Aurora, ColoradoAges 12–17 - NCT07265557Recruiting
Comparing two pain plans after orthopedic surgery
This trial compares two different pain medication plans after major orthopedic surgery. It aims to find which plan helps you recover with less pain and fewer side effects.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04109638Recruiting
PEMF therapy to reduce pain after shoulder or knee surgery
This trial studies whether PEMF, a type of non-surgical device that uses pulsed electromagnetic fields, can reduce pain after shoulder or knee surgery. If you join, you’ll also be expected to do post-surgery physical therapy exercises and report your pain and function.
Redwood City, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04912531Recruiting
Virtual reality and smell tools to ease surgery pain
This trial tests whether a combination of virtual reality and guided smells can reduce pain and anxiety around major heart and chest surgeries. If you’re scheduled for one of the listed operations, the study may help make recovery feel more comfortable by using sensory-based distraction.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07824258RecruitingPhase 1
Pain relief study after vasectomy
This study tests whether a pain-relief method helps reduce discomfort after a vasectomy. It may help you recover more comfortably.
New York, New YorkAges 18–65 - NCT07222072RecruitingPhase 4
Methadone to reduce opioid use after spine surgery
This study tests whether giving methadone during and after major spine surgery can help reduce the need for other opioid pain medicines later. It is for adults having multilevel fusion in the lower or mid-back.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–72 - NCT06471348Recruiting
Pain control after scoliosis surgery: comparing two numbing medicines
This study compares two types of numbing medicine used during scoliosis surgery to see which provides better pain relief after the operation. One is a long-acting version (liposomal bupivacaine) and the other is a standard short-acting mix (bupivacaine with epinephrine). If you are a teen having surgery for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis, this trial may help find a way to reduce pain and possibly lessen the need for opioids afterward.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 10–17 - NCT07789548RecruitingPhase 4
Lower dose neck block for thyroid surgery
This study compares two doses of a numbing medicine injected near the nerves in your neck before thyroid surgery. The goal is to see if a lower dose provides enough pain relief with fewer side effects, such as affecting your breathing.
AsyutAges 18–65 - NCT07666646Recruiting
Nerve block comparison for lung function after gallbladder surgery
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks to see which one better preserves lung function after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. It may help patients recover breathing ability more quickly after surgery.
Kayseri, KocasinanAges 18–70 - NCT07556536Recruiting
Nerve block comparison for kidney removal surgery pain
This trial tests two different types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) to see which one works better at controlling pain after open kidney removal surgery. You would receive one of these blocks during surgery to help reduce pain and the amount of strong pain medication you need afterward.
Al FayyumAges 18–65 - NCT07546903Recruiting
Pain relief methods for hip fracture surgery

You might join if you’re a generally healthy surgical patient and aren’t using certain related medicines.
CairoAges 21–45 - NCT06088420Recruiting
Pain relief after cesarean section with nerve blocks

- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 87 recruiting chronic post operative pain 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 chronic post operative pain 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 chronic post operative pain 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.
