- NCT07345156Recruiting
Congestion and lactate at discharge in heart failure
This trial studies a simple test (lung ultrasound and a blood test for lactate) done right before you leave the hospital for heart failure. It aims to see if these tests help doctors know how well you are recovering and if you might need extra care after discharge.

Heart and metabolic health in silent pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma
This study looks at heart and metabolic health in people who have pheochromocytomas or paragangliomas that do not produce extra hormones. It aims to understand whether these 'silent' tumors affect cardiovascular and metabolic health, and how they compare to other cases.
AthensAges 18 years+ - NCT07284446Recruiting
Depression, memory, and outcomes in heart failure patients
This study looks at how depression and memory problems affect recovery in people hospitalized with worsening chronic heart failure. It aims to find better ways to support patients during their hospital stay.
KaunasAges 18–85 - NCT07270718Recruiting
Beetroot powder for blood pressure in men with hypertension
This trial tests whether taking 20 grams of beetroot powder daily can help lower blood pressure and improve blood flow in men who already have high blood pressure under control with medication. Beetroot is rich in nitrates, which may relax blood vessels.
MoscowAges 18–60 - NCT07260097Recruiting
Eye imaging study after retinal detachment surgery
This study looks at how blood flow changes in the eye after a type of retinal detachment surgery called scleral buckling. It uses imaging to check the eye's blood vessels, and may help doctors understand recovery better.
SingaporeAges 21 years+ - NCT07237347Recruiting
Ultrasound training for intensive care doctors in Switzerland
This study looks at how doctors in intensive care units (ICUs) use ultrasound and manage sound volumes. It aims to improve training and patient care in Swiss hospitals.
BaselAges 18 years+ - NCT07221695Enrolling by invitation
Pelvic vein treatment: foam plus glue vs foam plus coils
This trial compares two different methods for treating chronic pelvic pain caused by pelvic vein disorders. One method uses foam plus a medical glue, the other uses foam plus tiny metal coils. The goal is to find which approach works better.
Kafr ash Shaykh, Kafrelshaykh GovernorateAges 18–50 - NCT07224906Recruiting
Observing patients having a right heart catheterization
This study observes people who are already scheduled for a right heart catheterization, a procedure that checks the pressure in your heart. It helps doctors learn more about heart conditions without adding any extra treatments or procedures.
Boulder, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT06726109Recruiting
FOCUS study on acute heart failure
This trial is studying patients admitted to the hospital for acute heart failure. It will collect information to better understand and treat people with low heart pumping strength (ejection fraction less than 40%) and fluid retention.
Genk, BelgiumAges Any age - NCT07099859RecruitingPhase 4
Losartan after aortic valve surgery for severe leakage
This trial tests if the drug losartan can help the heart recover better after surgery to replace a leaky aortic valve. It may reduce strain on the heart and improve long-term outcomes.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18–85 - NCT07101289Recruiting
Eat Well Heart Failure Coaching Study
This study is testing a virtual health coaching program that helps people with heart failure eat better when they have trouble affording food. The program may help prevent future hospital stays and improve your health.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT03994874RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing fluid removal through the belly in heart-kidney failure
This trial studies a treatment that removes extra fluid through a catheter placed in the abdomen (peritoneal ultrafiltration) for people with “cardio-renal syndrome” (heart and kidney problems together). It may help those who stay congested despite high-dose water pills (diuretics) and have certain heart circulation and fluid signs.
ChietiAges 18 years+ - NCT07077772Recruiting
Guiding fluid removal after heart surgery
This trial tests a method to guide how much fluid is removed after heart surgery using a urine salt test, to see if it helps patients recover better. If you are having planned heart surgery with a heart-lung machine, you may be able to join.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT07059962Recruiting
Sensor-based congestion alert for peritoneal dialysis
This study tests a new sensor system that can predict fluid overload (congestion) in people on peritoneal dialysis. It may help you and your care team spot problems early so you can avoid hospital visits.
Victorville, CaliforniaAges 21 years+ - NCT07052461Recruiting
Blood flow study in ICU patients after heart surgery
This study looks at blood flow patterns in patients after non-emergency heart surgery to see if they relate to recovery in the ICU. It uses a special ultrasound to check blood vessels in the belly and leg.
BaselAges 18 years+ - NCT07008365RecruitingPhase 3
Measuring belly pressure and ultrasound to guide fluid removal in heart failure
This trial tests whether using belly pressure and bedside ultrasound can help doctors better manage fluid removal (decongestion) in people hospitalized with heart failure. The goal is to see if this approach leads to better outcomes.
ZaragozaAges 18–100 - NCT06973902Recruiting
A study on heart pump therapy and stress echo for advanced heart failure
This trial tests how well a heart stress ultrasound (dobutamine echo) can predict if you will get better from a special heart device called cardiac contractility modulation (CCM). CCM is a pacemaker-like implant for people with advanced heart failure who still have symptoms even with the best medicines. The study will help doctors know which patients benefit the most from this device.
Marcianise, CampaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06909682Recruiting
AI monitoring with wearables for chronic heart failure
This trial tests an AI system that uses wearable devices and mini-invasive tools to monitor people with chronic heart failure. The goal is to detect changes early and help manage the condition at home.
SalernoAges 19 years+ - NCT06628973Recruiting
Social activities for women with heart failure
This trial tests a social program to help women with heart failure better stick with their medications and feel healthier. You'll be connected to community activities and support tailored to your needs.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT06604468Recruiting
Portable chest device for detecting lung fluid in heart failure
This trial tests a small, portable device worn on the chest that measures changes in fluid levels in your lungs to help detect early signs of fluid buildup (pulmonary congestion). This could help people with heart failure avoid emergency hospital visits.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT06587854Recruiting
Study on fluid congestion in acute heart failure patients
This study looks at different patterns of fluid buildup in people with acute heart failure. It aims to understand how these patterns relate to treatment with water pills (diuretics) and may help improve care.
GroningenAges 18 years+ - NCT06555757Recruiting
Using AI and sound to predict heart failure worsening
This trial uses a smartphone app to record sounds from your chest and breathing. An AI system will analyze these sound patterns to predict when heart failure symptoms might get worse, so you can get help sooner.
Cambridge, CambridgeshireAges 18 years+ - NCT06374277Recruiting
Pharmacy Coaching to Help After Hospital Stay
This study tests a program where a pharmacist helps you manage your medications after you leave the hospital. It is for people with long-term health conditions who want to stay on track with their medicines.
Knoxville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT06285760Recruiting
Acetazolamide for fluid removal in acute heart failure
This study tests whether adding acetazolamide (a different type of water pill) to your current treatment helps remove extra fluid from your body more effectively when you are in the hospital for heart failure.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for congestion?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 89 recruiting congestion 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 congestion 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 congestion 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.
