Recruiting studies
- NCT06166329Recruiting
Chair lift test for pulmonary embolism prognosis
This study checks if a simple chair lift test can help predict recovery in patients with a blood clot in the lung (pulmonary embolism) who are not critically ill. It aims to find out if this test can help doctors decide on the best follow-up care.
RouenAges 18 years+ - NCT07491094Recruiting
Repeat scans for monitoring pulmonary embolism
This trial is testing if repeated imaging can help monitor blood clots in the lungs (pulmonary embolism) over time. It may help doctors know how well treatment is working and if further care is needed.
Gothenburg, Region Västra GötalandAges 18 years+ - NCT06348459Recruiting
Catheter treatment for severe pulmonary embolism
This study looks at how well a catheter (a thin tube) works to treat a serious type of blood clot in the lungs. It is for people who have a large clot that is causing problems like fast heart rate or low blood pressure.
Madrid, MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT07029841Recruiting
Catheter therapy study for acute pulmonary embolism patients
This study follows patients in Hong Kong who are treated with catheter-based therapy for acute pulmonary embolism. It aims to understand how well this treatment works.
Hong Kong, Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT07310316Recruiting
A trial for variceal bleeding in cavernous transformation of portal vein
This study tests a combined procedure to stop bleeding from enlarged veins in the food pipe (varices) in people with a rare condition called cavernous transformation of the portal vein. The treatment involves blocking the bleeding veins and reducing blood flow to the spleen to prevent future bleeding.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–75 - NCT04263038RecruitingPhase 4
Watchful waiting versus blood thinners for small lung clots
This trial compares close monitoring (“watch and wait”) versus taking the blood thinner rivaroxaban in people with a small type of lung blood clot. It aims to find out whether low-risk patients can safely avoid or reduce anticoagulation while still staying healthy.
Woluwe-Saint-Lambert, Brussels CapitalAges 18 years+ - NCT07282301Recruiting
Filter to catch debris during leg artery cleaning
This trial tests a special filter that catches debris during a procedure to clear blockages in the leg artery (the one behind the knee). It aims to reduce the risk of debris traveling to smaller blood vessels, which can cause complications. If you have a hardened leg artery and plan to have plaque removal before a stent or balloon, this study may be for you.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06848166RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Middle meningeal artery embolization for resistant chronic migraine
This study tests a procedure called 'middle meningeal artery embolization' using a special glue-like material (SQUID) to treat chronic migraine that hasn't responded to other treatments. The goal is to see if blocking blood flow to the membrane around the brain can reduce migraine attacks.
Bishkek, BishkekAges 35–59 - NCT06735976Recruiting
Safety and effectiveness of LOBO device for PAVM treatment
This study tests a new device (LOBO™) to block abnormal blood vessels in the lungs called PAVMs. It is for people with HHT or similar conditions, and the device is placed into the vessel to reduce the risk of stroke or bleeding. You may be able to join if you have a suitable PAVM that is large enough and you are not taking blood thinners.
Chapel Hill, North CarolinaAges 14 years+ - NCT06560294Recruiting
Glue injection vs watchful waiting for pelvic congestion syndrome
This trial compares a new glue injection treatment (embolization) with no active treatment for pelvic congestion syndrome. It aims to see if the glue procedure reduces pelvic pain and varicose veins better than just monitoring symptoms.
Tanta, ElGharbiaAges 30–50 - NCT07715656Recruiting
Middle-meningeal-artery embolization for chronic subdural hematoma
This trial studies a procedure called middle-meningeal-artery embolization, which blocks the blood supply to a chronic subdural hematoma (a slow-growing blood collection around the brain). It compares outcomes in people with one-sided versus both-sided bleeds, and aims to see if this less invasive treatment can help reduce the need for surgery or improve recovery.
Burlington, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07499661Recruiting
Study of blood clots in the lungs with heart failure
This study looks at whether a blood clot in the lungs (pulmonary embolism) is a hidden cause in patients who are hospitalized for acute heart failure. It involves additional imaging tests to find a clot if present, which could change your treatment.
AgenAges 18 years+ - NCT04084938Recruiting
Clot-blocking treatment versus surgery for enlarged prostate
This trial compares artery embolization (blocking blood flow to the prostate) with standard surgery for urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate. It may help patients who have moderate-to-severe bladder outlet symptoms and are looking for a treatment option when medicine didn’t work (or they don’t want medicine).
OsloAges Any age - NCT05629130Recruiting
Blocking blood vessel procedures for bleeding-related joint inflammation
This study looks at whether a “blocking” procedure (embolization) can improve long-lasting joint inflammation caused by inherited bleeding disorders. It focuses on people with joint lining inflammation from repeated bleeding into the joint.
São PauloAges Any age - NCT06095050Recruiting
Embolization for chronic shoulder pain
This trial tests a procedure called embolization to treat long-lasting shoulder pain that hasn't improved with other treatments like physical therapy or injections. The goal is to see if blocking certain blood vessels can reduce pain and improve function.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 21–80 - NCT06466330Recruiting
Knee embolization for post-replacement pain
This trial tests a non-surgical treatment called microparticle geniculate artery embolization for people with persistent knee pain after a total knee replacement. It aims to reduce pain by blocking tiny blood vessels that may be causing inflammation.
CréteilAges 40–80 - NCT06479343Recruiting
Liquid embolic for brain vessel malformations
This trial tests a new liquid material (called a liquid embolic system) that is injected into the abnormal blood vessels in the brain to block them off. It is for people who have a cerebrovascular malformation and can be treated with a catheter from inside the blood vessel.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT06513585Recruiting
Two treatments for primary aldosteronism: embolization vs. surgery
This study compares two treatments for primary aldosteronism (a condition causing high blood pressure due to an adrenal gland issue). One treatment is a minimally invasive procedure called superselective embolization, and the other is keyhole surgery. This trial aims to see which is better and safer for patients.

Clot removal for acute pulmonary embolism with heart strain
This study tests a new device (AlphaVac) that removes blood clots from the lungs using a thin tube inserted through a vein. It may be an option for people with acute pulmonary embolism who have signs of heart strain or low blood pressure.
PoznanAges 18 years+ - NCT07241884Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for embolization?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 264 recruiting embolization 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 embolization 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 embolization 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.
