Boost nerve signaling to improve blood vessel function
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a treatment aimed at increasing “rest-and-digest” nerve activity to improve how blood vessels work, especially in people with vascular oxidative stress. It is designed for African American adults and looks at whether the intervention can improve blood vessel-related health markers.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how childhood stress might affect blood vessels and aging in young adults. It tests if a certain protein (SIRT1) is linked to early blood vessel aging.
This study tests simple strategies (like hand exercises or warming) to help blood vessels recover faster from reduced blood flow. It's for healthy, inactive adults to understand how the body responds and how to protect blood vessel health.
This trial studies whether taking an NAD supplement can support brain blood vessel health as people age. Participants will be tested for brain and health changes and may help researchers understand how to keep the brain’s blood vessels healthier over time.
This trial tests a nutritional supplement (nicotinamide riboside) to see how it affects blood flow in healthy adults. It may help understand how to support vascular health as we age.
This early-phase study looks at whether a treatment can help reverse problems in blood vessels caused by high glucose (sugar) and blood fat signals. It may be a fit if you are generally healthy, have normal insulin and sugar levels, and have a stable weight.
This study tests whether adding a natriuretic peptide medicine improves heart health and metabolism in Black adults. It may help with blood pressure and related health markers, but you must meet specific health and safety criteria.
