Recruiting studies
- NCT06705881Recruiting
Shock wave therapy for athletes with jumper's knee
This trial tests if extracorporeal shock wave therapy (a non-surgical treatment using sound waves) can help athletes with patellar tendinopathy, also known as jumper's knee. It is for people who have had pain in the patellar tendon for at least 6 months and are active in jumping sports.

Early vs. late vasopressin for septic shock
This study compares giving vasopressin earlier vs. later to patients with septic shock who are already on norepinephrine. The goal is to see if adding vasopressin sooner helps improve blood pressure recovery.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06786364Recruiting
Measuring blood flow waves in sepsis patients
This study uses a special light sensor to measure blood flow waves in patients with septic shock. The goal is to see if these waves can help doctors understand how severe the shock is.
Mexico City, CuauhtemocAges 18 years+ - NCT06827314Recruiting
Treating cardiogenic shock with drug and mechanical support
This trial is testing different approaches (medications and mechanical support) to help people with acute heart failure and cardiogenic shock (a sudden drop in the heart's pumping ability). It looks at how well these treatments work in a network of hospitals to improve outcomes.
Bologna, BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT06832436Recruiting
Atrial strain study in septic shock patients
This study looks at how well the upper chambers of the heart (atria) work during septic shock using a special heart ultrasound. It may help doctors understand how the heart is affected by severe infections.
SalouëlAges 18 years+ - NCT06853340Recruiting
Calcium and blood vessel hardening in sepsis shock
This study looks at how calcium buildup in blood vessels and a specific receptor on immune cells might affect recovery from septic shock. It aims to understand if these factors impact how well patients respond to treatment.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT06862700Recruiting
Less vasopressors for heart shock on ECMO
This trial is studying whether using less of the medicines that raise blood pressure (vasopressors) can help people with severe heart failure who are on a heart-lung machine (ECMO) survive. It may answer if a gentler approach is safer.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT06881927RecruitingPhase 4
Reducing anti-rejection meds in ICU for kidney transplant patients
This study tests whether quickly reducing your anti-rejection medicines during a life-threatening ICU stay can help your kidneys recover and improve your overall outcome. It is for kidney transplant recipients with septic shock or severe breathing failure.
StrasbourgAges 18 years+ - NCT06891131Recruiting
Blood transfusion bundle for severe bleeding after injury
This trial tests a standard set of emergency blood transfusions for people with life-threatening bleeding from a serious injury. It aims to improve survival by giving blood products quickly before reaching the hospital.
GrazAges 18 years+ - NCT06955936Recruiting
Blood filtering for shock after heart attack
This trial tests a new blood-filtering device called Efferon CT for people with cardiogenic shock after a heart attack. The device aims to help your body recover by cleaning harmful substances from your blood, and you might join if you are diagnosed early and don't have other serious health issues.
TomskAges 18–80 - NCT06990295Recruiting
Ultrasound spleen stimulation for sepsis shock
This trial tests if using focused ultrasound to stimulate the spleen can reduce inflammation in septic shock. It may help patients in the ICU who need strong blood pressure support.
Wuhu, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT07043335Recruiting
Mesotherapy vs. shock wave for tennis elbow pain
This trial compares two treatments for tennis elbow: mesotherapy (injections into the skin) and shock wave therapy (sound waves). It aims to find which works better for pain that has lasted at least 6 weeks.
IstanbulAges 18–65 - NCT07062744Recruiting
Swan-Ganz catheter for cardiogenic shock after heart attack
This study tests whether a special catheter (Swan-Ganz) placed in the heart's blood vessels helps doctors better manage fluids and medications for people in cardiogenic shock after a heart attack. It aims to improve blood flow to vital organs.
HanoiAges 18 years+ - NCT07063680RecruitingPhase 3
Testing early argipressin for shock not helped by norepinephrine
This trial tests a medicine called argipressin for people in the ICU with vasoplegic shock (very low blood pressure due to widened blood vessels) that isn't improving with high doses of the usual medicine, norepinephrine. The goal is to see if adding argipressin early helps raise blood pressure and improves outcomes.
DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT07068399Recruiting
Shock Wave Therapy for Heart Blood Flow
This study tests if shock wave therapy can help grow new blood vessels in people with non-obstructive coronary artery disease. Researchers will use special heart MRI scans to see if the treatment improves blood flow to your heart.
Hong KongAges 18–80 - NCT07096284Recruiting
Study of a blood oxygen ratio in septic shock
This trial tests a new way to measure oxygen levels in the blood of patients with septic shock. It may help doctors better understand how well the body is using oxygen.
Marrakesh, MarrakeshAges 18 years+ - NCT07119801Recruiting
Shock wave therapy for arm stiffness after stroke
This trial tests whether shock wave therapy can help reduce muscle tightness in the wrist and hand after a stroke. It may be an option if you have had one stroke, are between 35 and 65 years old, and still have stiffness that bothers you.
DenizliAges 35–65 - NCT07136532Recruiting
Predicting fluid needs in children with septic shock using ultrasound
This study tests whether using ultrasound of the neck (carotid artery) and heart can help doctors know which children with septic shock need more fluids. It aims to make fluid treatment safer and more precise in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU).
CairoAges 1 month–16 years - NCT07179276Recruiting
Testing CO₂ gap to guide septic shock treatment
This trial checks if measuring the carbon dioxide gap (a sign of how well blood is flowing to organs) can help doctors improve treatment for people in septic shock. Septic shock is a severe infection that causes very low blood pressure and organ damage.
AngersAges 18 years+ - NCT07261995Recruiting
Shock wave vs. laser surgery for kidney stones
This trial compares two procedures to break up a single kidney stone. One uses sound waves from outside the body, the other uses a laser through a small scope. Both aim to help you pass the stone more easily.
Karachi, SindhAges 18–65 - NCT07266675Recruiting
Recovery after cardiogenic shock study
This trial looks at what happens to people after they survive a serious heart condition called cardiogenic shock, where the heart suddenly can't pump enough blood. Researchers want to understand recovery and improve care for survivors.
TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07309029Recruiting
ECMO support during high-risk TAVR heart valve procedure
This trial tests whether placing patients on ECMO (a heart-lung support machine) before a high-risk TAVR valve replacement can improve safety and outcomes. It is for people who are at very high risk due to low blood pressure, severe heart or lung problems, or complex valve anatomy.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18–100 - NCT07319988Recruiting
Shock wave therapy and core exercises for back pain
This study tests if shock wave therapy along with core stability exercises can help reduce long-term back pain in female teachers. It may be a good fit if you have had nonspecific back pain for over 3 months and are at a healthy weight.
IsmailiaAges 16–18 - NCT07345559Recruiting
Personalized blood pressure targets for cardiogenic shock
This trial tests whether setting a personalized blood pressure goal for each person in cardiogenic shock improves recovery compared to standard care. It may help if you have severe shock and can be enrolled within the first 24 hours.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for shock?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 328 recruiting shock 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 shock 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 shock 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.
