6-week blood flow restriction exercise and diabetes
This study tests whether a special type of exercise (using bands to partially restrict blood flow to your arms or legs) can improve how your immune cells work and use energy. It's for people with type 2 diabetes who are not very active.
Kelowna, British ColumbiaAges 19–64 - NCT07646418Recruiting
Light therapy and blood-flow restriction for stroke recovery
This study tests whether combining light therapy with blood-flow restriction exercise (a technique that limits blood flow during gentle movement) helps improve arm strength and reduce muscle stiffness in people recovering from stroke. The goal is to see if this combination works better than standard treatment.
Sialkot, Punjab ProvinceAges 50–70 - NCT07628478Recruiting
Blood Flow Restriction Training for Military Strength
This study tests a special training method that uses arm or leg bands to restrict blood flow during exercise, designed to help military cadets build muscle and increase strength more effectively. Researchers want to see if this technique improves body composition and maximum strength.
Changsha, ChangshaAges Any age - NCT07611526Recruiting
How Your Body Responds to Special Exercise After Knee Surgery
This study looks at how tired your leg muscles get during a new type of exercise training (called blood flow restriction training) after knee replacement surgery. The goal is to understand how this training affects your recovery and strength.
Bonn, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18–85 - NCT07608809Recruiting
Blood Flow Restriction Training vs. Pilates for Shoulder Pain
This study compares two exercise approaches—one using special wraps to limit blood flow during exercise, and standard Pilates—to treat shoulder impingement syndrome (a common condition causing shoulder pain with overhead movements). The goal is to see which method works better at reducing pain and improving shoulder function.
RāshidAges 4 months–1.1 years - NCT05241197Recruiting
Low-load leg training with blood flow restriction for Achilles pain
This study tests whether gentle resistance exercises plus a blood-flow restriction wrap can reduce long-lasting Achilles tendon pain. You may be asked to train in the clinic several times a week for 12 weeks.
Rosario, Santa Fe ProvinceAges 18–50 - NCT07590323Recruiting
Blood Flow Restriction Training for Knee Osteoarthritis
This study tests whether a special training method called blood flow restriction (BFR)—which uses a cuff to safely limit blood flow while you exercise—can help reduce knee osteoarthritis pain and improve function. You'll do supervised exercises three times a week for 8 weeks.
Ha'il, Ha'il RegionAges 40–70 - 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 - NCT07573995Recruiting
Breathing and muscle training for frailty in older adults
This study tests a training program that combines breathing exercises with blood flow restriction (using bands to reduce blood flow in the arms or legs) to see if it improves strength and daily function in older adults who are frail. It may help you feel stronger and more independent.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for blood flow restriction training?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 67 recruiting blood flow restriction training 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 restriction training 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 restriction training 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.
