- NCT05448807RecruitingPhase 3
Phentolamine to reverse numbing from dental local anesthesia in kids

Cairo, El ManialAges 5–7 - NCT06731998Recruiting
Improving pain control after cancer surgery
This study compares different methods of managing pain after minimally invasive surgery for abdominal cancers. It aims to find which approach works best to reduce pain and improve recovery.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–89 - NCT06725134Recruiting
Do therapy dogs help kids feel calmer during dental shots?
This study tests if having a trained therapy dog in the room reduces a child's anxiety and improves their behavior when getting numbing medicine for dental work. It could help children who are nervous about dental procedures feel more at ease.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 4–12 - NCT06691269Recruiting
Light therapy for pain-free dental care in kids
This study tests a special light therapy called photobiomodulation to see if it can reduce pain during routine dental care in children. It may offer a safe, non-drug way to help kids feel more comfortable at the dentist.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 6–12 - NCT06576128Recruiting
Numbing injection for pain relief during heart procedures
This study tests whether an ultrasound-guided numbing injection in the belly wall can reduce pain during heart procedures like angioplasty or stent placement. It is for people having planned (non-emergency) heart catheterization.
IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT06426992Recruiting
Microwave ablation for small liver tumors
This study tests a microwave ablation device to destroy small liver tumors (up to 4 cm) using heat, without major surgery. It is designed for patients with limited disease (1 or 2 tumors) and good liver function.
SeoulAges 20–85 - NCT06429501RecruitingPhase 2
Numbing medicine for facial fracture surgery
This study tests numbing medicine (local anesthetic) given during surgery for broken facial bones, like the jaw or cheekbones. The goal is to see how well it works and if it helps recovery.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT06406010RecruitingPhase 4

CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT06346132Recruiting
Does virtual reality help during heart device surgery?
This study tests if wearing a virtual reality headset during a heart device implant or battery change helps you feel more comfortable and relaxed. The surgery is done under local anesthesia (numbing medicine) while you stay awake, and you go home the same day.
Lugano, Canton TicinoAges 18 years+ - NCT06284473RecruitingPhase 4
Ketamine with numbing medicine for minor emergency procedures

CairoAges 6–10 - NCT05230134Enrolling by invitation
Nerve block treatment for brain blood vessel spasm after bleeding
This trial looks at a procedure that blocks specific nerves to help prevent or treat blood vessel spasm in the brain after a ruptured brain aneurysm. If you qualify, it may help improve blood flow to the brain during recovery in the ICU.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04708808Recruiting

This study looks at different ways to give anesthesia during hip surgery to help older patients think and remember better afterward. It may help prevent confusion or memory problems that sometimes happen after surgery.
Dongyang, ZhejiangAges 65 years+ - NCT05233462Recruiting
Compare two spinal anesthesia bupivacaine dose methods for C-sections
This trial looks at whether adjusting the dose of bupivacaine by height works better than using a standard dose for spinal anesthesia during planned C-sections. It may help improve safety and comfort by aiming for the right level of numbing effect.
CaenAges 18–45 - NCT06617949RecruitingEarly Phase 1
