Recruiting studies
- NCT05691348Recruiting
Same-day surgery for uncomplicated acute appendicitis
This trial studies whether removing an uncomplicated appendix in one day (without an overnight hospital stay) is safe and practical. It may help patients recover faster at home, if they meet the trial’s safety requirements.
Nice, Alpes MaritimesAges 15–74 - NCT05878665Recruiting
Low-dose contrast dye for CT scans in suspected appendicitis
This trial tests whether using a smaller amount of contrast dye in a CT scan still gives doctors enough information to diagnose suspected appendicitis. It’s aimed at emergency department patients who are already scheduled for an abdomen and pelvis CT with dye.
SeoulAges 19–44 - NCT06160778RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing two pain medicines for kids with belly pain
This study compares two common pain relievers—ketorolac and morphine—given through an IV to children with acute abdominal pain. It aims to find which works better and has fewer side effects for this condition.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 6–17 - NCT06177418Recruiting
Appendix surgery through the belly button in children
This trial is testing a specific type of appendix removal surgery that uses a small incision in the belly button. It aims to see if this approach works well for children and teens.
IstanbulAges 5–18 - NCT06563349RecruitingPhase 4
Magnesium study for kids having appendix surgery
This trial tests if magnesium sulfate can help children recover better after laparoscopic appendix removal. It aims to see if it reduces pain or other problems during and after surgery.
WarsawAges 1.5 years–18 years - NCT06624215Recruiting
Acute Appendectomy Study Comparing Robotic and Laparoscopic Surgery
This study looks back at records of adults who had emergency appendix surgery (robotic or laparoscopic) for acute appendicitis. It aims to compare outcomes of different surgical approaches to help doctors choose the best option.
Columbus, OhioAges 22 years+ - NCT06699433Recruiting
AI virtual pediatric patient training for primary care doctors
This trial uses artificial intelligence to create virtual standardized pediatric patients. It helps train doctors who work in primary care settings, like community health centers and clinics.
Guiyang, GuizhouAges Any age - 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 - NCT06815822Recruiting
Preventing hernias after emergency surgery
This study tests a way to prevent hernias after emergency belly surgery. If you are having emergency surgery for certain conditions, you may be able to join.
KielceAges 18–100 - NCT06860802RecruitingPhase 1
Precision antibiotic dosing for appendix removal
This trial tests a more precise way to give antibiotics before and after appendix removal surgery. It aims to find the best dose for each patient to reduce infections and side effects.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT07115303Recruiting
Comparing clips vs. sutures for appendix stump closure
This trial compares two ways to close the stump of the appendix during laparoscopic (minimally invasive) appendix removal: using clips versus tying a knot. The goal is to see which method works better and is safer for patients with simple appendicitis.
SohagAges Any age - NCT07579312Recruiting
Blood Test for Diagnosing Belly Infections in Kids and Adults
This study tests whether a simple blood test measuring RNA levels can help doctors quickly identify intra-abdominal infections (infections inside the belly) in patients with abdominal pain. If successful, it could help doctors decide faster whether imaging or surgery is needed.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for appendicitis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 36 recruiting appendicitis studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a appendicitis 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 appendicitis 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.
