Find a Study
Your team in Primary Care strongly supports research. Our staff members participate in research studies and often lead that research. Do consider participating.
The following listing(s) are for research conducted by Mayo Clinic and the listing(s) are intended for your consideration as a member of our community.
Visit the Clinical Trials at Mayo Clinic website to find trials that you might join. Clinical trials are studies where patients with certain conditions are allocated to different treatments by random (as in the flip of a coin). To learn more about the Clinical Trial Journey view this short video, it is available in both English and Spanish.
In addition, we will post additional studies below when the investigator has requested that the study be advertised directly to our community.

Performance of Coagulation Laboratory Testing in Children and Young Adults
The purpose of this study is to learn about the changes in blood clotting proteins as children age.
The study will consist of an in-person consent visit with the study coordinator and a blood draw. Children are eligible to return to the clinic for annual blood draws until the age of 18. The research blood draw can be coordinated with clinical draws if applicable. All study costs will be covered and will result in no extra charges to you or your child. We will offer payment for your child's participation.
You may be eligible to participate if:
- You are < 18 years of age.

The Randomized Clinical Trial of Low-Dose Radiotherapy for Knee Osteoarthritis (Radio-KO)
Mayo Clinic is seeking volunteers with osteoarthritis of the knee to participate in a study to investigate whether low-dose radiotherapy is an effective treatment to reduce pain.
Participation lasts approximately six months and includes 6–12 study visits. You will be asked to complete an initial questionnaire to obtain baseline information and X-rays of the knee will be obtained if not previously completed. You will then be seen in Radiation Oncology for an examination of the knee by our study team. If you qualify for the study, you will be randomized to complete six treatments of either low-dose radiotherapy or placebo. Weekly questionnaires will be emailed to you to assess your knee pain. Compensation will be provided for your time spent in the study.
You may be eligible to participate if:
- You are between the ages of 50 and 85.
- You have been diagnosed with knee arthritis.
- You have moderate pain in the knee at least sometimes.
- You have morning stiffness in your knee(s) that lasts less than 30 minutes.
- You have cracking, popping or grinding of the knee joint that sometimes happens without a history of warmth, redness or sudden onset of swelling.
- You can complete surveys electronically.
