Recruiting studies
- NCT03504800Recruiting
Using OCT scans to diagnose irregular corneas
This study tests whether a special eye scan called OCT can better identify causes of irregular cornea shape. Results may help doctors sort out different cornea problems so treatment choices, like certain procedures, can be more targeted.
Portland, OregonAges 14–85 - NCT03761381Recruiting
Eye scan study for mild Alzheimer’s and memory changes
This study uses detailed eye imaging (an eye scan) to look for signs related to probable Alzheimer’s disease and mild dementia. It may help researchers understand whether eye scans can reflect brain changes and improve detection.
Portland, OregonAges 55 years+ - NCT06311617Recruiting
Eye Blood Vessel Changes During Pregnancy
This observational study monitors changes in the blood vessels of your retina (the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye) during pregnancy. Researchers want to see how pregnancy affects the eyes, which might help better understand overall health.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT06295471Recruiting
Comparing pain and healing after two laser treatments on thighs
This study compares two types of lasers (a new DFG laser and a standard CO2 laser) to see which one causes less pain and helps your skin heal better after a fractional laser treatment on your thighs. If you're looking to improve skin texture or reduce signs of aging, this might be an option.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06182683Recruiting
OCT-Guided vs. FFR-Guided Stent Placement in Heart Disease
This trial compares two imaging and pressure tests used during stent placement to see which helps improve blood flow better in people with chest pain or a recent heart attack.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT03713268Recruiting
Using a scan to guide eye surgery in real time
This trial tests whether a special eye scan (OCT) can help guide eye surgery during the operation. It may improve how surgeons see and target the exact eye structures they need to treat.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 4 weeks+ - NCT05558059Recruiting
Scan blood vessels in preemie babies’ eyes with special imaging
This study uses pictures to map the tiny blood vessels in an infant’s retina (the back of the eye). It may help researchers better understand how eye blood vessel growth happens in premature babies who need screening for ROP (retinopathy of prematurity).
Durham, North CarolinaAges Up to 2 months - NCT06167642Enrolling by invitation
Retinal health and nerve markers in MS patients taking ofatumumab
This study looks at how ofatumumab (Kesimpta) affects the back of the eye (retina) and certain nerve proteins in the blood in people with relapsing multiple sclerosis. It may help doctors understand how well the medication is protecting the eyes and nerves.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–70 - NCT05706220Enrolling by invitation
Eye tests to measure visual speed in multiple sclerosis
This study tests how fast and how accurately your eyes process visual information and how eye movements look in people with multiple sclerosis. It may help researchers understand vision-related effects of MS using objective eye measurements.
Valladolid, ValladolidAges 18–80 - NCT04434586Recruiting
Imaging test to guide treatment of blocked thigh arteries
This study tests whether a detailed eye-like scan (optical coherence tomography) helps doctors choose better treatment for blockages in the thigh-to-knee artery. It may help improve healing and outcomes by guiding how the procedure is done.
LilleAges 18 years+ - NCT04743362Recruiting
Noninvasive scans for skin and mouth lesions
This trial tests noninvasive imaging methods to look at skin and mouth (mucosal) conditions. It may help doctors better see changes in these areas without taking tissue samples.
New York, New YorkAges Any age - NCT04505618Recruiting
Eye scan study using special imaging for blood-vessel disease
This study uses a detailed eye scan (optical coherence tomography angiography) to look at how blood vessels in the retina are affected. It may help researchers better understand retinal vascular diseases, though some people will be excluded for safety or image-quality reasons.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–99 - NCT03752840Recruiting
Community eye-worker program in Nepal
This trial tests a village-based approach to bring eye care closer to older community members. If you live in the right area and are willing to participate, it may help improve access to eye screening and services.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 60 years+ - NCT03030755Recruiting
Imaging test and personalized modeling for keratoconus
This trial uses special eye imaging to measure how your cornea (the eye’s clear front surface) changes, and then builds a personalized model for you. It may help doctors plan safer, more tailored treatment for keratoconus—especially if you’re considering LASIK.
Cleveland, OhioAges 16–80 - NCT01746537Recruiting
Eye imaging test in people with uveitis
This study uses a special eye scan (optical coherence tomography) to look at inflammation in the front part of the eye. It may help doctors better measure uveitis activity and guide care by improving how inflammation is seen on scans.
Cleveland, OhioAges Any age - NCT02132741Recruiting
Eye imaging study in people with kidney disease
This study uses a painless eye scan to learn more about how kidney disease may be linked to eye changes. It may help improve understanding and future care for people with chronic kidney disease and/or high blood pressure.
Edinburgh, MidlothianAges 18–80 - NCT03820492Recruiting
Testing imaging tools to assess a narrowed left main artery
This trial compares different heart scans to decide how serious a narrowing is in the left main coronary artery. It may help doctors choose the safest and most accurate way to manage that blockage during a heart catheter procedure.
Clermont-FerrandAges 18 years+ - NCT06692751Recruiting
Eye scan for microvascular angina
This study tests if a non-invasive eye scan (OCT-A) can detect changes in tiny blood vessels in the retina of people with chest pain caused by problems with the heart's small arteries (microvascular angina). If it works, it could be a simpler way to diagnose this condition.
DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT06227754Recruiting
OCT vs. angiography for heart attack treatment
This trial compares two ways to guide treatment during a heart attack: using a special camera (OCT) inside the artery or standard X-ray (angiography). It aims to see which method leads to better results for patients.
Daegu, DaeguAges 19 years+ - NCT03694626Recruiting
Test a light-response study to measure and track light sensitivity
This study aims to objectively measure how your pupils respond to light and how your eye muscles react using recording tests. It may help confirm the cause of light sensitivity (especially after a brain injury) and better track how it responds to care.
Iowa City, IowaAges 18–80

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for optical coherence tomography?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 92 recruiting optical coherence tomography 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 optical coherence tomography 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 optical coherence tomography 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.
