SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: baseline and week 16

Population: data collected for participants who return for their visits.

Measure of treatment effect using pulse volume recordings of the ankle, great toe and brachial artery to calculate the ankle brachial index (ABI) and toe brachial index (TBI) at week 16 compared to baseline. ABI and TBI are taken in order to determine the existence and severity of peripheral arterial disease. ABI - The normal range for the ankle-brachial index is between 0.90 and 1.30. ABI \<0.90 is abnormal: 0.41 to 0.90 indicates mild to moderate peripheral artery disease; 0.40 and lower indicates severe disease. The lower the index, the higher the chances of leg pain while exercising or limb-threatening low blood flow. TBI ≥ 0.7 is normal, TBI \< 0.7 is abnormal.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: baseline and week 16

Population: data collected for participants who return for their visits.

Measure of treatment effect using pulse volume recordings of the ankle, great toe and brachial artery to calculate the ankle brachial index and toe pressures composite score at week 16 from baseline. Composite score obtained by adding all the measurements and averaged. The score was tested by the Laser Doppler Flowmetry (LDF). Minimum score is 0 which mean no blood flow detected and there is no maximum value of the score, and higher score mean better blood flow.
