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 - NCT06933992Enrolling by invitation
Chocolate balloon for blocked leg arteries
This trial tests a special balloon called the Chocolate Balloon Catheter to open blocked leg arteries. It may help people with peripheral artery disease avoid more invasive surgery.
HangzhouAges 18–80 - NCT06631378Recruiting
Groin incision direction study for vascular surgery patients
This trial compares two different ways of making an incision (cut) in the groin during blood vessel surgery. It aims to find out if one direction leads to better healing or fewer complications.
KoldingAges Any age - NCT06828172Enrolling by invitation
Arm crank exercise study for people with or without PAD
This study compares how arm crank exercise affects the body in people with and without peripheral artery disease (PAD). It aims to understand how the body responds to this type of exercise, which may help guide future rehabilitation.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 50 years+ - 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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for pad?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 79 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.
