Checking if early skull surgery helps after a major stroke
This study looks at whether doing a surgery to remove part of the skull (decompressive hemicraniectomy) soon after removing a large blood clot from the brain helps people who have had a very severe stroke. It is for people who have had a stroke caused by a blockage in a major artery and have already had a procedure to open that artery.

This trial tests whether Kinesio taping, a special type of elastic tape, can reduce long-term swelling in the breast or upper body (trunk) after breast cancer treatment. If you have had breast cancer and still have swelling lasting more than six months, this study may help find a new way to manage that swelling.

São Paulo, São PauloAges 18–60 - NCT07019896Recruiting
Minimal surgery for epiretinal membrane
This trial tests a minimally invasive surgery for people with an epiretinal membrane, a thin layer of scar tissue on the retina that can blur or distort vision. The goal is to see if a smaller, less invasive approach is safe and effective.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07006610Recruiting
Tape or cooling therapy for jaw surgery recovery
This study tests whether cooling with a hilotherapy device or taping with kinesio tape helps reduce swelling and pain after double-jaw surgery. Results may lead to a gentler recovery for you.
Istanbul, BağcılarAges 18–50 - NCT07002372Recruiting
Watching a video before your first eye injection

Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06984822Recruiting
Comparing eye injections for diabetic macular edema
This study compares two different eye injection treatments for diabetic macular edema (DME)—a condition where fluid builds up in the center of the retina, blurring vision. Researchers want to see how certain measures in the blood and in eye scans relate to how well each treatment works.
MölndalAges 18 years+ - NCT06923267Recruiting
Ultrasound to check heart function during breathing trials
This trial tests if using ultrasound to monitor your heart during a breathing test can help predict if you will need the breathing tube again. It is for people on a ventilator for at least 24 hours who are at higher risk of needing the tube reinserted.
OrléansAges 18 years+ - NCT06900023Enrolling by invitation
Studying better ways to find breast swelling after cancer treatment
This trial looks at new tools to detect lymphedema (breast or arm swelling) after breast cancer treatment. If you had breast-conserving surgery, radiation, and have finished active therapy (except certain hormone treatments), researchers want to see if a simple device can spot fluid buildup early.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06872034Recruiting
Can Venostan reduce swelling after ankle fracture surgery?
This trial tests an oral medication called Venostan to see if it helps reduce swelling after ankle fracture surgery. If you have a broken ankle and are planning to have surgery to fix it, this study may be a good fit.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06785246Enrolling by invitation
Grasshopper dashboard study for chest x-rays
This trial tests a new dashboard tool for radiologists to review chest x-rays ordered during emergency or hospital stays. It aims to improve how scan results are reported and used.
Pleasanton, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT06779890RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing anesthesia types for brain tumor surgery
This trial compares two types of anesthesia (gas vs. IV) during brain tumor surgery to see which one better protects the brain and helps with thinking and memory after the operation.
ThessalonikiAges 18–80 - NCT06701721RecruitingPhase 1
Study of THN391 eye injection for diabetic macular edema
This trial tests an experimental eye injection called THN391 for people with diabetic macular edema, a condition that causes vision loss due to swelling in the back of the eye. The study aims to see if the treatment is safe and may help improve vision.
Parramatta, New South WalesAges 18–80 - NCT06702670RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Anticholinergics for cervical edema in labor
This trial tests if a medication (diphenhydramine) can help reduce swelling in the cervix during labor for first-time mothers. It may make labor progress more smoothly.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06686251Recruiting
AI assistant for reading chest X-rays in breathing problems
This study tests a computer program that helps doctors read chest X-rays faster and more accurately. It is for adults who had an X-ray because of breathing problems like a cough or fever.
Curitiba, ParanáAges 18 years+ - NCT06670521RecruitingPhase 2
Steroids for swallowing problems after breathing tube removal
This trial tests a steroid medication (corticosteroids) to reduce swelling in the voice box after a breathing tube is taken out. It may help improve swallowing and reduce the risk of food or drink going into the lungs.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT06549023Recruiting
One session vs multiple sessions of laser for diabetic eye disease
This study compares having laser treatment for diabetic eye disease in one session versus spreading it over multiple sessions. The goal is to find out if one approach is better for your eyes and easier for you.
MölndalAges 18 years+ - NCT06538376Recruiting
New portable chest X-ray for ICU patients
This study tests a new portable chest X-ray that can be used in the ICU to check for problems like fluid in the lungs, trouble breathing, or swallowing issues. It is designed to help doctors see these problems more easily without moving you to the radiology department.

Personalized water pill dosing support for kidney and fluid overload
This trial tests a decision-support tool to help your care team safely adjust water pills (“diuretics”) when you have kidney disease and fluid buildup. It may help reduce swelling by guiding dosing using your home weight and blood pressure.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06361537RecruitingPhase 3
Study of a C1 inhibitor medicine for HAE attacks
This trial tests a plasma-derived C1 esterase inhibitor to treat and prevent acute attacks in people with hereditary angioedema (HAE) types 1 or 2. It aims to see if the medicine can quickly relieve swelling episodes and reduce their frequency.
Centennial, ColoradoAges 2 years+ - NCT06040268RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Advair study for HAPE risk and healthy volunteers
This trial tests if Advair HFA affects how likely someone is to develop High Altitude Pulmonary Edema (HAPE), a serious lung condition at high altitudes. It compares people who are prone to HAPE, those who are resistant, and healthy controls.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–50 - NCT06261346Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for edema?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 125 recruiting edema 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 edema 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 edema 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.
