Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06784674Recruiting
Pregnancy belly shape study for expectant mothers
This study uses MRI to look at how a mother's belly changes during and after pregnancy. It aims to understand normal changes and help plan future healthcare.
Austin, TexasAges 18–54 - NCT06907147Recruiting
Renal denervation for uncontrolled high blood pressure
This trial tests a procedure called renal denervation to lower blood pressure in people whose medication isn't enough. It uses a special catheter to calm nerves near the kidneys that may be overactive.
Tyler, TexasAges 18–80 - NCT06959277Recruiting
Walkasins study for balance with peripheral neuropathy
This trial tests if a wearable device called Walkasins can improve balance and walking in people with peripheral neuropathy. It may help if you have trouble with balance and your foot size fits the device.
Galveston, TexasAges 55 years+ - NCT07046767Recruiting
Amnion grafts for slow-healing leg or foot ulcers
This trial tests if a special graft made from amniotic tissue can help heal chronic leg or foot ulcers that haven't improved much in the last month. It may be an option if you have a non-healing venous leg ulcer or diabetic foot ulcer that still shows some signs of healing.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07116174Recruiting
Testing a new amniotic membrane dressing for diabetic foot ulcers

What taking part in a diabetes study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.

Common questions
- Are there diabetes clinical trials in Texas?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 153 recruiting diabetes studies with a site in Texas, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a diabetes study in Texas?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Texas to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Texas, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a diabetes trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
Not the right time?
New diabetes studies open in Texas regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
