All recruiting trials (13)

• Will GFAP in the blood after carotid endarterectomy predict neurological problems?

  This study tests whether blood GFAP levels before and after carotid endarterectomy relate to postoperative neurological issues in adults.

  Recruiting Bursa Yuksek Ihtisas Training and Research Hospital · Bursa, Bursa · NCT07843979

• Remote arm‑cuff conditioning plus stent placement for symptomatic carotid narrowing

  This study tests whether regular remote limb ischemic conditioning after carotid artery stenting can lower major vascular events and improve outcomes for adults with symptomatic carotid artery narrowing.

  Recruiting General Hospital of Shenyang Military Region · Shenyang · NCT07412249

• Residual and recurrent carotid narrowing after endarterectomy with primary closure

  The study will test how often and when carotid narrowing comes back after elective carotid endarterectomy with primary closure in adults.

  Recruiting Charles University, Czech Republic · Prague · NCT07057297

• Managing asymptomatic carotid stenosis to prevent strokes

  This study looks at whether surgery to clear blocked neck arteries can help older patients with no symptoms avoid strokes.

  Recruiting Fondazione Policlinico Universitario Agostino Gemelli IRCCS · Roma, RM · NCT06882954

• Selective coronary revascularization for patients with carotid artery disease after carotid surgery

  This study is testing if adding a specific heart procedure to the best medical treatment can help prevent heart problems in patients over 50 who have had surgery for carotid artery disease.

  Recruiting Pauls Stradins Clinical University Hospital · Riga · NCT06546761

• Carotid artery stenting during treatment of acute stroke

  This study is testing if adding carotid artery stenting during a stroke treatment can help improve blood flow to the brain and lower the chances of having another stroke for patients with blocked carotid arteries.

  Recruiting Phase 3 University Medical Center Groningen · Groningen · NCT06511089

• Investigating the role of ficolin-2 in carotid stenosis and brain inflammation

  This study is testing if a specific biomarker can help identify dangerous plaque in the carotid artery of patients who have had a mini-stroke or stroke, to see if they might benefit from a procedure to improve blood flow.

  Recruiting Phase 2 Hospices Civils de Lyon · Bron · NCT05850247

• Evaluating Clopidogrel Resistance in Patients Undergoing Carotid Stenting

  This study is testing whether switching to a different medication called Ticagrelor can help patients who don't respond well to Clopidogrel during carotid stenting procedures.

  Recruiting IRCCS Policlinico S. Donato · San Donato Milanese, Milan · NCT05566301

• Evaluating the link between heart failure and cognitive impairment using Doppler imaging

  This study is trying to see if heart failure affects thinking and memory in younger patients by looking at blood flow in the brain.

  Recruiting John Paul II Hospital, Krakow · Krakow, MP · NCT05250349

• Simultaneous carotid artery stenting and cardiac surgery for high-risk patients

  This study tests if doing carotid artery stenting at the same time as heart surgery can help high-risk patients with both conditions recover better and have fewer complications.

  Recruiting John Paul II Hospital, Krakow · Krakow · NCT04973579

• Treatment for acute stroke with carotid artery issues

  This study is testing if combining a procedure to open blocked carotid arteries with a treatment to remove blood clots can help people who have had a stroke feel better after 90 days.

  Recruiting Centre hospitalier de l'Université de Montréal (CHUM) · Montreal, Quebec · NCT04261478

• Innovative imaging techniques for assessing carotid atherosclerosis

  This study tests new imaging methods to see if they can help identify dangerous plaque in the arteries of people with carotid stenosis, particularly to tell the difference between those who have had a stroke and those who haven't.

  Recruiting Hospices Civils de Lyon · Bron · NCT02748941

• Assessing blood vessel growth in asymptomatic carotid stenosis using ultrasound

  This study is trying to see if a special ultrasound can help find tiny blood vessels in the neck arteries of people who have narrowing but no symptoms, to better understand the risk of future strokes.

  Recruiting University Hospital, Basel, Switzerland · Basel · NCT01732523

NIH-funded research (7)

Early-stage science funded by the US National Institutes of Health. Most of these projects don't enroll patients, but they show what is being worked on.

• Carotid artery treatment for people with artery narrowing who don’t have symptoms

  A large, international study is testing whether intensive medical care plus either carotid surgery or carotid stenting improves outcomes for people with high-grade carotid artery narrowing who have not yet had symptoms.

  NIH research Mayo Clinic Jacksonville · Jacksonville, United States · NIH-11595509

• Using genes to find new risk factors and treatments for carotid artery disease

  Researchers are using big genetic data to uncover why carotid artery disease occurs and to find new ways to prevent and treat it for people at risk.

  NIH research Philadelphia VA Medical Center · Philadelphia, United States · NIH-11400857

• Surgery, stenting, or medicine for people with severe carotid artery narrowing who have no symptoms

  This project compares adding carotid surgery or artery stents to intensive medical treatment versus intensive medical treatment alone for people with severe narrowing of the carotid artery who have not had symptoms.

  NIH research Mayo Clinic Jacksonville · Jacksonville, United States · NIH-11193054

• Treating severe carotid artery narrowing to prevent stroke

  Compares intensive medical therapy alone to adding carotid surgery or stenting for adults with severe carotid artery narrowing who have not had stroke symptoms.

  NIH research Mayo Clinic Jacksonville · Jacksonville, United States · NIH-11175454

• Finding genetic causes and treatment targets for carotid artery narrowing

  This project uses veterans' genetic data and medical records to find why carotid arteries narrow and help people at risk of stroke.

  NIH research Philadelphia VA Medical Center · Philadelphia, United States · NIH-11130972

• Improving balance and mobility in older adults with carotid artery narrowing through exercise.

  This study is looking at how a special 12-week exercise program can help older adults with mild carotid artery narrowing improve their balance and mobility, so they can stay active and prevent falls.

  NIH research Baltimore VA Medical Center · Baltimore, United States · NIH-10938031

• Identifying new risk factors and treatments for carotid artery narrowing

  This study is looking into how our genes might affect carotid stenosis, a condition that can increase the risk of strokes, to help find better ways to prevent and treat it for people with heart-related issues.

  NIH research Philadelphia VA Medical Center · Philadelphia, United States · NIH-10863814

Quick answers

How many Carotid Stenosis clinical trials are recruiting right now?

13, as of November 12, 2026. We update this list each time we refresh our data from ClinicalTrials.gov.

Where are these trials running?

In 10 countries. The most sites are in Poland (2 trials), France (2 trials), Italy (2 trials), China (1 trial), Switzerland (1 trial). Each study page lists its sites and which ones are recruiting.

What phases are they in?

Phase 2: 1, Phase 3: 1. Trials with no phase listed are usually device, behavioural or observational studies.

How do I join one?

Open a study, check the "Is this trial a fit for you?" section, then contact the study team listed on the page. They will ask a few screening questions. Asking is free and does not commit you to anything. Talk it over with your doctor first.
