pedal exerciser in adults with moderate-to-severe PAD, including CLTI, with or without foot wounds. Twelve participants will be randomized 1:1 to either HET plus standard care or standard care alone. The intervention includes individualized ex
