Far Red Light to Improve Functioning in PAD (NCT06165016)
Far Red Light to Improve Functioning in PAD: The LIGHT PAD Trial
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The LIGHT PAD Trial is a Phase II multi-centered randomized clinical trial to collect preliminary data to test whether daily far red light treatment of the lower extremities in people with PAD improves six-minute walk distance, lower extremity perfusion, and ischemia-related damage in gastrocnemius muscle at four-month follow-up, compared to a sham control. Participants will complete 10 minutes of twice daily home treatment with either far red light or a sham light for four months.
