Recruiting studies
- NCT07825805Recruiting
Hand position and CPR comfort for helpers
This trial tests different hand positions during CPR to see which is easier and gives better chest compressions. It may help find a way for people to do CPR more comfortably and effectively.
PécsAges 18 years+ - NCT07824050Recruiting
Studying dangerous heart rhythms after a heart attack
This study looks at people who had a heart attack or cardiac arrest to find out which dangerous heart rhythms can happen afterward. The goal is to improve care and prevent future problems.
Eindhoven, North BrabantAges 18 years+ - NCT07782216Recruiting
Studying brain proteins after acute brain injury
This study looks at how certain brain proteins (called biomarkers) behave in the blood after an acute brain injury. The goal is to see if these proteins can help doctors quickly assess the severity of the injury. Participation involves giving blood samples at specific times after your injury.
Pécs, BranyaAges 18 years+ - NCT06564675Recruiting
Using EEG brain waves to predict recovery after cardiac arrest
This trial uses a special EEG device (Brainstatus) to measure brain activity in people who are still unconscious after a cardiac arrest. The goal is to see if certain brain waves can predict a good recovery.
HelsinkiAges 18–110 - NCT07762144Enrolling by invitation
Recovery after cardiac arrest
This trial collects health information from people who have survived a cardiac arrest (when the heart stops) and have been brought back to life. The information may help doctors improve care and recovery after this event.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT07754656Recruiting
Adapted CPR study for cardiac arrest
This study tests a different way of doing CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) when someone's heart stops. It aims to see if this adapted approach can improve outcomes for patients.
Linz, Upper AustriaAges 18 years+ - NCT04493970Recruiting
Study tests a CPR training app for high school students
This trial looks at whether using a required CPR training approach (through instruction and an app) improves learning among high school students. You may be asked to complete a short survey to help researchers understand how well the training is working.
Overland Park, KansasAges 12–25 - NCT07614074Recruiting
Understanding Recovery from Coma and Unconsciousness
This study follows patients who have been in a coma (deep unconsciousness) for at least 24 hours due to a brain injury. Researchers will track how patients recover over time to better understand which factors help predict who will wake up and how well they'll recover.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT06766006Recruiting
Heart-lung machine left ventricle unloading study
This study looks at how to best relieve pressure on the heart while a heart-lung machine is helping to pump blood. It includes anyone who needs this support.
MaastrichtAges 1 day–80 years - NCT07490171Recruiting
Study of traumatic cardiac arrest
This study looks at how to best treat adults who go into cardiac arrest because of a serious injury, like from a car crash or fall. The goal is to find ways to improve survival and recovery.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05373498Recruiting
Registry for children’s heart emergencies after resuscitation
This trial is a registry that collects information about children (under 18) who have congenital heart problems and need resuscitation with chest compressions. It helps doctors understand these emergencies and may improve future care for similar patients.
Leipzig, SaxonyAges Up to 18 years - NCT04576130Recruiting
ICD study after cardiac arrest from an abnormal heart rhythm
This study looks at an implantable defibrillator (ICD) strategy in people who survived a cardiac arrest caused by an abnormal rhythm (ventricular fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia). It aims to reduce the risk of another dangerous rhythm after the blocked heart arteries are fully treated.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT07430813Recruiting
Drone delivery of defibrillators for bystanders
This study tests if drones can deliver a defibrillator to people who witness a cardiac arrest, helping them provide lifesaving care before an ambulance arrives. You may be asked to use a training manikin to see how quickly you can help.
Guildford, SurreyAges 18 years+ - NCT07431710Recruiting
AI-guided chest compressions for cardiac arrest in the ER
This trial tests whether artificial intelligence (AI) can help doctors give better chest compressions during CPR for adults whose hearts stopped outside the hospital. The goal is to improve blood flow and outcomes without using special equipment in the ambulance.
New Taipei City, BanqiaoAges 20 years+ - NCT07410481Recruiting
Therapy for PTSD after a cardiac arrest
This study compares two talking therapies for PTSD after a cardiac arrest. One combines mindfulness and acceptance with gradual exposure to difficult memories; the other focuses on present life challenges. Both aim to reduce distress and improve quality of life.
New York, New YorkAges 18–81 - NCT07405229RecruitingPhase 4
Medical treatment for idiopathic ventricular fibrillation patients
This study tests medical treatments for people who survived a cardiac arrest with a specific heart rhythm problem called idiopathic ventricular fibrillation. If your cardiac arrest was likely from a heart issue but not from clogged arteries, you might help find better treatments.
Copenhagen, Dr.Ages 18 years+ - NCT06789978Recruiting
Quick ECPR for cardiac arrest in Prague
This study tests a rapid way to give life support using a heart-lung bypass machine (ECPR) to people experiencing a sudden cardiac arrest that doesn't stop with defibrillators or standard CPR. The goal is to start this treatment within 20 minutes of the emergency call, which may improve chances of survival.
Prague, CzechiaAges 18–70 - NCT07363772Recruiting
Mixed reality CPR training for adults
This trial tests whether mixed reality (a blend of real and virtual worlds) can teach cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to adults. It may help people who haven't taken a CPR class in the last year learn this lifesaving skill in a new way.
Seoul, Nowon-guAges 18–50 - NCT07358793Recruiting
Simulation training for emergency teams
This study compares two ways of training emergency teams to handle adult medical emergencies (not from injury). It looks at how well teams work together using a standard approach called A-C-L-S.
Douliu, YunlinAges 18 years+ - NCT07352709Recruiting
Ventilation feedback simulation for EMS crews
This trial tests a simulation tool that gives feedback on ventilation performance. It is designed for currently active EMS professionals to see if the tool improves their skills.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–60 - NCT05166343RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Testing a shot of epinephrine during out-of-hospital CPR
This trial studies whether giving a medicine shot (epinephrine) into the muscle helps children who have a cardiac arrest outside the hospital. It’s meant for emergency situations where CPR is started right away by trained responders.
London, OntarioAges 1 day–17 years - NCT07264166Enrolling by invitation
Gene therapy trial for cerebral palsy and HIE
This trial tests a gene therapy given as a nose spray for people with cerebral palsy or HIE. It aims to see if the treatment is safe and helps improve movement over two years.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cardiac arrest?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 174 recruiting cardiac arrest 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 cardiac arrest 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 cardiac arrest 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.
