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 - NCT06642532Recruiting
Using ultrasound to check brain blood flow after skull repair
This study uses a special ultrasound test to see how blood flow in the brain changes after you have surgery to replace a piece of your skull with a PEEK implant. It may help doctors understand if the surgery affects blood flow.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 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 - NCT07613918Recruiting
Brain Blood Flow Monitoring in Critically Ill Children
This study measures how well blood flows to your child's brain while they're in the intensive care unit on a breathing machine. Understanding this flow may help doctors better care for critically ill children.
Madison, WisconsinAges 1 day–17 years - 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 - 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 - NCT07589452Recruiting
Pacemaker heart rate settings and blood pressure in older adults
This study tests whether a specific pacemaker heart-rate setting helps control blood pressure and improve heart function in adults over 65 with slow heartbeats and high blood pressure. You would receive a dual-chamber pacemaker (a standard treatment) and be monitored to see how the rate setting affects your health.
Taiyuan, ShanxiAges 65 years+ - 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 - NCT07588503RecruitingPhase 1
FES Cycling With Blood Flow Restriction for Spinal Cord Injury
This study tests a new exercise method combining electrical stimulation (FES) and controlled blood flow restriction while you cycle. It's designed to improve heart health, blood sugar control, and fitness in people with spinal cord injuries.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–75 - NCT07536516Recruiting
Eye Blood Flow Study in Diabetes Patients Starting New Medication
This study measures blood flow in the eyes and how the retina (back of the eye) uses oxygen in people with diabetes who are starting a new type of diabetes medication. Researchers want to understand how these newer medications affect blood vessels in the eyes.
Vienna, State of ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT07538037Recruiting
Blood Flow Restriction Training for Taekwondo Athletes
This study tests whether a special training method—using gentle pressure to reduce blood flow during light exercise—can help taekwondo athletes build strength and improve their kicks. You'd train under supervision and complete fitness tests over several weeks.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 16–25 - NCT07534319Recruiting
Brain Blood Flow Changes After Stroke Clot Removal
This study examines how blood flow in the brain changes after a minimally invasive procedure to remove a blood clot during an acute stroke. The research uses MRI imaging to understand brain recovery patterns and may help improve stroke treatment outcomes.
Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges 18 years+ - NCT07521111Recruiting
Stomach Blood Flow and Feeding Tolerance in Critical Illness
This study examines whether measuring blood flow in the stomach using ultrasound can predict which hospitalized patients will struggle to tolerate tube feeding. Researchers hope this simple test might help doctors adjust feeding plans earlier and improve patient outcomes.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT07482072Recruiting
Brain blood flow and sugar study for Alzheimer's and diabetes
This study uses brain scans to see how blood flow and sugar transport work in people with both Alzheimer's disease and type 2 diabetes. It may help doctors understand how these conditions interact and find better treatments.
HerlevAges 60–90 - 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 - 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.

Walnuts and brain health: a long-term study
This study tests whether eating walnuts every day for a long time can help keep your brain healthy as you age. It is for middle-aged and older adults who carry extra weight around their belly but are otherwise generally healthy.
Maastricht, LimburgAges 45–75 - NCT07365033Recruiting

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.
