Physical Activity Daily - An Internet-Based Walking Program for Patients With Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD)

20 de dezembro de 2021 atualizado por: Elizabeth Anne Jackson, University of Alabama at Birmingham
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a significant vascular condition affecting millions of adults. Exercise such as walking is highly effective for reducing PAD symptoms such as claudication (pain with walking) and improving physical function. The trial examines the efficacy of a internet-delivered walking program for patients with PAD. Comparator groups including telephone counselling, the combination of internet-delivered walking program + telephone counseling, or usual care. The primary outcome of interest is maximal walking distance.

Visão geral do estudo

Descrição detalhada

With the aging of the American population, the numbers of adults with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) will increase significantly over the next several decades. Patients with PAD are at increased risk for morbidity and mortality including both cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. While regular physical activity reduces risk for vascular events and is recommended for treatment of PAD patients, few patients meet recommended goals. Exercise programs which increase long-term adherence to walking can be an important contribution to PAD treatment. Our Internet-based intervention, builds on a walking enhancement program developed by members of our team and is shown to improve adherence among patients with vascular disease such as coronary artery disease (CAD). Using a randomized, controlled trial study design, we propose to test an automated Internet-based walking program to improve long-term adherence to walking while increasing walking distance, and health-related quality of life, among patients with PAD. Participants will be randomized to 1 of four study groups: 1) weekly telephone counseling, 2) an Internet-based walking program, 3) a combination of telephone counseling and Internet-based walking program, or 4) a usual care group. The Internet-based walking program has been shown to increase both adherence to walking and overall walking duration in populations with chronic complex conditions such as CAD and diabetes. There is a strong need to develop interventions, easily generalizable to a real-world population, to improve the reach of lifestyle interventions which result in improved physical function and adherence to regular exercise among complex medical patients. Patients such as those with PAD (a CAD risk equivalent) stand to benefit the most from such programs.

O que o estudo está medindo?

Medidas de resultados primários

Medida de resultado
Descrição da medida
Prazo
Change in maximal walking distance
Prazo: Baseline to 4 months
measured using the Gardner-Skinner protocol treadmill test, noting time to moderate claudication
Baseline to 4 months
Change in PAD-specific health-related quality of life
Prazo: Baseline to 4 months
measured using disease specific Peripheral Artery Questionnaire (PAQ) which uses scale scores of 0 to 100, with high numbers indicating better outcomes.
Baseline to 4 months
Change in general health-related quality of life
Prazo: Baseline to 4 months
measured using the EuroQol 5 Dimension Scale (EQ-5D) which is comprised of a descriptive system questionnaire containing 5 questions and a visual analogue scale ranging from 0 to 100 with 0 being worse health state imaginable and 100 being best health state imaginable. The descriptive system questionnaire is scored by assigning a 1-digit number to the participant's answer choice for each of the 5 questions, then combining each into a 5-digit number indicating their health state.
Baseline to 4 months
Change in global health-related quality of life
Prazo: Baseline to 4 months
measured using the Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Questionnaire that includes questions from physical, mental, and social health domains and is scored using a T-score metric. A higher score equals more of a concept being measured which can indicate better or worse outcomes depending on the concept being measured.
