Red Light Treatment in Peripheral Artery Disease (NCT03203239)
Vasodilatory Effects of Light on Peripheral Artery Disease
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Subjects with a known diagnosis of peripheral artery disease as measured by an abnormal ankle brachial index (\<.9 or \>1.1) will undergo a single 5 min exposure of 670 nm light, 1 cm above the gastrocnemius muscle. Blood flow will be measured by infusion of ultrasound contrast and subsequent acquisition of ultrasound images. 2 blood samples will be collected for measurement of nitric oxide metabolites.
