Kidney preservation with or without machine perfusion
This study compares two ways of preserving kidneys from older or less healthy donors before transplant – one using a machine that pumps fluid through the kidney, and one without. It may help improve how well these kidneys work after transplant.
Bergamo, BGAges 50 years+ - NCT04882488Recruiting
Testing heart scan measurements in severe aortic valve narrowing
This trial compares two pressure-based measurements of blood flow in the coronary arteries with a PET heart scan in people with severe aortic valve stenosis. It may help doctors choose the most accurate way to assess blood flow and guide care during valve treatment.
Bad Oeynhausen, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 65 years+ - NCT07613632Recruiting
Lung Blood Flow Changes After Vein Graft Repair
This study measures how blood flow and oxygen distribution in your lungs change after a procedure to unclog a dialysis access graft. Researchers use painless electrode patches on your chest to track these changes and better understand how the procedure affects your breathing.
WuhuAges 18 years+ - NCT07578441Enrolling by invitation
VitaSmart HOPE System liver transplant registry
This study follows people who receive a liver transplant using a special machine called the VitaSmart HOPE System, which keeps the donated liver healthy before transplant. The study tracks how well these livers work after transplant.
Cleveland, OhioAges Any age - NCT07569887Recruiting
Brain Imaging Study of Arteriovenous Malformations Before and After Surgery
This research study uses special brain imaging scans to understand how an unruptured arteriovenous malformation (an abnormal tangle of blood vessels in the brain) affects blood flow and thinking abilities before and after surgical treatment. The goal is to learn how surgery impacts brain function and cognition in patients like you.
Montpellier, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT06451133Recruiting
Blood pressure management after traumatic spinal cord injury
This study tests a way to manage blood pressure after a traumatic spinal cord injury. It aims to improve blood flow to the injured area and help recovery.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07560280Recruiting
Tinnitus from Jugular Vein Narrowing: Diagnosis and Surgery Study
This study evaluates whether neck vein narrowing causes a specific type of tinnitus (ringing in the ears) and tests surgical treatment. If you have persistent tinnitus and imaging shows a narrowed jugular vein, this trial may help determine if surgery could help.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07558174Recruiting
Monitoring blood flow during leg artery surgery with imaging
This study tests a special imaging camera that measures blood flow in your leg before, during, and after surgery to improve the artery. The goal is to help doctors see in real time whether the surgery is working properly.
Leiden, South HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT07556588Recruiting
Heart transplant study using perfusion technology
This study tests a special machine that helps preserve and evaluate donor hearts before transplant. If you're waiting for a heart transplant, this trial may help doctors find the best donor hearts and improve transplant outcomes.
LeuvenAges 18 years+ - NCT07541612Recruiting
Monitoring Spinal Cord Blood Flow During Aortic Surgery
This study tests a non-invasive monitoring device (NIRS) that tracks blood flow to the spinal cord during planned aortic surgery. The goal is to better understand and prevent spinal cord damage that can cause paralysis after major aortic procedures.
Naples, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT07527715Recruiting
Heart MRI Study for Dilated Heart Muscle Disease
This research uses cardiac MRI scans and patient data to better predict outcomes in people with dilated cardiomyopathy—a condition where the heart's main pumping chamber becomes enlarged and weakened. Participating could help doctors improve how they care for similar patients in the future.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18 years+ - NCT07502053Recruiting
Can a dye help prevent a pancreas leak after Whipple surgery?
This trial tests if using a special dye during surgery can reduce the risk of a pancreatic fistula (a leak from the pancreas) after a Whipple procedure. The dye helps the surgeon see blood flow to the remaining pancreas, which may improve healing.
Girona, GironaAges 18 years+ - NCT07494162Recruiting
Acupuncture for chronic low back pain with muscle knots
This trial tests if acupuncture can help chronic low back pain by looking at changes in muscle metabolism and blood flow. It compares real acupuncture with a sham (fake) procedure to see if there is a true benefit.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07426458RecruitingPhase 4
Breathing and blood flow study for adults with asthma
This study looks at how asthma affects air flow and blood flow in your lungs. You may join if you use daily asthma control medicine and your breathing test shows room for improvement even after using a rescue inhaler.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–75 - NCT07420738Recruiting
Brain protection during heart bypass surgery study
This trial studies whether different circulatory support techniques during coronary artery bypass surgery affect blood flow to the brain. It may help find ways to protect brain function during the procedure.
IstanbulAges 18–75 - NCT07398300Recruiting
How GIP and GLP-1 affect insulin and blood flow in the body
This study uses a special full-body PET scan to see how two natural hormones, GIP and GLP-1, affect how your body uses sugar and moves blood. It includes healthy volunteers and people with type 2 diabetes who are on metformin only.
CopenhagenAges 23–64 - NCT07398352Recruiting
Regional anesthesia effects on brain oxygen in shoulder surgery
This trial studies how regional anesthesia affects oxygen levels in the brain and a key artery during shoulder surgery. It aims to find which anesthesia method works best for oxygen supply.
SanliurfaAges 18–65 - NCT07382128Recruiting
Heart MRI to Understand Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
This trial uses a special heart MRI to better understand different types of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (thick heart muscle). It may help doctors tell apart various forms of the condition and guide treatment.

Leg circulation monitoring during pelvic surgery
This trial tests a new way to check blood flow and oxygen levels in your legs during pelvic surgery when you're in the lithotomy (legs-up) position. It aims to catch any circulation problems early, which could help prevent leg injuries.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for perfusion?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 169 recruiting perfusion 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 perfusion 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 perfusion 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.
