Many older people with arterial disease of the legs also have problems with their thinking and memory. Blood flow in the brain may be altered in these people and may be a cause for memory and thinking problems.\n\nAim:\n\nThe aim of this project is to investigate whether people with arterial disease of the legs have altered blood flow in the brain causing problems with memory and thinking.\n\nResearch plan:\n\nTwenty people with arterial disease of the legs causing pain while walking and twenty healthy people will have a series of non-invasive assessments. Arterial disease in the legs will be measured using ankle blood pressures before and after walking. Blood flow in the brain will be measured using ultrasound whilst performing memory and thinking tests. Results will be compared between the people with arterial disease in the legs and the healthy people to see if there are any differences in blood flow to the brain and memory and thinking.\n\nBenefits to society:\n\nThis project will help determine if there is a link between arterial disease of the legs and memory and thinking problems caused by altered blood flow in the brain. It will enable future research in people with cognitive impairment caused by altered blood supply to the brain and to prevent confusion and further memory and thinking problems in people undergoing surgery for arterial disease of the legs.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '50 Years', 'samplingMethod': 'NON_PROBABILITY_SAMPLE', 'studyPopulation': 'A cohort of individuals with symptomatic peripheral arterial disease (intermittent claudication) with an age- and sex-matched healthy control cohort.', 'eligibilityCriteria': "Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Capacity to provide Informed volunteer/patient consent\n* Male or female, aged ≥50 years of age\n* Able (in the Investigator's opinion) and willing to comply with all study requirements\n* Good understanding of written and verbal English\n\nPeripheral arterial disease specific inclusion criteria:\n\n* Clinical diagnosis of symptomatic PAD (intermittent claudication) confirmed by positive haemodynamic tests (ABPI \\<0.90 in the symptomatic leg; and/or,\n* Post-exercise \\[walk test\\] reduction in ABPI of \\>20% or post-exercise \\[walk test\\] reduction in absolute ankle pressure of \\>30mmHg)\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Male or Female, aged under 50 years\n* Pregnant\n* Unable (in the Investigator's opinion) or unwilling to comply with any study requirements\n* Major co-morbidity likely to affect cerebral autoregulation; severe respiratory disease, unilateral carotid artery stenosis (≥50%), atrial fibrillation, severe cardiac failure (left ventricular ejection fraction \\<20%), or extreme frailty\n* History of significant diagnosed psychiatric disorder, learning disability (e.g. dyslexia) or neurological disorder (head injury, epilepsy, stroke and/or transient ischaemic attack \\[TIA\\])\n* Diagnosis of dementia\n* Uncorrected hearing impairment and/or significant visual impairment\n\nHealthy control specific exclusion criteria\n\n* Symptoms of intermittent claudication; and/or,\n* Clinical diagnosis or history of PAD"}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT06369402', 'acronym': 'CInCH PAD', 'briefTitle': 'Cognitive Impairment and Cerebral Haemodynamics in Individuals With Symptomatic Peripheral Arterial Disease', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'University of Leicester'}, 'officialTitle': 'Cognitive Impairment and Cerebral Haemodynamics in Individuals With Symptomatic Peripheral Arterial Disease', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': '0963'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'label': 'Individuals with symptomatic peripheral arterial disease', 'description': 'Individuals with intermittent claudication caused by confirmed peripheral arterial disease defined as a resting ankle-brachial pressure index of \\<0.9 and/or a post-exercise reduction in either ankle-brachial pressure index of \\>20% or absolute ankle pressure of \\>30mmHg.', 'interventionNames': ['Diagnostic Test: Cerebral haemodynamic testing using transcranial Doppler', 'Diagnostic Test: Ankle-brachial pressure index', 'Diagnostic Test: Six-minute walk test']}, {'label': 'Healthy controls', 'description': 'Age- and sex-matched cohort of individuals without peripheral arterial disease.', 'interventionNames': ['Diagnostic Test: Cerebral haemodynamic testing using transcranial Doppler', 'Diagnostic Test: Ankle-brachial pressure index', 'Diagnostic Test: Six-minute walk test']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Cerebral haemodynamic testing using transcranial Doppler', 'type': 'DIAGNOSTIC_TEST', 'description': 'Measurement of cerebral haemodynamics using transcranial Doppler to insonate the middle cerebral arteries bilaterally testing neurovascular coupling with selected domains from the Addenbrooks cognitive examination III and the digit span forward and backwards.', 'armGroupLabels': ['Healthy controls', 'Individuals with symptomatic peripheral arterial disease']}, {'name': 'Ankle-brachial pressure index', 'type': 'DIAGNOSTIC_TEST', 'description': 'Ratio of ankle to brachial blood pressure measured using handheld Doppler at rest and after exercise (six-minute walk test).', 'armGroupLabels': ['Healthy controls', 'Individuals with symptomatic peripheral arterial disease']}, {'name': 'Six-minute walk test', 'type': 'DIAGNOSTIC_TEST', 'description': 'Supervised brisk walk for six minutes.
