Blood flow restriction training for knee pain relief before surgery
This study tests whether a special type of strength training (called blood flow restriction training) can reduce pain in people with severe knee arthritis who are waiting for knee replacement surgery. The training uses a cuff on the thigh to lightly restrict blood flow while doing exercises until failure.
Valencia, ValenciaAges 50–85 - NCT07365033Recruiting
Exercise With Blood Flow Cuff vs Standard Training for Tennis Elbow
This study compares two exercise programs for long-term tennis elbow (pain for more than a year). One group does slow lowering exercises with a blood pressure cuff on the arm, and the other does standard resistance training.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 25–45 - NCT07676305Recruiting
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 - NCT07469111Recruiting

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 - NCT07478224Recruiting
Blood flow restriction training for osteogenesis imperfecta type I
This study tests whether a special type of strength training, called blood flow restriction training, can improve muscle, bone, and quality of life in adults with osteogenesis imperfecta type I.
GhentAges 18–65 - NCT07485530Recruiting
Testing ultrasound strain tracking for physical therapy
This trial tests whether a new ultrasound method (speckle tracking) can measure soft tissue movement and strain to help guide physical therapy. It is looking for three groups: male pitchers, people with a foot tendon problem needing surgery, and people who had ACL knee surgery.
TaipeiAges 18–65 - NCT07576101Recruiting
Blood Flow Restriction Training for Lower Back Pain
This study tests whether a special exercise technique that carefully reduces blood flow to your legs while exercising can help reduce chronic lower back pain. The goal is to see if this method combined with training can strengthen your muscles and relieve pain more effectively.
IslamabadAges 18–45 - 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 - NCT07600827Recruiting
Restricted Blood Flow Exercise for Knee Pain
This study tests a special exercise method that combines knee strengthening with partial blood flow restriction (using a cuff, similar to taking a blood pressure reading) to treat patellofemoral pain syndrome—a common knee pain condition. The goal is to see if this approach relieves your pain and improves function.
NanjingAges 18–40 - 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 - 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 - 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 - NCT07444736Enrolling by invitation
Exercise with blood flow restriction for adults with obesity
This study tests if adding blood flow restriction to resistance training can improve muscle strength and health in adults with obesity. It may help you build muscle more efficiently with lighter weights.
Tlajomulco de Zúñiga, JaliscoAges 18–30 - NCT07259356Enrolling by invitation
Blood-flow-restriction training for hemophilia patients
This trial tests whether a special type of exercise that limits blood flow is safe and possible for people with hemophilia. It might help strengthen muscles without causing joint bleeds.
Bonn, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT07223437Recruiting
Restricted exercise for peripheral artery disease study
This study tests a new type of exercise that uses a blood-flow restriction cuff to see if it helps people with leg pain from blocked arteries. If you have stable claudication (leg pain when walking) and have been referred to cardiac rehab, you may qualify.
Knoxville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT05423600Recruiting
Telehealth spinal stimulation plus exercise for high-level incomplete SCI
This study tests whether a home, therapist-guided exercise program combined with a spinal stimulation device (with or without limited blood flow) can improve movement and function in people with incomplete tetraplegia. It may help your muscles respond better, but participation depends on safety checks and your ability to do exercises by video.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 18–70 - NCT06756646Recruiting
Aerobic exercise and BFRT for COPD patients
This trial tests if adding a special band (BFRT) to walking or biking can help people with COPD breathe better and get stronger. It may be a good option if you have moderate to very severe COPD and haven't been in a rehab program lately.
Tainan, TaiwanAges 30–85 - NCT07288905Recruiting
Exercise with blood flow restriction for healthy people and CKD patients
This study tests if combining exercise with blood flow restriction training (BFRT) is safe and helpful for healthy adults and people with chronic kidney disease (CKD). It aims to improve strength and health without heavy weights.
TainanAges 20–85 - NCT07316933Recruiting
Exercise with light blood flow restriction before knee replacement
This trial tests if a specific type of exercise, done with a cuff that lightly restricts blood flow to your leg, can help you get stronger and recover better while you wait for knee replacement surgery. The blood flow restriction is carefully controlled and adjusted during exercise, which may make the workout more effective.
Valencia, ValenciaAges 50–85 - NCT07109739Recruiting
Breathing muscle training for blood pressure
This study tests if doing daily breathing exercises with a device can help lower blood pressure and improve blood vessel health. It's for people with higher-than-normal blood pressure who are otherwise healthy.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for blood flow restriction training?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 70 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.
