Recruiting studies
- NCT07831252Recruiting
Blood pressure and oxygen levels during heart surgery
This study looks at how blood pressure changes during the start of open heart surgery and whether it affects oxygen levels in body tissues. It may help doctors better manage blood pressure during surgery to keep patients safe.

Light therapy for stroke-related muscle stiffness
This study tests a light-based therapy (photobiomodulation) to see if it can help reduce muscle stiffness in people recovering from a stroke. Participants will continue their usual rehabilitation while receiving this additional treatment.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT07747701Recruiting
Monitoring brain blood flow after stroke treatment to predict recovery
This study looks at whether monitoring brain blood flow after a blocked artery is opened can help predict if the treatment will be successful. It may help doctors identify who might need additional help after stroke treatment.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT07729449Recruiting
Predicting headache after cesarean using ultrasound and oxygen monitoring
This trial measures how well two monitoring tools (optic nerve ultrasound and brain oxygen levels) can predict headache after a planned cesarean. It may help find better ways to prevent post-dural puncture headache.
Ordu, AltinorduAges 18–40 - NCT06647901RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
ICG dye imaging for giant cell tumor surgery
This trial uses a special dye (ICG) and a camera to help surgeons see the tumor better during surgery for giant cell tumors of bone in the arms or legs. The goal is to remove all of the tumor while saving as much healthy bone as possible.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT04266574Recruiting
Blood pressure–guided care for older or frail surgical patients
This study tests a goal-based blood pressure treatment approach during major surgery for people at higher risk (often older or frail with high blood pressure). The goal is to see if this BRAIN-targeted strategy can improve how patients do after surgery.
Rozzano, MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06672497Recruiting
Testing a light sensor for muscle health in breast and gynecological cancer patients
This study uses a safe, non-invasive light sensor (near-infrared spectroscopy) to measure how well your muscles use oxygen. Researchers want to learn if this tool can help monitor muscle health in people with breast or gynecological cancer that has not spread to other parts of the body.
Greenville, South CarolinaAges 20 years+ - NCT07654946Recruiting
Taurine supplement and muscle endurance in healthy adults
This study tests whether taking a taurine supplement can help your muscles work longer before getting tired. Researchers will use a light sensor on your leg to see how muscles use oxygen.
Baton Rouge, LouisianaAges 18–40 - NCT07610746Recruiting
Brain Blood Flow in Newborns Exposed to Opioids Before Birth
This study looks at how opioid exposure during pregnancy affects blood flow and brain function in newborns. Researchers will compare babies exposed to opioids in the womb with babies who were not exposed, to better understand how prenatal opioid exposure affects the developing brain.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges Up to 1 day - NCT05847634Recruiting
Testing how deep sedation affects blood flow in ARDS
This study looks at whether giving deep sedation (and sometimes muscle-paralyzing medicines) changes blood flow and oxygen delivery in the brain during acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). It is a pilot study, meaning it mainly aims to understand safety and gather early information.
Winnipeg, ManitobaAges 18 years+ - NCT07559344Recruiting
Hot Baths and Muscle Recovery in Young Athletes
This study tests whether taking hot baths before or after intense exercise helps young track-and-field athletes recover better and triggers natural protective proteins in their muscles. Researchers will measure muscle strength and a cellular protein called HSP70 to see if heat helps the body bounce back from hard workouts.
AmiensAges 19–25 - NCT07499674RecruitingPhase 3
A lung cancer surgery study to test a special imaging dye
This trial tests a dye called abenacianine (VGT-309) that may help surgeons see cancer more clearly during lung surgery. It looks at whether the dye is safe and effective for identifying cancer in people having surgery to remove a lung lesion or mass.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07491315Recruiting
Do ME/CFS patients react differently to exercise?
This study looks at whether people with ME/CFS have a different reaction to exercise compared to people with heart conditions who also feel tired. It involves filling out online questionnaires and may help doctors better understand ME/CFS.
MarseilleAges 18 years+ - NCT07491185Recruiting
How blood sugar control affects brain oxygen and recovery in diabetic surgery patients
This study looks at how well-controlled blood sugar (measured by HbA1c) affects brain oxygen levels during urologic surgery and how it impacts recovery afterward. It compares diabetic patients to non-diabetic patients to understand the role of blood sugar control in surgical outcomes.
IzmirAges 18 years+ - NCT06778603RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Using B7-H3 imaging to guide osteosarcoma surgery
This trial tests a special dye that targets B7-H3, a protein found on osteosarcoma cells. Before your surgery, the dye is injected and helps surgeons see tumor edges more clearly, so they can remove all of the cancer while saving healthy tissue.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–60 - NCT06667167RecruitingPhase 2
First-line Keytruda + chemo then Keytruda + Trodelvy for SCLC
This trial tests a two-step treatment for extensive-stage small cell lung cancer: first, chemotherapy combined with Keytruda (an immunotherapy), followed by Keytruda plus Trodelvy (another targeted drug). The goal is to see if this combination helps people live longer and keeps the cancer under control.
Jerusalem, IsraelAges 18–99 - NCT07396103Recruiting
New approach to reduce breathing pauses in preemies
This study tests a new way to reduce the number of times a preemie baby stops breathing (apnea). It's for babies born early who have apnea but are not on a breathing machine.
Santiago, Santiago MetropolitanAges Up to 4 weeks - NCT06744387Recruiting
Monitoring oxygen in thigh flaps after reconstructive surgery
This trial tests a device that measures oxygen levels in skin flaps used during reconstructive surgery. It may help doctors ensure the flap is healing well after surgery on an arm or leg.
Edegem, AntwerpAges 18 years+ - NCT07295340Recruiting
New imaging dye test for liver cancer detection
This trial tests a special dye that targets liver cancer cells to help surgeons see tumor edges more clearly during surgery. It may help ensure all cancer is removed in one operation.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–80 - NCT07294638Recruiting
New imaging method to find cancer spread in early gastric cancer
This trial tests a new dye that helps surgeons see if early gastric cancer has spread to nearby lymph nodes. It might help guide the extent of surgery needed.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07081308Recruiting
Brain-computer interface with leg supports for stroke recovery
This study tests a brain-computer interface combined with special leg supports (pneumoorthoses) to help people recover leg movement after a stroke. It may be an option if you had a stroke in the upper part of the brain and have mild to moderate leg weakness.

Study how young brains hear rhythms
This study looks at how babies’ brains process rhythm and sound. It may help researchers understand early brain development, especially from premature birth through infancy.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for nirs?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 61 recruiting nirs 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 nirs 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 nirs 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.
