The condition Ischemia occurs due to insufficient blood supply to body tissues. Due to the nature of the disease, it is also known as Local Anemia, as the blood supply gets restricted to a particular area of the body.
Symptoms of Ischemia are discomfort, pain, tissue death, loss of function and stroke. The causes of Ischemia atr generally blood clots, hypotension, atherosclerosis and tumors.
Treatment of the basic cause of Ischemia can treat the condition in most cases. Medication can also take care of the symptoms. Anticoagulants drug can help to remove the blood clot and normalize the blood circulation. In severe condition, surgery can also help in curing the condition.
Several research works and studies are being conducted on Ischemia to find out more effective treatment method. Clinical trials are an important step in these research works and developments. There are 90 Ischemia trials currently active in the United States. Some Ischemia clinical trials are being performed and managed in 378 cities by 166 different clinical trial investigators. 87 interventions are being tested in Ischemia clinical trials. A total of 14 Phase I, 12 Phase II and 15 Phase III clinical trials are currently active for Ischemia (the phases represent the different stage in the development of a treatment for a given condition.
