Recruiting studies
- NCT07342634Recruiting
Blood flow restriction after hard exercise
This study looks at whether using a blood-flow-restriction band during intense weight training can help muscles recover faster afterward. You would need to be healthy and able to perform strenuous exercise.
Presidente Prudente, São PauloAges 18–35 - NCT07338695Enrolling by invitation

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 - NCT07324226Recruiting
Heat and acupressure on neck for brain blood flow
This study tests whether applying gentle heat and acupressure (a type of finger pressure) to the side of the neck can increase blood flow to the brain in healthy adults. It may help researchers understand simple ways to support brain health.
Yangsan, Gyeongsangnam-doAges 40–65 - NCT07300384Recruiting
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 - 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 - NCT07269379Recruiting
Exercise during dialysis with blood flow restriction
This study tests whether doing gentle exercise during dialysis with a special cuff that partly limits blood flow can help people on dialysis get stronger and feel better. It might be a good fit if you are on dialysis, not already exercising regularly, and have no serious health conditions that make exercise risky.
StrasbourgAges 20–79 - 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+ - NCT07232511Recruiting
Cuff-assisted exercise for shoulder pain
This study tests whether using a blood pressure cuff during gentle shoulder exercises can help reduce pain and improve movement. It is for people with ongoing shoulder pain related to the rotator cuff (the muscles and tendons that help lift and rotate your arm).
Valencia, ValenciaAges 18–65 - 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+ - NCT07223645Recruiting
Handgrip exercise and brain blood flow in young adults
This study tests whether a simple handgrip exercise program can improve blood flow regulation to the brain in young adults who are not very active. Participants will do handgrip exercises at home using a mobile app to track their progress.
Tallahassee, FloridaAges 18–35 - NCT06621914Recruiting
Blood flow restriction training for military with leg injuries
This trial tests a low-weight exercise program using a special cuff on the leg (blood flow restriction) to see if it helps military personnel recover from leg injuries faster. It could be an option if pain is stopping you from doing normal rehab.
Loughborough, LeicestershireAges 18–55 - NCT07177781Recruiting
Blueberries and brain function in older adults
This study tests whether eating wild blueberries every day for several weeks can improve brain function in people ages 60 to 75 who are overweight or obese. You'll eat blueberry powder or a placebo and have memory and thinking tests before and after.
Maastricht, LimburgAges 60–75 - NCT06955026Recruiting
Hockey slideboard and blood flow restriction for ACL rehab
This trial tests if using a hockey slideboard with blood flow restriction (a special band that limits blood flow during exercise) helps recovery after ACL surgery. It may improve muscle strength and function faster.
Odorheiu Secuiesc, RomaniaAges 18–45 - NCT07141524Enrolling by invitation
Breathing and blood flow optimization during heart-lung machine support
This study looks at ways to improve breathing and blood flow in patients who are on a heart-lung machine (ECMO) for severe heart problems. It may help doctors better manage care for people in intensive care.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT03821467Recruiting
Eye scan study to test a new imaging method in healthy adults
This study checks whether a specific eye-scanning technology gives consistent, repeatable results. It enrolls healthy adults to see if the test works reliably before being used more broadly.
Vienna, State of ViennaAges 18–35 - NCT07063732Recruiting
Ketone drink, high altitude, and brain blood flow during exercise
This trial tests whether a ketone monoester supplement affects brain blood flow and exercise performance at high altitude. It may help us understand how to support brain function during altitude exposure.
Bishop, CaliforniaAges 18–35 - NCT07057245Recruiting
Protein supplement and brain function in older adults
This study tests whether taking a daily protein supplement can improve how your brain works. It is for healthy older adults (ages 60–75) who are overweight but do not have diabetes or take certain medications.
Maastricht, LimburgAges 60–75 - NCT07043569Recruiting
Strength training with blood flow restriction after ACL surgery
This trial tests a special type of strength training that uses a blood pressure cuff to limit blood flow during exercises. It aims to help people recover muscle strength and improve knee function after ACL surgery.
Bonn, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT07043127Recruiting
Strength training after hip replacement with blood flow restriction
This trial tests a new kind of physical therapy after hip replacement. It combines strength exercises with a special technique called blood flow restriction to see if it helps you recover muscle strength faster.
Bonn, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT07006467Recruiting
Study of a dissolving scaffold for leg artery blockages
This trial tests a new type of absorbable scaffold (like a temporary mesh) that is placed inside a blocked artery below the knee to restore blood flow. It is for people with severe leg pain or small ulcers due to chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLI) who have a short blockage in a specific artery.
GrazAges 18 years+ - NCT07001943Recruiting
Blood flow in stomach and gut injury in ICU patients
This trial checks if changes in blood flow to the stomach and intestines can predict gut injury in critically ill patients who need feeding through a tube. It uses a safe ultrasound test at the bedside.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06897670Recruiting
Brain blood flow patterns in mood and memory disorders
This study uses a headband with light sensors (fNIRS) to measure blood flow in the brain while you do thinking tasks. It aims to understand differences in brain activity for people with depression, bipolar disorder, or mild memory loss.

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.
