Recruiting studies
- NCT06566950Recruiting
Blood flow training for leg muscle health in athletes
This study tests a training method that uses light blood flow restriction to improve leg muscle structure. It is for young athletes (ages 15–35) who play high-level sports like martial arts, basketball, soccer, or futsal at least twice a week.
Denpasar, BaliAges 15–35 - NCT06815367Recruiting
Compression vs Blood Flow Restriction for Muscle Recovery
This study compares two methods to help muscles recover after exercise: pneumatic compression (like a gentle massage sleeve) versus blood flow restriction (using a cuff). It aims to find which works better for healthy, active young adults.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–30 - NCT06724393Enrolling by invitation
Blood Flow Restriction Exercise for Older Adults
This study tests whether low-intensity exercise with blood flow restriction (using special cuffs on your arms or legs) can improve strength and daily function in older adults. You join online classes from home and go to the campus three times for check-ups.
Montreal, QuebecAges 60 years+ - NCT06533956Recruiting
Walking training with blood flow restriction for children with cerebral palsy
This study tests a new walking program that combines treadmill training with a special pressure cuff on the legs (blood flow restriction). It may help children with cerebral palsy strengthen their legs and walk better.
AngersAges 8–18 - NCT06496035Recruiting
Blood flow training for leg fracture recovery
This study tests whether a special exercise method called blood flow restriction training helps people heal faster after a broken shinbone (tibia). It might improve strength and recovery during physical therapy.
Denver, ColoradoAges 18–100 - NCT06508801Recruiting
Blood flow restriction to improve balance in Parkinson's
This study tests whether gently restricting blood flow to your legs during exercise can help improve balance for people with Parkinson's disease. You will do simple leg exercises while wearing a special cuff, which may strengthen muscles and improve steadiness.
San Antonio, TexasAges 40–85 - NCT06512961Enrolling by invitation
Tissue flossing for arm blood flow: reliability study
This study tests whether a technique called tissue flossing (wrapping a band around your arm to temporarily restrict blood flow) is reliable and can improve arm performance. It is for healthy adults who have no major health conditions or recent injuries.
Presidente Prudente, São PauloAges 18–30 - 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+ - NCT06075901Enrolling by invitation
Flossing for blood flow: muscle study
This trial tests whether wrapping a floss band around your leg can safely and effectively restrict blood flow. It aims to help people who may benefit from muscle training with reduced blood flow.
Presidente Prudente, São PauloAges 18–30 - NCT05754632Recruiting
Blood flow restriction exercises after ACL surgery in teens
This trial tests whether a special type of exercise that uses a cuff (blood flow restriction training, or BFRT) can help teens recover after ACL reconstruction. It’s designed to see if adding BFRT to standard rehab improves strength and return to sport.
Farmington, ConnecticutAges 12–18 - NCT05433103Recruiting
Blood flow restriction training for veterans with multiple sclerosis
This trial tests whether a special exercise method that briefly limits blood flow to the legs can improve strength and walking ability in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). If you have walking limitations, it may help you build fitness with less heavy resistance training—but you must be able to safely use a pressure cuff during testing.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–75 - NCT05163600Recruiting
Exercise with or without blood flow restriction for health
This study compares how your heart and lungs respond to two different types of exercise: one with a special cuff that slightly limits blood flow and one without. It may help if you are healthy or have COPD.
Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges 18–90 - 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 - 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+ - 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 - 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 - 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 - 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 - 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.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18 years+

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.
