Recruiting studies
- NCT07562334Recruiting
Cheekbone Implants With Two Tissue Coverage Methods
This trial compares two ways to cover and support cheekbone implants (zygomatic implants) in patients with severe upper jaw bone loss. The study tests whether a natural fat pad from your cheek or a special fibrin product (made from your own blood) works better to protect the implant and keep soft tissue thickness stable.
Cairo, Cairo GovernorateAges Any age - NCT07318610RecruitingPhase 3
Study of a new blood thinner in people with leg artery disease

BalatonfüredAges 40 years+ - NCT06657976RecruitingPhase 2
Beetroot juice and exercise for PAD
This study tests whether beetroot juice, which contains natural nitrates that help blood vessels relax, combined with exercise, can improve walking ability in people with peripheral artery disease (PAD). You might be able to join if you have PAD, can walk without a walker, and are willing to avoid beet products for a while.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 50 years+ - NCT03042988Recruiting
Heat stress test in people with low nerve control and high blood pressure
This study checks how your body’s blood pressure and stress responses change after being exposed to heat overnight. It’s meant for people with autonomic failure (like certain Parkinson-related or nerve-function conditions) who also have high blood pressure while lying down, which may help researchers understand safer ways to manage it.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18–80 - NCT07702916Enrolling by invitation
Hygiene and menstruation study for girls in Madagascar
This trial looks at how hygiene and menstrual health programs affect learning and emotional well-being. If you are a girl in the Kilonga 2 study, you may be asked to complete surveys and some tests, and possibly provide saliva or blood samples.

Lifestyle weight-loss program for people with PAD to stay mobile
This trial tests whether a healthy-lifestyle weight-loss program can help people with peripheral artery disease (PAD) lose weight and prevent worsening mobility. You may be eligible if you have PAD based on specific leg blood-flow test results and a higher body weight.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT04252950Recruiting
Exercise program after blood-flow procedures for leg artery disease
This study tests whether a community-based exercise program helps people recover and improve walking after a procedure to restore blood flow in the leg arteries. It may help if your main problem is leg circulation problems and you’re able to take part in exercise safely.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 40–90 - NCT04363541Recruiting
Thermotherapy for mild to moderate COVID-19 symptoms
This trial studies whether local heat treatment (thermotherapy) can improve outcomes for people with mild to moderate COVID-19. It’s designed for people early in their illness (within 5 days) who still have good oxygen levels.
Guadalajara, JaliscoAges 18 years+ - NCT04794530RecruitingPhase 3
Cocoa extract trial for walking problems in blocked leg arteries
This Phase 3 study tests whether cocoa extract (cocoa flavanols) can improve walking ability and circulation in people with peripheral artery disease (PAD). It may help people who have PAD-related walking limits and can safely avoid competing cocoa sources and caffeine.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 55 years+ - NCT04889105Recruiting
Exercise coaching for leg artery disease using a phone app
This study tests whether a phone-based program can help improve walking in Veterans with peripheral artery disease (PAD) by guiding regular exercise. It aims to reduce leg symptoms by making walking practice safer and easier to stick with.
Decatur, GeorgiaAges 40 years+ - NCT05134311Recruiting
3D ultrasound check for blood-flow problems in wound care
This study tests whether a 3D ultrasound scan can better assess blood-flow problems that may affect healing in the wound clinic. If you’re already scheduled for an ultrasound evaluation at the wound center, the trial may use an additional 3D ultrasound approach to help doctors understand your circulation.
Lake Success, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05612945Recruiting
High-intensity versus easier walking exercise for PAD symptoms
This study tests whether harder interval exercise works better than easier, moderate exercise to improve walking symptoms in people with peripheral artery disease (PAD). It may help you compare which exercise level improves your ability to walk comfortably.
Lausanne, Canton of VaudAges 18 years+ - NCT05624125Recruiting
Beetroot juice study for circulation problems in leg arteries
This trial tests whether drinking beetroot juice can improve how well people with peripheral artery disease (PAD) can function and walk. It’s looking at circulation-related measurements in the legs and how you do on walking tests.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 50 years+ - NCT05790031Recruiting
Night brace with smart padding for teenage scoliosis
This trial tests an intelligent nighttime brace with sensors and smart padding to help teens with early scoliosis straighten or stop it from worsening. You may be asked to wear the brace at night and complete tests to track curve changes and comfort.
Hong KongAges 10–13 - NCT05916950Recruiting
Study of a new treatment for blocked leg arteries
This trial studies a device-based treatment approach for people with blocked (narrowed or fully blocked) arteries in the thigh or behind the knee that reduce blood flow to the leg. It may help improve blood flow and walking ability, but you must meet specific artery and imaging requirements.
St. Helena, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06032065RecruitingPhase 3
Exercise for peripheral artery disease
This trial tests whether a home-based exercise program is as effective as supervised exercise for improving walking ability in people with peripheral artery disease (PAD). You will be randomly assigned to one of two exercise groups, and you may be asked to drink beetroot juice as part of the study.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 50 years+ - NCT06237621Recruiting
Using a special camera to check leg circulation
This study tests a special camera (SnapshotNIR) that takes pictures of blood flow in your legs while you move them into different positions. It may help doctors better understand your circulation and diagnose peripheral artery disease (PAD) without needles or dye.
San Antonio, TexasAges 35–99 - NCT06239909Recruiting
Adjustable sphincter for urine leakage after prostate surgery
This trial is testing an adjustable artificial sphincter called Victo to help men who leak urine after prostate surgery. It may improve bladder control and quality of life.

Vibrating pad for apnea in very premature babies
This trial is testing a special vibrating pad (Prapela®) placed in the incubator to see if it can help reduce apnea episodes (pauses in breathing) in very premature babies. It is for babies who are already getting caffeine medicine and need only minimal extra breathing support.

Fisetin for better walking in peripheral artery disease
This study tests whether a supplement called fisetin can help reduce leg pain and improve walking ability in people with peripheral artery disease (PAD). If you have PAD and are 50 or older, you may be able to join and help see if fisetin can make walking easier.

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.
