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 - 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 - 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 - 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 - NCT07343752Recruiting
Blood flow restriction therapy for teen flat feet
This study tests whether adding a special blood-flow restriction technique to physical therapy helps teenagers with stiff, spasming flat feet more than physical therapy alone. It is for teens whose flat feet didn't get better with initial treatment.
AsyutAges 10–18 - NCT07354607Recruiting
Does electrical stimulation improve blood flow?
This study tests whether a gentle, non-invasive electrical stimulation on the arms can increase blood flow. It may help people with circulation problems.
ChambéryAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT00001360Recruiting
Brain Blood Flow During Thinking Study
This research study uses brain imaging to see how blood flows in your brain while you think and perform tasks. Researchers hope to better understand how healthy brains work during different types of thinking.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–65 - NCT00437879Recruiting
Ultrasound and MRI scans to track breast cancer response early
This study uses ultrasound and/or MRI scans to see how breast cancer responds early while you start “neoadjuvant” treatment (chemotherapy, with or without radiation before surgery). It may help doctors spot response sooner and better understand which imaging changes match treatment benefit.
Toronto, OntarioAges Any age - NCT02370199Recruiting
Blood flow testing using a gentle electromagnetic energy treatment
This study measures how blood flow responds after a non-surgical energy test. It is likely looking for normal, healthy blood-flow reactions and how different people respond.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18–59 - NCT07675499RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Exercise and Nasal Insulin for Type 2 Diabetes
This study tests if adding nose spray insulin and exercise together improves blood sugar control and brain function in older adults with type 2 diabetes.
