What were the results of the EDTA treatment of intermittent claudication in a double-blind, placebo-controlled study?
The results of the EDTA treatment of intermittent claudication in a double-blind, placebo-controlled study (Guldager B, Jelnes R, Jorgensen SJ, et al. EDTA treatment of intermittent claudication a double-blind, placebo-controlled study. J Intern Med. 1992;231:261 7.) indicated that there was a statistically significant reduction in the number of claudication episodes and an increase in the distance of pain-free walking compared to the placebo group. Additionally, the results showed a statistically significant increase in the ankle-brachial index in the EDTA group compared to the control group. Furthermore, there was an overall improvement in the quality of life of patients that received EDTA treatment.
