We study propagating disturbances in 38 coronal loops and give an overview of their properties using high cadence, 171 Å, TRACE data (JOP 83 & JOP 144). The majority of these outward propagating oscillations are found in the footpoints of large diffuse coronal loop structures, close to active regions. The disturbances travel outward with a propagation speed of the order of v ≍ 119+/-39 km/s. The variations in intensity are estimated to be roughly 4.1+/-1.6% of the background brightness and the propagating disturbances are found to be damped very quickly, within 8.6+/-3.8 Mm along the loop. Using a wavelet analysis, periods of the order of 282+/-93 seconds are found and the energy flux was estimated as 346+/-132 ergs/cm2s. It is suggested that these oscillations are slow magneto-acoustic waves propagating along the lower part of large, quiescent, coronal loops.
