BEHAVIOR CHANGE INTERVENTION AFTER ENDOVASCULAR REVASCULARIZATION IN PAD

December 27, 2025 updated by: Ayşe Adıgüzel Bayar, Muğla Sıtkı Koçman University

EFFECTIVENESS OF A BEHAVIOR CHANGE INTERVENTION AIMED AT INCREASING PHYSICAL ACTIVITY IN PATIENTS WITH PERIPHERAL ARTERY DISEASE UNDERGOING ENDOVASCULAR REVASCULARIZATION

The study titled "Investigation of the Effect of a Behavior Change-Based Physical Activity Program in Patients with Peripheral Artery Disease Who Have Undergone Endovascular Revascularization" will be conducted by Specialist Physiotherapist Ayşe ADIGÜZEL BAYAR. The study is designed to investigate the effects of a structured physical activity program planned using behavior change techniques after endovascular revascularization on walking capacity, physical function, physical activity level and quality of life in patients with peripheral artery disease.

  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Behavior Change Intervention Group
Participants in this arm will receive a structured behavior change-based physical activity intervention following endovascular revascularization.
The program will include behavior change techniques such as goal setting, self-monitoring, action planning, motivational support, and education to promote physical activity and reduce sedentary time.
Active Comparator: Supervised Exercise Group
Participants in this arm will receive a supervised exercise program following endovascular revascularization, without a structured behavior change component.
This intervention integrates behavior change techniques with supervised exercise to enhance physical activity adherence, walking capacity, physical function, and quality of life.
Experimental: Combined Intervention Group
Participants in this arm will receive a combined intervention including both a behavior change-based.
The supervised exercise program will consist of structured exercise sessions aimed at improving walking capacity and physical function.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in self-reported physical activity level (IPAQ total score)
Time Frame: Baseline, 6 weeks, 12 weeks
Self-reported physical activity level will be assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). The primary outcome is the change in total physical activity level, expressed as MET-minutes per week, from baseline.
Baseline, 6 weeks, 12 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in walking capacity (6-Minute Walk Test distance)
Time Frame: Baseline, 6 weeks, 12 weeks
Walking capacity will be assessed using the 6-Minute Walk Test. The primary endpoint is the change in 6MWT distance (meters) from baseline.
Baseline, 6 weeks, 12 weeks
Change in physical function (SPPB total score)
Time Frame: Baseline, 6 weeks, 12 weeks
Physical function will be evaluated using the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB). The outcome is the change in SPPB total score from baseline.
Baseline, 6 weeks, 12 weeks
Change in walking impairment (WIQ total score)
Time Frame: Baseline, 6 weeks, 12 weeks
Walking impairment will be evaluated using the Walking Impairment Questionnaire (WIQ). The outcome is change in WIQ total score from baseline.
Baseline, 6 weeks, 12 weeks
Change in quality of life (SF-12 PCS and MCS)
Time Frame: Baseline, 6 weeks, 12 weeks
Quality of life will be assessed using the 12-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12). Outcomes include changes in Physical Component Summary (PCS) and Mental Component Summary (MCS) scores.
Baseline, 6 weeks, 12 weeks

IPD Plan Description

Individual participant data will not be shared due to ethical and privacy considerations, as well as the absence of explicit participant consent for data sharing. The study involves a relatively small sample size, which may increase the risk of participant re-identification. Data will be reported only in aggregate form in scientific publications.
