Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>The main endpoint of this pilot study is the occurrence of itching,<br /><br>irritation/pain, or wounds at the site of the patch, and the feasibility of<br /><br>COMET measurements to determine tissue perfusion in the lower extremity in<br /><br>patients with moderate to severe claudication (Rutherford class 4-6) assessed<br /><br>by display of the measurements on the COMET monitor with sufficient signal<br /><br>quality. The verbal rating scale (VRS)31 will be used to assess itching. It is<br /><br>a 5-point Likert scale in which patients are asked to categorize their pruritus<br /><br>(0= *no itch,* 1= *weak itch,* 2= *moderate itch,* 3= *severe itch*, 4= *very<br /><br>severe itch*). Irritation, pain, and wounds will be assessed visually and via<br /><br>standardised questionnaires.</p><br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>• Standardized and optimal measurement protocol in terms of location and time<br /><br>in patients with moderate to severe claudication (Rutherford class 4-6) through<br /><br>comparing signal quality at different locations and time points<br /><br>• COMET measurements in correlation with tcPO2 and ABI<br /><br>• Signal quality in the same place of the Alacare patch after previous use<br /><br>• Effect of skin temperature on COMET measurements</p><br>
