Telehealth Exercise Training in Peripheral Arterial Disease (TEXTPAD) study: A pilot randomised controlled trial in socioeconomically disadvantaged populations
This digitally delivered, home-based telehealth intervention was feasible for PAD patients in socioeconomically disadvantaged areas. Exploratory findings suggest potential benefits in subjective function capacity and health behaviours; however, the study was not powered to evaluate effectiveness, and findings should be interpreted with caution. These data support the suitability of outcome measures and provide essential insights for designing a fully powered definitive trial to evaluate long-term clinical outcomes.
