Walking training with blood flow restriction for children with cerebral palsy
This study tests a new walking program that combines treadmill training with a special pressure cuff on the legs (blood flow restriction). It may help children with cerebral palsy strengthen their legs and walk better.
AngersAges 8–18 - NCT05303363Recruiting
Checking brain blood flow during a breathing heart-lung machine
This study monitors how much blood is reaching the brain in adults who need a specific type of life-support called VV-ECMO. The goal is to better understand brain blood flow and how monitoring may help manage care during ECMO.
Amsterdam-ZuidoostAges 18–100 - NCT05679739Recruiting
Caring for brain after cardiac arrest
This study tests a treatment approach aimed at protecting the brain and supporting better blood flow to the brain after a cardiac arrest. It may help some people who are in a coma right after the event recover more safely or with less brain injury.
SingaporeAges 21–79 - NCT04391465Recruiting
Blood flow and heart rate during a heart procedure study
This study looks at how changes in blood flow in the brain relate to heart rate during a specific heart rhythm procedure. It may help doctors better understand how the body’s brain and heart responses connect during temporary pacing.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18–70 - 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 - 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 - NCT06642532Recruiting
Using ultrasound to check brain blood flow after skull repair
This study uses a special ultrasound test to see how blood flow in the brain changes after you have surgery to replace a piece of your skull with a PEEK implant. It may help doctors understand if the surgery affects blood flow.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07422220Recruiting
Walnuts and brain health: a long-term study
This study tests whether eating walnuts every day for a long time can help keep your brain healthy as you age. It is for middle-aged and older adults who carry extra weight around their belly but are otherwise generally healthy.
Maastricht, LimburgAges 45–75 - NCT04970888Recruiting
Exercise program to improve thinking and brain blood flow in heart failure
This trial tests whether doing a combined mental (cognitive) and physical exercise program can improve thinking and how well blood flows to the brain in people with chronic heart failure. It may help by strengthening both brain function and physical capacity while your heart condition stays stable.
Montreal, QuebecAges 50 years+ - NCT05250349Recruiting
Ultrasound brain blood flow and thinking in stable heart failure
This trial studies whether a noninvasive ultrasound test of blood flow in the brain, along with memory and thinking questionnaires, can help explain thinking changes in people with stable heart failure. It may help researchers better understand why some people develop cognitive (thinking) difficulties as heart failure progresses.
Krakow, MPAges 18 years+ - NCT05573074Recruiting
Light treatment trial for brain blood flow in depression
This study tests whether shining near-infrared light through the head can change brain blood flow and reduce depression symptoms. If you have major depression, you may be offered a non-drug, device-based approach to see how well it helps.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–65 - NCT07695090RecruitingPhase 2
Lumacaftor for improved brain blood flow in heart failure
This trial tests if lumacaftor, a medication used in cystic fibrosis, can improve blood flow to the brain in people with stable heart failure. It might help if you have heart failure with reduced pumping function and low brain blood flow.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06421987Recruiting
Heart, lung, and brain function in Hodgkin lymphoma survivors
This study looks at how heart, lung, and brain blood flow are affected in adults who survived Hodgkin lymphoma as children. It compares survivors who had certain treatments to healthy volunteers.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - 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.

Cord Blood Protein in Anemia Transfusion Study
This study measures a protein (S100B) in cord blood from babies who had or did not need a blood transfusion in the womb for hemolytic disease. It looks for possible markers of brain health.
WarsawAges 18 years+ - NCT05400174Recruiting
How blood pressure changes affect thinking and brain flow in Parkinson’s
This study measures how your blood pressure affects thinking skills and how blood flows in the brain in people with Parkinson’s. It may help researchers understand what blood-pressure changes could mean for cognition in Parkinson’s.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 50 years+ - NCT07534319Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for cerebral blood flow?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 25 recruiting cerebral 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 cerebral 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 cerebral 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.
