Recruiting studies
- NCT05168943Recruiting
Comparing nylon and polyurethane epidural tubes for major surgery
This trial compares two types of epidural catheters (nylon vs polyurethane) in people having major orthopedic surgery. It may help find which catheter type is safer and works better for pain control during and after surgery.

Bullhead City, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06938750Recruiting
New device study for ICU drug delivery
This trial tests a new medical device that gives medication to patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). It aims to see if the device works safely and effectively.
Pamplona, NavarreAges 1 year+ - NCT05537389Recruiting
Test safety of IV central lines in newborns
This study checks how safe it is to place and use a central venous catheter (a special IV line) in newborns in the NICU. It may help doctors use these lines more safely when they’re needed.
Torino, ItaliaAges 1 hour–3 months - NCT06365528Recruiting
Tunneled PICC line in adults in the hospital
This study looks at how well a tunneled PICC (a special long-term IV line) works in adults who need it while in the hospital. It aims to see if it reduces complications compared to standard PICCs, which could mean fewer problems for you.
Porto AlegreAges 18 years+ - NCT05209841Recruiting
Heparin versus saline to keep IV line working
This trial compares using heparin (a blood-thinning medicine) versus saline (salt water) to keep a peripheral IV line open and working. It may help reduce line blockage and improve how well IV treatments can be given.
Sant Pere de Ribes, BarcelonaAges 18–100 - NCT04331249Recruiting
Monitoring heart device during and around your procedure
This trial looks at how to manage and check implanted heart devices (pacemakers/defibrillators) during and around a planned procedure. It may help teams improve safety and decision-making during surgery or catheter procedures.
Fürth, BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT07014722Recruiting
Blood clotting study in new central line catheters
This study looks at how blood clotting is activated in new central venous catheters (large IVs placed in a chest vein). It may help doctors understand and reduce clotting risks. You can join if you need a new catheter and are not on strong blood thinners.
Lund, Skåne CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT07703618Recruiting
Does arm massage and tapping prevent IV irritation?
This study tests whether gentle massage and tapping on your arm near the IV site can lower the chance of irritation (phlebitis) from the IV. If you qualify, you would do simple hand and arm motions for a short time each day while you have the IV.
Bogotá, Bogota D.C.Ages 18–110 - NCT07509359Recruiting
Comparing two vein approaches for midline catheters in children
This trial compares two ways to place a midline catheter (a type of IV line) in children to see which works better. If your child needs long-term IV access during or after surgery, this study may help find the safest and most effective method.
Seoul, Soul-t'ukpyolsiAges 2–17 - NCT06217783Recruiting
Comparing IV catheter lengths for hard-to-find veins in cancer patients
This trial compares two different lengths of IV catheters placed with ultrasound help for cancer patients in the emergency room who have hard-to-find veins. The goal is to see which catheter length works best and lasts longer during a hospital stay.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06635551Recruiting
Comparing blood clot risks after cancer vs. non-cancer surgery
This trial studies how often blood clots form in catheters after major surgery, comparing patients with and without cancer. It may help doctors prevent clotting in the future.
Mersin, YenişehirAges 18–80 - NCT06465121Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided IV placement for children with difficult veins
This trial tests whether using ultrasound to guide IV placement helps children who are known to have hard-to-find veins. It aims to make the process quicker and less painful.
ReimsAges 1 month–18 years - NCT07019623Recruiting
U-CaVIT device vs standard care for preventing heavy bleeding after c-section
This study tests a new device called U-CaVIT to prevent heavy bleeding after a planned cesarean delivery in women at high risk. It compares the U-CaVIT device to standard care to see which works better.
ZurichAges 18 years+ - NCT07183592Recruiting
Changing IV tubing in the ICU: does less often harm?
This trial compares changing the tubing attached to central lines every 4 days versus every 7 days, to see if less frequent changes cause more infections. If you have a central line in the ICU that will stay in for at least a week, this study may help decide the safest schedule.
Saint-Pierre, La RéunionAges 18 years+ - NCT06799052Recruiting
Cervical preparation for same-day abortion procedure
This study compares two methods of preparing the cervix (the opening to the uterus) on the same day as a dilation and evacuation (D&E) procedure for abortion at 16 to 18 weeks of pregnancy. The goal is to see which preparation approach works best and is safest.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 16 years+ - NCT06769087Enrolling by invitation
Removing urinary catheter right after colorectal cancer surgery
This study compares taking out the urinary catheter immediately after colorectal cancer surgery versus leaving it in for one day. It aims to see which approach leads to fewer complications and faster recovery.
Seoul, SeoulAges 19–80 - NCT06770374Recruiting
Zinc oxide adhesive for IV line securement
This trial tests a special adhesive dressing made with zinc oxide to keep your IV line secure. It looks at whether this dressing helps prevent the line from moving, which could reduce complications.
Lleida, CataloniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05830721Recruiting
Monitoring leg pressure in adults on life-support
This trial tests a device that continuously measures pressure in an arm or leg to help detect compartment syndrome in people on a heart-lung machine (VA-ECMO). It may help clinicians act sooner if pressure becomes dangerous, potentially reducing complications.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05906134RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Pain control plan after minimally invasive esophagus surgery
This trial tests a pain-control method (using an epidural/nerve pain-block through the back, called neuraxial anesthesia) for people having minimally invasive esophagus removal surgery. It may help reduce pain after surgery and improve comfort during recovery.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT07531966Recruiting
Blood Vessel Problems After Kidney Transplant Treatment
This study looks at treating narrowing or blockage of blood vessels in transplanted kidneys. If your transplanted kidney is showing signs of not working well and imaging shows a blocked vessel, this trial tests whether a procedure called angioplasty (opening the vessel with a tiny balloon) can help restore blood flow and improve kidney function.
AarhusAges 18 years+ - NCT07121517Recruiting
Predicting airway problems in children with tracheostomies
This study looks at children with tracheostomies to see if symptoms you or your doctor notice can predict airway problems found during a routine scope. Participation involves no extra procedures—just answering questions and giving permission to use information from that routine scope.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for catheter complications?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 22 recruiting catheter complications 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 catheter complications 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 catheter complications 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.
