Wrist-based heart exam safety study
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This trial checks whether performing a heart catheterization (a procedure to look at your heart's blood vessels) through the wrist (transradial) is safe regarding nerve injury. If you qualify, this could help doctors understand if this approach is better for patient safety.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 60 years old
- You cannot have a pacemaker or an ICD (a device that controls your heartbeat)
- You cannot have a history of nerve damage, nerve pain, or a condition like neuropathy
- You cannot have any deformities or prior surgeries on your arm or spine
- You cannot have a condition that affects your thinking or memory (such as dementia)

This study looks at whether a procedure on an artery in the wrist is linked to new or worsening nerve symptoms in the hand. It may help doctors understand who is at higher or lower risk and improve safety.
This study compares hand function after heart tests or treatments done through a small tube in the wrist. It aims to see if using a more distant wrist point helps protect hand movement.
This study compares two ways of inserting a thin tube into your wrist artery for a heart procedure (angiography or PCI). One way is closer to the hand (distal), the other is the traditional spot. The goal is to see which one causes fewer blockages in the forearm after the procedure, using ultrasound to check.
This trial compares a new pressure-sensing sheath that monitors blood pressure during wrist-artery procedures to the traditional method. It aims to see if the new device works just as well or better, and is for patients who are already scheduled for a planned (not emergency) procedure needing continuous blood pressure monitoring.
This trial tests whether a new wrist access point (the distal radial artery) along with specific drug treatments (CAG and PCI) is safe and effective for people with small blood vessels in the heart. It aims to offer an alternative that may reduce bleeding or damage risks.
This study tests a new wearable device that uses mild electrical pulses to treat chronic pain in the knee, arm, or shoulder. It is for people whose pain started after surgery or injury and who have not found enough relief with standard treatments.
