Blood flow restriction training for knee osteoarthritis
This trial tests whether using a special band to limit blood flow during exercise can help reduce pain and improve movement in people with mild knee osteoarthritis. It may be an option if you have knee pain and stiffness but no other serious health conditions.
Islamabad, FederalAges 40–60 - NCT04554212Recruiting
Blood flow restriction therapy after kneecap instability
This trial tests whether a special exercise method called blood flow restriction training can help people recover faster and get back to running and pivoting activities after a kneecap (patella) that slips out of place. It may help strengthen the knee while you go through physical therapy.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 14–40 - NCT06441422Recruiting
Blood flow training for people with disabilities
This trial tests if using a blood pressure cuff during arm exercises can help people with disabilities build muscle strength. It's designed to be safe and effective for those who can do upper body movements.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT06854458Recruiting
Stress heart MRI for better diagnosis of heart artery disease
This study uses a special stress heart MRI to measure blood flow and find blockages in the arteries that supply your heart. It is for people with chest pain or abnormal EKG results who have risk factors for heart disease, to help doctors diagnose and treat coronary artery disease more accurately.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 35–85 - NCT07082478Recruiting
Blood Flow Study in People with Low Blood Sugar After Weight Loss Surgery
This study looks at blood flow in a neck artery in people who have low blood sugar after bariatric surgery compared to healthy individuals. It may help understand why some people experience hypoglycemia after weight loss surgery.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–70 - NCT07172568Recruiting
Blood flow restriction training for tennis elbow
This study tests whether a special type of strength training that temporarily limits blood flow to the arm can help treat tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis). It may be an option for people who have tried physical therapy without success.
Munich, BavariaAges 18–65 - NCT07469111Recruiting
Low-weight arm exercises with blood flow restriction for COPD patients
This trial tests whether doing light arm exercises while wearing a cuff that slightly restricts blood flow can help people with COPD improve their arm strength and function without heavy weights.
Malatya, BattalgaziAges 40–80 - NCT07585305Recruiting
Blood Flow Restriction Training for Knee Pain in Athletes
This study compares two types of exercise—resistance training and cycling—both using a special technique that temporarily reduces blood flow to your leg muscles. The goal is to see which approach works better for reducing knee pain and improving strength in athletes with patellofemoral pain (pain around or behind the kneecap).
IslamabadAges 18–40 - NCT06434272Recruiting
Blood flow restriction exercise after Achilles tendon rupture
This study tests whether adding blood flow restriction (using a special cuff) to standard rehabilitation exercises can help people with a torn Achilles tendon recover better. It might be an option if you recently ruptured your Achilles and started treatment within 72 hours.
Aarhus NAges 18 years+ - NCT06596304Recruiting
How blood vessels respond to exercise with and without blood flow restriction
This study looks at how your blood vessels respond to resistance exercise (like weight lifting) with and without a technique called blood flow restriction. It compares younger and older adults to understand how aging affects these responses.
Almada, Monte Da CaparicaAges 18 years+ - NCT07426549Recruiting
Knee Exercises With Blood Flow Restriction for Osteoarthritis
This study compares two types of knee exercises (closed chain and open chain) with a special blood flow restriction technique to see which helps reduce pain and improve function in people with mild to moderate knee osteoarthritis.

Bypass machine settings to protect kidneys during heart surgery
This study tests whether a special way of running the heart-lung bypass machine during planned heart surgery can help protect your kidneys and reduce the risk of kidney injury after the operation.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–85 - NCT07577752Recruiting
Measuring Blood Flow in the Heart's Main Artery
This research study uses MRI imaging to measure how blood flows through your aorta, the main blood vessel leaving your heart. Researchers want to understand normal blood flow patterns in healthy people to improve how doctors diagnose heart problems.
Enschede, OverijsselAges 18–85 - NCT06973590Recruiting
Blood flow restriction and nerve stimulation for stroke recovery
This trial tests whether combining blood flow restriction with mild electrical nerve stimulation can improve ankle and leg movement after a stroke. It may help you if you had a single stroke more than 6 months ago and can walk a short distance on your own.
Hong KongAges 50–80 - NCT07002697Recruiting
Study of blood vessel shape and plaque buildup

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for blood flow?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 191 recruiting blood flow studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a blood flow trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a blood flow trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
