A Non-significant Risk Clinical Study: Changes in Perfusion After Therapeutic Ultrasound in Patients With PAD
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Therapeutic ultrasound (TUS): As described elsewhere, a sleeve is wrapped around the subject's targeted calf such that the inner lining with attached transducers are positioned around the calf muscle, with a gel-skin interface. The ultrasound energy is transmitted from these transducers to the deeper layers of the muscle.
Study summary
All evaluable subjects will receive VibratoSleeve therapeutic ultrasound (TUS) treatments. The device will be programmed to deliver TUS at a pre-determined level. Three different acoustic intensity levels will be tested during the first three treatment visits (one at each visit day). The most effective treatment that is comfortable to a subject will be prescribed for the remaining treatment sessions. Treatment time will be 90 minutes per session, one session per day. Thirty treatment sessions will be performed over a 45-day period.
Subjects will appear for on-site follow-up visits at 1-, 3-, and 6-months following subject's last (30th) treatment session.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Changes in foot perfusion — Through study completion, an average of 6 months
(2) Mean difference between pre-treatment (baseline) and post-treatment, and at the 1-, 3-, and 6-months post-treatment follow up visits, using Clarifi Imaging System (Modulim), which uses spatial frequency domain imaging (SFDI), to measure tissue oxygen saturation (StO2) and tissue hemoglobin (Hb) in the dermal microcirculation (HbT1) and macrocirculation (HbT2) to assess lower extremity blood supply.
