Recruiting studies
- NCT07701720Enrolling by invitation
Ultrasound vs. landmark for jugular vein catheter placement
This trial compares using ultrasound versus feeling for landmarks to place a central line in the neck (internal jugular vein). The goal is to see which method reduces the chance the catheter goes to the wrong spot.
Diyarbakır, Eyalet/YerleşkeAges 18–75 - NCT06920173RecruitingPhase 2
Low-dose vasopressors for shock in the ICU
This study tests whether giving low-dose blood pressure medicines through a standard IV (instead of a larger central line) is safe and effective for patients with shock in the intensive care unit.
Kingston, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06905119Recruiting
Smartphone app for managing PICC line care
This study tests a smartphone app to help manage care for people with a PICC (a long-term IV line). It aims to improve communication and monitoring during treatment at home.
Pamplona, NavarreAges 18 years+ - NCT06958731Enrolling by invitation
Comparing two ways to place a jugular vein catheter
This trial tests two ultrasound-guided methods for placing a catheter in the internal jugular vein in the neck. It aims to find which approach is safer and easier for patients needing this procedure.
Changchun, JilinAges 18 years+ - NCT06085690Recruiting
Reducing bloodstream infections from ICU catheters
This study tests a new method to prevent infections from central lines (special IVs placed in large veins) in intensive care units. If you have a central line in place for more than 24 hours, this research may help improve your safety by finding better ways to avoid catheter-related bloodstream infections.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT06885073Recruiting
A new way to check vein pressure in children without needles
This trial tests a new way to measure pressure inside a major vein in the chest without needing to stick any needles. It might be an option for children and young adults up to age 21 who already have a central line or are getting a heart catheter.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges Up to 21 years - NCT07798427Enrolling by invitation
Ultrasound-guided IV placement study
This study compares two ways to place an IV (a small tube that gives you medicine or fluids through a vein). One method uses ultrasound to find the best vein, the other uses the traditional method. It aims to see if ultrasound helps make IV placement easier and more successful.
New York, New YorkAges 12 years+ - NCT07450729Recruiting
IV catheter use study in children in the ER
This study looks at how IV catheters work in children who come to the emergency room and need an IV for at least 24 hours. It will help doctors understand the best ways to use and care for IVs in kids.
FlorenceAges birth–18 years - NCT04265703Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided line placement for hard-to-access veins
This study tests a specific ultrasound-guided technique to place a central venous catheter (a medical access line) when jugular veins are difficult to access. It may help reduce failed attempts and improve safety in people who need this kind of line for medical care.
GuadalajaraAges 18–80 - NCT07222813Recruiting
Liver scan to detect high blood pressure in the heart
This trial uses a special liver scan (FibroScan) to measure liver stiffness, which may help detect high pressure in the central veins returning blood to the heart. It is for people with heart failure who are already scheduled for a right heart catheterization.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07701746Enrolling by invitation
Ultrasound vs Landmark for Neck Central Line
This trial compares two methods for placing a central line in your neck: one uses ultrasound imaging to guide the needle, the other uses only body landmarks. The goal is to find which method is safer and more successful.
Diyarbakır, Eyalet/YerleşkeAges 18–75 - NCT07303855Recruiting
Better fluid management after major abdominal surgery
This study compares two ways of giving fluids to people after major abdominal surgery in the ICU. It will see if using a measure of how much blood the heart pumps (cardiac index) is better than the usual method based on vein pressure.
Jakarta Pusat, DKI JakartaAges 18–65 - NCT06180902Recruiting
Testing fluid response methods in patients with reduced consciousness
This trial compares different ways to check if a patient in the ICU with lowered consciousness needs more IV fluids. It aims to find the most accurate method, which could help doctors give the right amount of fluid.
MoscowAges 18 years+ - NCT04871568Recruiting
Compare two sites for dialysis catheter placement
This trial tests whether placing a dialysis catheter in one location (subclavian/near the collarbone) is as good as placing it in another (jugular/neck) for patients who need a temporary dialysis catheter. It aims to reduce problems like vein narrowing caused by catheter placement.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for central venous catheterization?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 14 recruiting central venous catheterization 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 central venous catheterization 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 central venous catheterization 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.
