MRI-guided artery blockage procedure for long-term joint pain
This study tests whether an MRI scan that looks at blood flow can help target a joint embolization procedure to reduce chronic shoulder, hip, or knee pain. It first uses MRI to find signs of increased blood flow, then may use the findings to guide treatment if you qualify.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 25–80 - NCT05804773Recruiting
Studying brain blood flow changes when blood pressure changes
This study looks at how blood flow in the brain changes when blood pressure rises or falls in people in the ICU. It may help doctors understand safer ways to manage blood pressure in critically ill patients.
Paris, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT05817539Recruiting
Early circulation-focused care during kidney dialysis in ICU
This trial looks at whether starting dialysis-related care early, aimed at improving blood flow to tissues, can help people in the ICU who have sudden kidney failure. It may help reduce problems related to poor tissue circulation, but it is very specific about ICU illness and current treatments.
AjaccioAges 18 years+ - NCT05865600Recruiting
PET/CT guided planning for treatment in chronic coronary disease
This trial uses a heart scan (PET/CT) to better estimate blood flow in people with long-term coronary artery disease. It aims to help doctors choose the best treatment strategy and decide who may need more invasive testing or procedures.
Herning, Central JutlandAges 18 years+ - NCT05866952Recruiting
Breathing and blood-flow testing in long-COVID symptoms
This trial studies how the lungs’ breathing (airflow) and blood flow may be off in people with long-COVID symptoms like tiredness, shortness of breath, or trouble exercising. It may help researchers understand what’s driving symptoms and what kinds of abnormalities could be targeted.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–99 - NCT06009276Recruiting
Gut bacteria, muscle blood flow, and fitness study
This study looks at how the bacteria in your gut affect blood flow to your muscles and your overall fitness. You will provide samples and do some exercise tests to help researchers understand this link.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06056635Recruiting
Study of special telescopes for fetal surgery
This study tests two types of small cameras (fetoscopes) to see how well they work for surgery on a baby before birth. Doctors want to learn if these tools can safely perform fetal procedures.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–45 - NCT06082401Recruiting
Adding filtering to improve donor lungs
This trial tests whether adding a special filtering treatment (hemodiafiltration) during the lung reconditioning process (EVLP) can help improve marginal donor lungs before transplant. It aims to see if more lungs can be used for patients waiting for a transplant.
ViennaAges Any age - NCT06085612Recruiting
How carotid artery blockage affects blood flow in the retina
This trial examines how a narrowing of the main neck artery (carotid stenosis) impacts blood flow in the retina using a special eye test called automated retinal oximetry. The goal is to better understand how this blockage affects eye health.
OlomoucAges 18 years+ - NCT06222645Recruiting
Comparing two dyes in gastrointestinal surgery
This trial compares two dyes used during stomach or intestine surgery to see which helps surgeons see the blood flow better. It may help decide which dye works best for safe reconnections.
Yantai, ShandongAges 18 years+ - NCT06234592Recruiting
Blood pressure medicines and kidney health in septic shock
This trial tests whether different blood pressure medicines protect kidney function better in people with septic shock (a severe infection that causes low blood pressure). It compares norepinephrine (the standard treatment) with other options to see which is best for the kidneys.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT06315595Recruiting
Better MRI scans for blood vessels and blood flow
This study tests a new MRI technique to get clearer images of blood vessels and blood flow using a contrast dye, and also explores MRI methods that don't need contrast at all. The goal is to improve how doctors see and assess blood flow issues without added risk.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06430554Recruiting
Personalized ventilation for ARDS patients on breathing machines
This trial tests a personalized ventilation method that adjusts how the breathing machine delivers air based on your lung's air and blood flow match. It aims to improve breathing for people with moderate to severe ARDS who are already on a ventilator and will be placed on their stomach.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–85 - NCT06418256Recruiting
Study of Spleen Function Using Surgical Samples
This study collects the spleen and blood from people having surgery to remove their spleen. By studying these samples, researchers hope to learn more about how the spleen works and what happens when it doesn't function properly.
