HOPE
Rehabilitation for Individuals with Chronic Limb-threatening Ischemia Post Revascularisation (HOPE)
- Hospital – Speciality: Manchester Royal infirmary, Vascular Surgery
- Study type: Interventional
- Funder: National Institute for Health and Care Research
Summary
The prevalence of Chronic Life-Threatening Ischaemia (CLTI) is growing along with its associated health and social care burden. No studies have examined the effect of a rehabilitation programme on patients who undergo revascularisation for CLTI; therefore, these individuals are currently not offered a comprehensive rehabilitation programme as part of their treatment. This is a major missed opportunity in terms of improving CLTI care and outcomes, as access to rehabilitation has been shown to improve physical and social aspects of QoL in those with intermittent claudication, the lesser form of the disease.
The study aims to test the feasibility of a rehabilitation intervention, that has been co-created for individuals with CLTI post-revascularisation surgery. The study will involve participants taking part in a 12-week exercise and education programme. The data collected from the study will include measures of recruitment and adherence, alongside assessments of physical function and quality of life.
Participant group
Patient diagnosed with CLTI that underwent open, endovascular, infra-inguinal and/or hybrid surgery between 1-3 months ago.
Participant approach
Participants will be identified and approached by Consultant Vascular Surgeons or Specialist Nurse Practitioners pre- or post-revascularisation surgery.
