Recruiting studies near Chicago
- NCT06399900Recruiting
Light therapy plus exercise for better walking with PAD
This study tests whether adding light therapy to a walking program helps people with peripheral artery disease (PAD) walk further and feel better. You'll receive either light therapy or a placebo light while doing a supervised exercise program.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 50 years+ - NCT04674969Recruiting
Register patients receiving a drug-eluting device for leg arteries
This study is a real-world registry that follows adults who receive a drug-eluting device for narrowed or blocked blood vessels in the legs (peripheral vasculature). It helps researchers understand how these devices perform in everyday care.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT04687215Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation for painful diabetic nerve pain
This trial studies whether a spinal cord stimulator can reduce pain from diabetic nerve damage in the legs. It focuses on people with long-lasting type 2 diabetes and significant, treatment-resistant pain.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 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+ - NCT04228978Recruiting
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+ - NCT06399809RecruitingPhase 2
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.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 50 years+ - 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.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 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+ - 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+ - NCT01524276Recruiting
Registry to track outcomes of Medtronic medical devices
This is a follow-up registry that collects information from people who have (or will receive) an eligible Medtronic device. It helps the company and doctors better understand how the device works in real-world use.
Chicago, IllinoisAges Any age - NCT05313165Recruiting
Stent procedure for poor blood flow in the leg ulcers and gangrene
This trial tests a new minimally invasive procedure (placing a small stent) to improve blood flow to a severely threatened foot or lower leg. It may help people whose ulcers or gangrene are not treatable with standard bypass or other surgeries.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–95 - 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+ - NCT04774159RecruitingPhase 3
Low-dose colchicine to lower risk in leg artery disease
This trial tests whether low-dose colchicine can reduce “residual” risk—future heart and blood-vessel problems—in people with peripheral artery disease (PAD). It targets PAD symptoms and complications like poor blood flow in the legs, even after certain procedures.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07348640RecruitingPhase 3
Study of new MRI dye for blocked blood vessels
This trial tests a new MRI contrast dye (gadopiclenol) to see if it works as well as the standard dye for finding blocked or narrowed blood vessels. If you have symptoms of vascular disease, you may be able to join and help compare the two dyes.
Evanston, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07318610RecruitingPhase 3
Study of a new blood thinner in people with leg artery disease
This trial tests if a new blood-thinning drug (factor XI inhibitor) can prevent serious heart and leg problems in people who recently had a leg artery procedure. It compares the new drug to standard care for up to 3 years.

What taking part in a peripheral vascular diseases study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
