Detecting perfusion problems in leg injuries
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests two devices to see if they can quickly detect when a leg muscle is not getting enough blood after a serious leg injury.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have a broken shinbone (tibia) or a serious leg injury that caused loss of blood flow and pulses in your lower leg.
- Only one leg is injured.
- The front part of your lower leg muscle is not too thick (measured by ultrasound).
- You are willing to join the study and can give consent.

This study tests a new way to detect muscle damage from acute compartment syndrome early after a leg fracture. If you have a leg fracture that could lead to this condition, the study may help doctors spot problems sooner and possibly prevent serious complications.
This study looks at a special drainage measurement (“tissue ultrafiltration”) to better detect and treat acute compartment syndrome, a dangerous increase in pressure in the leg after major injury. It may help doctors identify who needs urgent treatment and improve outcomes after severe leg fractures or crush injuries.
This study tests a special camera (SnapshotNIR) that takes pictures of blood flow in your legs while you move them into different positions. It may help doctors better understand your circulation and diagnose peripheral artery disease (PAD) without needles or dye.
This study tests a non-invasive monitoring device (NIRS) that tracks blood flow to the spinal cord during planned aortic surgery. The goal is to better understand and prevent spinal cord damage that can cause paralysis after major aortic procedures.
This trial tests a device that measures oxygen levels in skin flaps used during reconstructive surgery. It may help doctors ensure the flap is healing well after surgery on an arm or leg.
This trial tests a therapy that uses a special cuff to gently restrict blood flow to your leg while you do exercises. It aims to help rebuild muscle size and strength faster after a lower leg fracture when you cannot yet put weight on it.
