Recruiting studies
- NCT07090941Recruiting
Clot removal for severe basilar artery stroke
This trial tests a procedure to remove a blood clot from the main artery at the back of the brain (basilar artery) in people who have a large stroke. The goal is to see if this treatment can improve recovery even when the stroke damage is bigger than usual.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT07070583Recruiting
Effect of Leg Artery Blockage Treatment on Blood Pressure
This study looks at how treating blocked arteries in the lower belly and groin area affects blood pressure. If you have a long blockage in your main artery or the arteries to your legs that causes pain or trouble walking, this trial may help understand if treatment improves your blood pressure.
ArnhemAges 18 years+ - NCT07073040Recruiting
Cold plasma therapy for diabetic foot ulcers with blocked arteries
This trial tests whether adding cold atmospheric plasma (a gentle gas treatment) to a standard procedure that opens blocked leg arteries can help diabetic foot ulcers heal better and faster.
Anshan, LiaoningAges 18–80 - NCT03353584Recruiting
Virtual reality for pain relief during sickle cell pain crises
This trial tests whether a virtual reality (VR) experience can help reduce pain during a sickle cell “vaso-occlusive crisis,” which is an episode of sudden, severe pain. It’s offered alongside the care team’s usual pain management to see if VR makes pain feel better.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 6–25 - NCT07053631Recruiting
New method to measure skull pressure using an eye vein
This study tests a new way to measure pressure inside the skull by using a small vein near your eye. It is for people who are already having a routine test to check fluid pressure around the brain.
Freiburg im BreisgauAges 18–95 - NCT07047014RecruitingPhase 3
Tenecteplase for medium vessel occlusion stroke (ARTS trial)
This trial tests the clot-busting drug tenecteplase in people who had a stroke 4.5 to 24 hours ago due to a medium-sized artery blockage. It aims to see if this medication can improve outcomes without needing a procedure to remove the clot.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07020858Recruiting
FAPI imaging for heart attack risk in blocked arteries
This trial tests whether a special scan called FAPI-PET can predict heart problems in people with a chronic total occlusion (a completely blocked heart artery for at least 3 months). If you have this type of blockage and are planning to have a procedure to open it, this study may help guide your care.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07001189Recruiting
Numbing for sickle cell pain crisis: a study
This trial tests whether numbing a specific area (regional anesthesia) can reduce inflammation and pain during a sickle cell pain crisis. It may offer a new way to manage severe pain without strong medications.
Pointe-à-PitreAges 18 years+ - NCT07594301RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Minocycline after successful stroke clot removal in the back brain
This study tests whether an antibiotic called minocycline can reduce brain damage after doctors successfully remove a blood clot from the back of the brain (posterior circulation stroke) using a catheter procedure. The drug may help protect brain tissue and improve recovery.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06981624Recruiting
Comparing routine vs. selective heparin to prevent artery blockage after catheter procedure
This trial tests whether giving a blood-thinner called heparin to all patients during a procedure through the wrist (radial artery) is better than giving it only when needed. The goal is to see which approach reduces the risk of the artery getting blocked afterward.
Québec, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT06977009Recruiting
Does tooth grinding relief help with post-dental pain?
This study tests whether reducing a tooth's contact with its opposite tooth before root canal treatment can lower pain after the procedure. It's for people with a dead nerve in a back molar that needs a crown.
Amman, Amman GovernorateAges 18–70 - NCT06963489Recruiting
Stroke biobank study for large vessel blockage
This study collects blood and tissue samples from people who had a stroke caused by a blockage in a large artery in the brain. The goal is to learn more about the condition by studying these samples over time.
Wuhu, AnhuiAges Any age - NCT06959628Recruiting
Study of a new shunt system for carotid artery blockage treatment
This trial tests a special shunt system to protect your brain during carotid artery stenting. It may help people with severe blockages in the neck artery that supplies blood to the brain.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06957613Recruiting
A Registry for Chronic Total Heart Artery Blockages
This study is collecting information on people who have a complete blockage in a heart artery (a chronic total occlusion) and who are scheduled for a procedure to open it up. The goal is to learn more about the treatment and outcomes for these patients.
Bad Segeberg, Schleswig-HolsteinAges 18–100 - NCT07594314RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Minocycline after stroke clot removal surgery
This trial tests whether minocycline, an antibiotic, can reduce brain damage when given after successful clot removal surgery for acute stroke. The goal is to see if this medication helps patients recover better.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT06924593Recruiting
Shunt for carotid artery narrowing
This study tests a new device that is placed through the carotid artery in the neck to temporarily block blood flow during a procedure to open up a narrowed carotid artery. It might be an option for people who have high-risk features that make traditional surgery more challenging.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT07610356Recruiting
Understanding gut blood-flow problems in ICU patients
This study helps doctors better predict and understand a serious condition where the bowel doesn't get enough blood flow while patients are in the ICU. By identifying warning signs early, the research aims to improve diagnosis and treatment decisions.
Tallinn, TallinnAges 18 years+ - NCT06872905Recruiting
Long-term results of a stent used for aortic repair
This study is checking how well a specific stent (VBX) works over time when used in a procedure called CERAB to treat blocked arteries in the lower belly and pelvis. If you had this procedure at least a year ago, your experience could help doctors understand how well this treatment lasts.
Fresno, CaliforniaAges 18–100 - NCT06843356Recruiting
Rescue artery-opening procedure for delayed stroke worsening
This study tests whether an emergency procedure to open a blocked artery in the back of the brain can help people whose stroke starts mild but then suddenly gets worse days later. The goal is to see if this treatment can limit further brain damage and improve recovery.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT06813651RecruitingPhase 2
TBO-309 for stroke with tandem blockage
This trial tests whether adding TBO-309 to standard treatment helps people having a stroke caused by two blockages (one in the neck, one in the brain). It may limit brain damage and improve recovery.
Newcastle, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT06812455RecruitingPhase 4
Rivaroxaban for blood clot after heart catheterization
This trial tests if a blood thinner called Rivaroxaban can treat a blood clot that forms in the wrist artery after a heart catheterization. If you have this clot, taking Rivaroxaban may help reopen the artery and improve blood flow.
ThessalonikiAges 18 years+ - NCT06795763Enrolling by invitation
New imaging & catheter system for blocked heart arteries
This trial tests a new imaging and catheter system to treat chronic total blockages in heart arteries. If you still have chest pain or other symptoms despite medical therapy, this study may help open the blockage and improve blood flow.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06773715Recruiting
Virtual reality for pain from sickle cell disease
This study tests if using virtual reality (VR) can help children and teens with sickle cell disease feel better during a severe pain episode. You would use VR while in the hospital to see if it reduces your pain.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for occlusion?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 318 recruiting occlusion 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 occlusion 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 occlusion 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.
