Pain Relief Blocks for Children After Appendix Surgery
This study compares two different injection techniques to reduce pain after appendix removal surgery in children ages 7–12. Both techniques use ultrasound (sound waves) to guide a numbing medication to nerves near the surgical area, and researchers want to see which works better.
TantaAges 7–12 - NCT07429448RecruitingPhase 1
Numbing medicine for pain after appendix removal
This trial tests whether numbing medicine (bupivacaine) placed into the belly during an open appendix removal helps reduce pain after surgery, compared to a placebo (a shot with no medicine).
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 20–60 - NCT07230379Recruiting
Comparing two treatments for first-time uncomplicated appendicitis
This trial tests a newer, less invasive procedure called ERAT against standard laparoscopic appendectomy for adults with a first episode of uncomplicated appendicitis. The goal is to see which approach works better with fewer risks.
Chongqing, ChingqingAges 18 years+ - NCT07088900Recruiting
Dexmedetomidine with bupivacaine for pain relief in children's appendix surgery
This trial tests if adding dexmedetomidine to bupivacaine (a numbing medicine given near the tailbone) provides better pain relief during and after appendix surgery in children. It may help reduce the need for other pain medicines.
CairoAges 2–7 - NCT07678086Recruiting
Breathing tube pressure and sore throat in children's appendix surgery
This trial tests whether carefully managing the pressure in the breathing tube during surgery can help prevent a sore throat in children after they have their appendix removed by keyhole surgery. It may help your child have a more comfortable recovery.
Ankara, YenimahalleAges 6–18 - NCT07626463Recruiting
Local anesthetic injection to reduce pain after laparoscopic surgery
This trial tests whether injecting a local anesthetic (numbing medicine) and a steroid around the surgical area before surgery reduces pain after laparoscopic procedures like gallbladder, appendix, or hernia repair. The goal is to help patients recover more comfortably with potentially less pain medication needed.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–64 - NCT07589465Recruiting
Lactulose to Help Digestion Recover After Appendix Surgery
This study tests whether taking lactulose (a gentle laxative) after appendix removal helps your stomach and intestines work normally again. The trial compares lactulose to a placebo (inactive pill) to see which helps patients recover bowel function faster.
SichuanAges 18 years+ - NCT07591207Recruiting
Pain relief patch after laparoscopic abdominal surgery
This trial tests whether a pain-relief patch (loxoprofen) works well and safely to reduce pain after common laparoscopic surgeries like gallbladder, appendix, or hernia repair. If it works, it could offer patients a non-invasive way to manage post-surgery pain.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–64 - NCT07591233Recruiting
Pain Relief Injection During Laparoscopic Surgery
This trial tests whether injecting a numbing medication mixed with a steroid into the surgical area before making cuts can reduce pain after common laparoscopic procedures like gallbladder removal or hernia repair. The goal is to help patients recover with less pain and fewer pain medications.

- How do I know if I qualify for a appendectomy trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a appendectomy trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
