Cle-pad study: Checking leg artery health in spine surgery patients

Test saliva or blood markers to track kidney and leg disease treatment
This study looks at a gene marker (“lncRNA,” a natural molecule in the body) to see how well an oral absorbent, with or without probiotics, is helping people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who also have blocked leg arteries. It may help doctors better measure treatment impact and tailor care.
Taipei, TaiwanAges 20 years+ - NCT07723586Recruiting
TENS vs Ultrasound for mechanical neck pain
This trial compares two common treatments—TENS (a device that uses mild electrical pulses) and ultrasound therapy—along with neck exercises for long-lasting neck pain. You would get one of these treatments for several weeks to see which helps your pain more.
Karachi, SindhAges 18–45 - NCT07281599Recruiting
Using a pad to screen for cervical precancer
This trial tests whether a special pad you wear during your period can detect signs of cervical precancer. If you are already scheduled for a colposcopy due to an abnormal Pap or HPV test, you might be able to participate.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 25 years+ - NCT05425810Recruiting
Smart tool to help check prosthetic socket fit
This study tests an easy-to-use smart system (called ENABLE) that helps assess whether a prosthetic socket fits your leg well. It may help improve comfort and reduce skin problems by making sure the socket fit is assessed in a consistent, affordable way.
Raleigh, North CarolinaAges 18–99 - NCT06621264Recruiting
Exercise study to improve walking in kidney and artery disease
This trial tests whether a supervised exercise program can help people with chronic kidney disease and peripheral artery disease walk better and feel stronger. It aims to improve mobility and quality of life.
Ferrara, ItalyAges 18–80 - NCT06781892Recruiting
Defibrillation strategies for cardiac arrest outside the hospital
This trial tests different ways of using defibrillators to restart the heart in people who have a cardiac arrest outside a hospital. It compares two defibrillator machines used together to see if one approach works better for shockable heart rhythms.
AalborgAges 18 years+ - NCT06790277Recruiting
Foam cushion study for heart surgery patients
This trial tests a special foam cushion for heart surgery patients, to see if it helps prevent pressure sores. You may be able to join if you are at risk for pressure sores but do not have any yet.
Mecca, Western ReaganAges 18 years+ - NCT06968780Recruiting
Comparing two gum grafts for dental implants in the upper jaw
This trial compares two surgical techniques using tissue from the cheek or the roof of the mouth to improve gum health around special implants placed in the cheekbone. It may be an option if you have severe bone loss in your upper jaw and need implants but don't have enough bone for standard ones.
Cairo, Giza GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT07130526Recruiting
Distrupt Stiffness: studying a new treatment for hardened leg arteries
This trial tests a new approach to treat severe, hardened blockages in the leg arteries. It may help people with painful leg symptoms or wounds that won't heal.
Essen, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18–85 - NCT07261982Recruiting
Pressure Pad vs Bandage for Snake Bite First Aid
This trial compares two methods of immobilizing a snake bite: a pressure pad versus a pressure bandage. It uses a harmless radioactive tracer in healthy volunteers to see which method works better.
Hyde Park, QueenslandAges 18 years+ - NCT07408921Recruiting
Ice or Warm Pack for Drain Removal Comfort
This study tests whether putting an ice pack or a warm gel pad on your skin before pulling out a surgical drain can lower anxiety and pain, and make you more comfortable. It is designed for people who had open urological surgery and have one drain that needs to be removed.
Mersin, TurkeyAges 18 years+ - NCT05145478Recruiting
Real-world outcomes after Shockwave treatment for blocked leg artery
This study follows what happens in real life after using Shockwave’s device (intravascular lithotripsy) to treat a hard, calcified blockage in the common femoral artery, then completing standard treatment. It may help doctors understand which patients benefit and what results to expect.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT06971601Recruiting
Testing physical exams for kneecap fat pad syndrome
This study aims to find out if simple physical exam tests can accurately diagnose impingement of the fat pad behind the kneecap. You would get a clinical exam and an MRl to compare the results, so researchers can see which tests best identify the problem.
Saint-MauriceAges 18–70 - NCT05345431Recruiting
Check whether a leg-artery nerve procedure helps poor circulation
This trial looks at whether endovascular denervation (a catheter-based nerve-targeting procedure inside blood vessels) can improve symptoms and circulation in people with peripheral arterial disease (PAD). It may help if you have PAD that causes walking problems or ongoing lower-leg symptoms.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT06798623RecruitingPhase 1
ACL repair with stem cells from your own knee fat
This trial tests whether adding stem cells from your knee fat pad to a standard ACL reconstruction helps you heal better. It is for Houston Methodist patients who can do physical therapy there and meet basic health requirements.

Drug-coated balloon for leg artery blockages below the knee
This trial tests a special balloon coated with sirolimus (a drug that helps prevent arteries from re-closing) versus a standard balloon for opening blocked arteries below the knee in people with severe leg pain or foot wounds. The goal is to see if the drug-coated balloon works better to keep the artery open longer.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for pad?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 83 recruiting pad 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 pad 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 pad 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.
