Early kidney protection during heart surgery
This trial looks at whether a specific heart-surgery technique (called CLCVP) can help protect kidney function soon after surgery. It is mainly for adults with otherwise normal kidney tests before certain types of heart operations.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT06627686Recruiting
Predicting successful breathing tube removal in brain injury patients
This study tests if simple breathing tests can predict whether a patient with a traumatic brain injury will successfully breathe on their own after a breathing tube is removed. The goal is to make the removal process safer.
Tanta, MahalaAges 18–65 - NCT04007380Recruiting
Sleep problems after spinal cord injury study
This study looks at how sleep-disordered breathing (breathing problems during sleep) affects mood, thinking, and behavior after a spinal cord injury. It may help researchers understand the impact of these sleep breathing issues and guide better support for people after injury.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05473689Recruiting
Sleep study in early spinal cord injury
This study looks at how sleep quality affects movement problems after a new spinal cord injury. Researchers hope to identify sleep targets that could improve motor function during recovery.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07248995Recruiting
Ultrasound to set breathing support in brain injury patients with lung issues
This trial tests if chest and head ultrasound can help doctors adjust the breathing machine (PEEP) for patients with both a severe brain injury and a serious lung condition called ARDS. The goal is to improve care without harming the brain.
ThessalonikiAges 18 years+ - NCT07488793Recruiting
Remote conditioning for spinal cord injury
This study tests a non-invasive method called remote ischemic conditioning, which involves brief cycles of inflation and deflation of a blood pressure cuff on the arm. It may help improve health outcomes for people with spinal cord injury who are not currently able to exercise.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT04752293Recruiting
Study of a kidney blood-pressure system in kids
This study looks at how a kidney-related blood-pressure system works in children and teenagers, comparing those with newly diagnosed primary (no known cause) high blood pressure to those with normal blood pressure. It may help doctors better understand childhood blood-pressure changes and guide future care.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 7–18 - NCT07670494Recruiting
Comparing breathing machine settings during laparoscopic gallbladder surgery
This study compares different ways of using a breathing machine during laparoscopic gallbladder surgery. It looks at how much pressure is put on the lungs to find the safest and most effective method for people having this type of surgery.
Yenimahalle, AnkaraAges 18 years+ - NCT06937307RecruitingPhase 2
Droxidopa for low blood pressure in cirrhosis with kidney injury
This trial tests a medication called droxidopa to see if it can raise blood pressure in people with cirrhosis who also have acute kidney injury. If you have low blood pressure and are in the hospital with these conditions, this study may help improve your kidney function.
New York, New YorkAges 18–70 - NCT06499935Recruiting
Taping for ankle instability in athletes
This study tests whether taping can change how pressure is distributed on your foot while playing sports. It may help if you have long-term ankle instability from past sprains.
BeirutAges 18–28 - NCT06368544Recruiting
Early walking training after ACL knee surgery
This trial studies whether starting walking exercises earlier after ACL reconstruction can help protect the knee cartilage from wearing down. It may be a good fit if you are having your first ACL surgery at Peking University Third Hospital and your knee has already healed from the initial injury.
BeijingAges 18–40 - NCT03736382Recruiting
Study how mild low-oxygen affects sleep apnea and blood pressure
This trial studies whether mild, controlled low oxygen during sleep can change sleep apnea symptoms and related blood pressure issues. It mainly looks at people with newly diagnosed, untreated sleep apnea and early high blood pressure.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18–60 - NCT05425810Recruiting
Smart tool to help check prosthetic socket fit
This study tests an easy-to-use smart system (called ENABLE) that helps assess whether a prosthetic socket fits your leg well. It may help improve comfort and reduce skin problems by making sure the socket fit is assessed in a consistent, affordable way.
Raleigh, North CarolinaAges 18–99 - NCT06447545Recruiting
Comparing air pressure levels for gallbladder surgery pain
This trial compares two different air pressure levels used during laparoscopic gallbladder removal to see which one causes less pain after surgery, including shoulder pain and bile duct injuries.
Lahore, PUNAges Any age - NCT07716787Recruiting
Brain monitoring during breathing therapy in critically ill patients
This study looks at how a breathing machine setting (called PEEP) affects blood flow in the brain. If you or your loved one is in the ICU with a serious brain injury and is on a breathing machine, this trial could help doctors understand how to make breathing therapy safer for the brain.
Dongying, ShandongAges 18 years+ - NCT05115929Recruiting
Surgery for dangerously high pressure after head injury
This trial compares two emergency surgery approaches for people with traumatic brain injury who have dangerously high pressure inside the skull that does not improve with standard treatments. The goal is to see which approach leads to better long-term outcomes.
ClamartAges 18–65 - NCT07233304Recruiting
Lung opening procedure safety in children on breathing machines
This trial tests a lung opening procedure (alveolar recruitment maneuver) in children on a breathing machine to see if it's safe and helpful. It compares how well the procedure works with different machine settings.
Canuelas, Buenos AiresAges 1 month–14 years - NCT07050069Recruiting
Breathing training for spinal cord injury patients
This study tests a new breathing exercise method combined with a gentle brain stimulation technique to help people with spinal cord injury improve their breathing and lung function. It may be an option if your injury is recent and at or above the mid-back level.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18–80 - NCT06717308Recruiting
Testing a gentler adhesive drape for wound therapy
This trial compares a special adhesive drape (the switchable one) with the standard drape during negative pressure wound therapy (a treatment that uses suction to help heal wounds after surgery). The goal is to see if the new drape causes less pain when removed.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07274527Recruiting
Amnioinfusion for babies exposed to thick meconium during labor
This trial tests whether adding fluid into the womb (amnioinfusion) during labor can protect a baby's lungs and health after being exposed to thick meconium (baby's first poop). It may help reduce breathing problems and improve long-term outcomes.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT05476263Recruiting
Negative pressure wound therapy for esophagus or rectum
This trial studies whether a device called Suprasorb CNPendo helps healing of certain full-thickness (through-and-through) injuries or wounds in the esophagus or rectum. It may be an option if your medical team is already considering negative pressure wound therapy for these specific problems.
BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT06153147Recruiting
Kidney & blood pressure in childhood cancer survivors
This study looks at kidney health and blood pressure in childhood cancer survivors. If you finished high-risk cancer therapy about 3 years ago, researchers want to see how your kidneys and blood pressure are doing now.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for pressure injury?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 74 recruiting pressure injury 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 pressure injury 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 pressure injury 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.
