Geriatric Hospital, Padua, Italy
Geriatric Hospital, Padua, Italy The aim of this trial was to assess the activity of indobufen compared with placebo in peripheral occlusive arterial disease of the lower limbs of atheroscle rotic or diabetic origin. Fifty-two outpatients were admitted to the randomized, double-blind study and were given either an indobufen 200-mg tablet (28 sub jects) or placebo (24) for six months. Painfree walking distance on a treadmill at a constant speed (4 km/h) and slope (10°) was assessed before and after three and six months' treatment. The painfree walking distance before treatment with indobufen or placebo averaged 153 ± 23.02 (mean ± SE) and 199 ± 30.58 (mean ± SE) meters respectively. After six months' treatment with active drug or placebo, this parameter reached 610 ± 115.36 (p < 0.01) and 243 ± 32.49 (p > 0.05) meters respec tively. The difference between the two treatments was statistically significant in favor of indobufen (p < 0.01 Dunn's test).
