This trial tests a treatment that uses ultrasound to guide a thin tube (catheter) to deliver clot-busting medicine directly into the blood clot in your lung. It may be an option for people whose clot is serious but not yet causing shock, and who have symptoms that started within the last two weeks.
Milan, ItaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT06153667Recruiting
Bearing nsPVA for uterine fibroid embolization (UAE)
This trial tests a new particle material, Bearing nsPVA, for uterine artery embolization (UAE), a procedure that blocks blood flow to fibroids to shrink them and reduce symptoms like heavy bleeding or pain. It aims to see if this material is safe and effective for women with symptomatic fibroids.
Brooklyn, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06163547Recruiting
Brain artery treatment for chronic subdural hematoma
This study tests a new way to treat chronic subdural hematomas (a type of bleeding on the brain) by using a very thin tube to seal off a small artery inside the head. This may help the blood clot shrink without needing a traditional surgery.
GenevaAges 18–100 - NCT06166628Recruiting
Comparing two procedures for knee osteoarthritis pain
This study compares two minimally invasive procedures—embolization (blocking blood flow) and nerve ablation (blocking pain signals)—to see which works better for knee osteoarthritis pain. If you have long-lasting knee pain and are considering knee replacement surgery, this trial may help find another option.
Kingston, OntarioAges 40 years+ - NCT06207851Recruiting
Micro-embolization for chronic elbow or wrist pain
This trial tests a minimally invasive procedure called TAME that uses tiny beads to block small blood vessels in the elbow or wrist, which may reduce chronic pain. It's for people whose pain hasn't improved with other treatments.
Seoul, Kwang Jin GuAges 19–80 - NCT06228677Recruiting
Catecholamine levels during adrenal artery embolization
This trial measures hormone levels in blood during a procedure to treat high blood pressure caused by an adrenal gland problem. It may help doctors understand how the body responds during treatment.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18 years+ - NCT06292585Recruiting
Blocking the artery to treat epidural hematoma
This trial tests a new way to treat a blood clot outside the brain (epidural hematoma) after a head injury. Instead of surgery, doctors use a thin tube to block the artery feeding the clot, which may help the body absorb the clot more safely.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06320236Recruiting
Emergency study on testing for blood clots in the lungs
This study looks at how doctors decide to test for pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in the lungs) in the emergency department. It helps understand what factors lead to testing, which could improve care for future patients.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07559630Recruiting
Artery Blocking vs Rubber Bands for Internal Hemorrhoids
This trial compares two treatment methods for internal hemorrhoids that haven't improved with diet, fiber, or creams. One method blocks blood flow to the hemorrhoids using a catheter (a thin tube); the other uses rubber bands to cut off blood supply. Both are minimally invasive procedures.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–89 - NCT06347796Recruiting
Embolization vs surgery for chronic subdural hematoma
This trial compares a newer, less invasive treatment (embolization) with traditional surgery to treat chronic subdural hematoma (a slow bleed on the brain). It aims to see which approach works better and has fewer side effects.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 40–90 - NCT06362746RecruitingPhase 3
Staphylokinase for intermediate high-risk pulmonary embolism
This trial tests a new drug, staphylokinase, to see if it can break up blood clots in the lungs in people with a moderate-high risk pulmonary embolism. The goal is to improve blood flow and reduce the chance of complications.
Barnaul, Altayskiy KrayAges 18 years+ - NCT06372730Recruiting
Predicting blood clot return after stopping blood thinners
This study uses a special 3D lung scan (V/Q SPECT/CT) to see if leftover blockages in your lungs can predict if another blood clot will come back. You may be eligible if your doctor has decided it's safe to stop your blood thinners after 3 to 6 months of treatment for a first blood clot.
Amiens, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT06446778Recruiting
Pipeline device for brain aneurysms
This trial tests a treatment called Pipeline Embolization (a thin tube placed in the artery) to fix brain aneurysms that haven't ruptured. It might help stop the aneurysm from growing or bursting.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 22–75 - NCT06477965Recruiting
Registry for artery embolization to treat chronic pain
This is a registry study that gathers information from people who have had an artery embolization procedure to treat long-term pain from conditions such as arthritis. The goal is to track outcomes and better understand the procedure's effectiveness.
Cary, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06480994Recruiting
Testing a new tool to help diagnose blood clots
This trial tests a new computer tool that helps doctors decide whether you likely have a blood clot in your leg or lung. If you have symptoms and are not already on blood thinners, you may be able to join.
Niort, SartresAges 18 years+ - NCT06513676Recruiting
Adrenal artery treatment for aldosteronism study
This study tests a procedure that blocks tiny arteries in the adrenal gland to treat high blood pressure and low potassium caused by aldosteronism. It may be an option if you cannot take medications or cannot have surgery.
Ürümqi, XinjiangAges 18–60 - NCT06514716Recruiting
Steroid shot vs. standard procedure for knee arthritis
This study tests whether a corticosteroid shot (a strong anti-inflammatory medicine) into the knee joint works better than the standard GAE procedure for people with knee osteoarthritis. It aims to see which approach provides better pain relief and function.
ZagazigAges 18–80 - NCT06541353Recruiting
