Blood-flow restriction rehab after ACL surgery
This trial looks at how well your ACL graft (the repaired tissue) heals after ACL reconstruction when you use a specific rehab method called blood-flow restriction training. It may help your care team understand whether this rehab approach leads to better healing and function.
Sittard, LimburgAges 18–65 - NCT06727344Recruiting
ACL recovery with blood flow restriction therapy
This study tests whether adding blood flow restriction (gentle pressure applied to the upper leg during exercise) to standard treatment can help heal a completely torn ACL. If you have a full ACL tear and can speak Greek, you may be able to join.
NicosiaAges 18–40 - NCT06911372RecruitingPhase 1
Gestational diabetes and brain blood flow after pregnancy
This study looks at how gestational diabetes might affect blood flow to the brain after pregnancy. If you had gestational diabetes or a healthy pregnancy, you may be able to help researchers understand long-term effects.
Iowa City, IowaAges 18–50 - 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 - NCT06762392Recruiting
Blood flow restriction for ACL rehab: a pilot study
This study tests whether using a special band that slightly restricts blood flow (blood flow restriction) during rehabilitation can help people recover better after ACL knee surgery. It's a small early study to see if this method is safe and effective.
Valencia, ValenciaAges 18 years+ - NCT07733518Recruiting
Exercise comparison for knee osteoarthritis
This trial compares two types of exercise—eccentric training and low-load blood flow restriction training—to see which is better for reducing pain and improving function in people with knee osteoarthritis.
Rawalpindi, Punjab ProvinceAges 40–70 - 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 - NCT07261293Recruiting
Blood flow restriction exercise for COPD patients
This study tests whether adding mild blood flow restriction to aerobic exercise can improve lung function, exercise capacity, and inflammation in people with stable COPD. You would exercise on a bike or treadmill while wearing soft cuffs on your legs to lightly restrict blood flow.
IstanbulAges 40–80 - NCT06664827Recruiting
Blood Flow Restriction Training for Elbow Ligament
This study tests a training technique called blood flow restriction (BFR) that may help strengthen the elbow's ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) using light exercise with a cuff. It is for healthy adults who want to try a new way to potentially reduce injury risk.
Houston, TexasAges 18–50 - 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 - NCT07705698Recruiting
Nordic exercise for young female pole vaulters
This study compares two types of Nordic hamstring exercises—one with blood flow restriction and one without—to see which better helps elite young female pole vaulters strengthen their hamstrings and reduce injury risk.
AdanaAges 12–18 - 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 - NCT07805330Recruiting
Blood flow restriction rehab for COPD balance and mobility
This study tests a special exercise method that uses a cuff to limit blood flow in the arms or legs while you exercise. It may help improve your balance and ability to move around if you have COPD.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for blood flow?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 184 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.
