MitoQ for Peripheral Arterial Disease
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
In our research, we are delving into whether taking MitoQ for six months can improve the symptoms and function of people diagnosed with peripheral artery disease, especially those who suffer from leg pain while walking, known as intermittent claudication. We will be checking if MitoQ helps people with claudication walk better, be more active every day, feel better about their lives, and if it enhances the health of their leg muscles.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications, but it requires that your blood pressure, lipid, and diabetes treatments remain stable for 6 weeks before joining.
Is MitoQ safe for human use?
How does the drug MitoQ differ from other treatments for peripheral arterial disease?
