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 - NCT06686121RecruitingPhase 3
Improving walking after leg artery surgery for PAD
This trial tests whether drinking beetroot juice and doing home-based exercise can improve walking ability after you've had a procedure to open up blocked leg arteries. It's for people who are ready to start a walking program and want to avoid surgery.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06734221Recruiting
Testing a paclitaxel-coated balloon for leg artery disease
This trial tests a special balloon coated with a drug (paclitaxel) to open blocked leg arteries, aiming to improve blood flow and reduce symptoms like leg pain when walking. It is for people with moderate to severe leg artery disease who have not had prior stents or bypass in the treated area.
Chrzanów, MalopolskaAges 18 years+ - NCT06758921Recruiting
Testing a catheter for leg artery blockages
This study tests a special catheter to open blocked arteries in the thigh, knee, or lower leg. It may help improve blood flow and reduce symptoms like leg pain or wounds.
GrazAges 18 years+ - NCT06775028Recruiting
Integrated care for older adults with atrial fibrillation
This trial is testing a new approach to care for older adults with atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) who also have other health conditions. It aims to see if a more integrated, team-based care plan helps improve their overall health and quality of life.

MRI-Guided Treatment for Severe Leg Artery Blockages
This study uses MRI to guide treatment of blocked leg arteries below the knee, aiming to improve blood flow and reduce severe pain or sores.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06806540Recruiting
Peripheral artery disease in patients with deep vein thrombosis in the leg
This study looks at how many people with blood clots in their leg veins also have narrowing in their leg arteries. It uses an ultrasound test to check both conditions.
Bologna, BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT06873321RecruitingPhase 4
Blood thinners after leg artery surgery to prevent clots
This trial compares two blood-thinning strategies after leg artery surgery or angioplasty to prevent dangerous blood clots. Participants will receive either rivaroxaban plus aspirin or aspirin alone, and researchers will monitor for clots over 30 days.
Pernambuco, PernambucoAges Any age - NCT06887101Recruiting
Stress and heart risks in peripheral artery disease
This study looks at how stress affects heart and blood vessel events in people with peripheral artery disease (PAD). It aims to help understand if stress plays a role in worsening PAD or causing related problems like heart attacks or strokes.
EssenAges 18 years+ - NCT06952543Recruiting
Ultrasound blood flow test for leg artery disease
This study uses ultrasound to measure blood flow in the legs of people with PAD symptoms and healthy volunteers. It aims to improve how doctors assess peripheral arterial disease without invasive tests.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–75 - NCT06976073Recruiting
Skin imaging study using non-invasive scan
This trial uses a special camera to measure the composition and structure of the skin without any needles or cuts. It helps researchers understand how skin varies between people.
StockholmAges 18 years+ - NCT06979284Recruiting
Ultrasound inside artery for severe leg blockages
This trial tests whether using a special ultrasound probe inside the artery (called intravascular ultrasound) helps guide treatment for people with severe leg artery blockages that cause pain, wounds, or gangrene. The goal is to see if it improves blood flow and saves the leg.
HamiltonAges 18 years+ - NCT06989216Recruiting
Skin imaging study for adults
This trial uses advanced imaging to take detailed pictures of your skin. It may help doctors better understand and diagnose skin conditions.
StockholmAges 18 years+ - NCT07012070Recruiting
Wearable trackers to improve walking in peripheral artery disease
This trial tests whether using a wearable activity tracker (like a fitness band) can help people with peripheral artery disease walk better and farther without pain. It's designed for people newly diagnosed with leg pain when walking (claudication) and offers a simple way to track and improve your walking.
Hong Kong, Hong KongAges Any age - NCT07052435Recruiting
Measuring pressure and flow during leg artery treatment
This study looks at how well blood flows through leg arteries after using a balloon to open blockages. It uses special measurements to check if the treatment fully restores blood flow, which may help guide future treatments.
PátraiAges Any age - NCT07122167Recruiting
Study of a drug-coated stent for blocked leg arteries
This study is testing a new drug-coated stent for blocked arteries in the thigh or behind the knee. It may help people with moderate to severe leg pain or wounds by improving blood flow without needing surgery.
Chrzanów, ChrzanowAges 18–80 - NCT07149714Recruiting
Heart pump support for high-risk angioplasty
This trial tests the iVAC 2L device, a temporary heart pump placed in the main artery, to help patients who need a high-risk angioplasty (PCI) because of a very narrowed or blocked coronary artery. The goal is to prevent the heart from failing during the procedure.
MoscowAges 18 years+ - NCT07169045Recruiting
Stepper test for people with peripheral artery disease
This study checks if a 6-minute stepper test is a good way to measure walking ability in people with peripheral artery disease. You will step up and down for 6 minutes to see how far you can go.
Ankara, ÇankayaAges 18–80 - NCT07173062Recruiting
Algae supplement for heart health and gut bacteria
This study tests whether a supplement made from algae can help improve markers of heart health and affect the bacteria in your gut. It is for people age 50 and older who already have a condition like heart disease, kidney disease, or diabetes.
PortoAges 50 years+ - NCT07223437Recruiting
Restricted exercise for peripheral artery disease study
This study tests a new type of exercise that uses a blood-flow restriction cuff to see if it helps people with leg pain from blocked arteries. If you have stable claudication (leg pain when walking) and have been referred to cardiac rehab, you may qualify.
Knoxville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT07226193Recruiting
Can a pulse test detect PAD?
This study is testing a simple pulse check to see if it can detect peripheral artery disease (PAD), a condition that narrows leg arteries. People with or without PAD can join to help see how well the test works.
Omaha, NebraskaAges 19 years+ - NCT07283289Recruiting
Obstructive sleep apnea in patients with PAD
This study looks at how common obstructive sleep apnea is in people with peripheral artery disease (PAD). Participants will have a sleep test as part of their regular care.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for peripheral arterial disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 223 recruiting peripheral arterial disease 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 peripheral arterial disease 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 peripheral arterial disease 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.
