Recruiting studies
- NCT06994494Recruiting
Noninvasive blood pressure monitoring for newborns using light sensors
This trial tests a new noninvasive method to monitor blood pressure in newborns using light sensors on the scalp. It aims to understand if this device, called FlexNIRS, can accurately track blood pressure without needing an arterial line or frequent cuff measurements.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 6 months–10 months - NCT06972771Recruiting
Imaging to help find bladder cancer during surgery
This trial tests a special imaging dye that lights up bladder cancer during surgery, helping doctors see and remove it more precisely. It may help ensure all cancer is removed while sparing healthy tissue.
Kunming, YunnanAges 18–80 - NCT04270734Recruiting
Brain-wave study of hearing timing from babyhood to adulthood
This study looks at brain activity (brain waves) when babies hear sounds with timing, and how that changes with age. It may help researchers understand early brain development in hearing and processing sounds.
AmiensAges birth–1 day - NCT06910228Enrolling by invitation
Brain oxygen changes during spine surgery position shifts
This study measures how your child's brain oxygen levels change when they are repositioned during spine surgery. It may help make surgeries safer for teens and young adults.
Columbus, OhioAges 10–21 - NCT04864171Recruiting
Registry to study heart vessel imaging with a special light test
This registry collects images of coronary artery blockages during a routine heart procedure. It uses a special light-based imaging scan to help researchers understand how well the test shows artery lesions.
MiyazakiAges 20–95 - NCT05985525Recruiting
Monitoring blood flow in ICU patients with severe infection or shock
This study monitors tiny blood vessels under the tongue using a non-invasive device to see how well blood flows in ICU patients on a breathing machine. Researchers hope to improve care for patients with serious infections or shock.
Winnipeg, ManitobaAges 18 years+ - NCT06511037RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Dye injection to help see cancer during belly surgery
This study tests a special dye, called pafolacianine, that is injected before surgery to help surgeons see hidden cancer spots in the belly during the operation. The goal is to see if using this dye improves how completely the cancer is removed in people with gastrointestinal cancer that has spread to the belly lining.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06421987Recruiting
Heart, lung, and brain function in Hodgkin lymphoma survivors
This study looks at how heart, lung, and brain blood flow are affected in adults who survived Hodgkin lymphoma as children. It compares survivors who had certain treatments to healthy volunteers.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT03097575RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Imaging-guided lung surgery using special near-infrared light
This trial tests whether using special near-infrared imaging can help surgeons better guide lung tumor removal during minimally invasive or open chest surgery. It may improve how accurately the surgical area is identified during the operation.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05410340Enrolling by invitation
EEG and near-infrared testing in newborns
This study checks how newborn brains respond by using painless sensors on the head. It focuses on babies during their first month after birth, to help researchers understand early brain function and development.
Salamanca, SalamancaAges 1 week–1 month - NCT04061148Recruiting
Near-infrared testing to assess depression
This study uses a near-infrared light test to measure things related to depression. It includes people without depression and people diagnosed with major depressive disorder receiving care at UCSF/SFVAMC, to see how well the test fits with depression status.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT02601339Recruiting
NIRS monitoring in premature babies with brain fluid problems
This study uses a special light-based monitor (NIRS) to track blood flow in the brain of premature infants. It compares babies in different conditions related to bleeding, fluid buildup, or other brain fluid changes to help doctors understand what monitoring can show.
Boston, MassachusettsAges birth–1 year - NCT02368041Recruiting
Near-infrared scan test in children with heart failure
This study tests whether a near-infrared “light scan” on the hand can help doctors in children with heart failure who are stable on their usual medications. It may give additional information about blood flow and circulation in the body without using invasive procedures.
Gainesville, FloridaAges Up to 25 years

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.
