High vs. low dose pain block after minimally invasive heart valve surgery
This trial compares two doses of a numbing medicine injected into the chest wall to control pain after heart valve surgery. If you qualify, you will receive either a higher or lower dose of the pain block to see which provides better pain relief and recovery.

Robot-assisted vs. traditional sleeve gastrectomy
This study compares two types of weight-loss surgery: one done with the help of a robot and the other done by hand (laparoscopic). Both are types of sleeve gastrectomy, where the stomach is reduced in size. If you qualify for sleeve gastrectomy, this trial may help doctors learn which method works better.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–70 - NCT06434233RecruitingPhase 4
Opioid use after fallopian tube removal surgery
This study looks at how much opioid pain medicine people need after having their fallopian tubes removed through small incisions (laparoscopic or robotic salpingectomy). It aims to see if the usual pain medicine can be reduced to decrease opioid use.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06568770RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Comparing two nerve blocks for femur fracture surgery pain
This trial tests if one type of nerve block (PENG block) works better than another (S-FICB) for controlling pain during and after femur fracture surgery. Both blocks are guided by ultrasound to help with your recovery.
Sahiwal, Punjab ProvinceAges 20–70 - NCT06639438Recruiting
Sensory outcomes in people who use opioids
This study looks at how opioids affect the senses in people having planned surgery. Researchers want to compare patients who use opioids (for pain or addiction) with those who don't, to see if there are differences in sensation.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06653803Recruiting
Nerve blocks for pain after chest wall surgery
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (rhomboid intercostal and retrolaminar) to see which provides better pain relief after a type of chest surgery called thoracoscopic sympathectomy. If you are having this surgery, you may be eligible to join.
Damanhūr, El-BeheiraAges 18–60 - NCT06671002RecruitingPhase 4
Pain medicine safety study for kids having surgery
This study compares different pain medicines to see which works best and is safest for children after surgery for tonsil removal, gallbladder removal, or knee arthroscopy. It aims to help find the most effective and least risky pain control option.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 12–20 - NCT06677606Recruiting
Nerve block vs anesthetic infiltration for hip surgery
This trial compares two ways to manage pain after hip replacement surgery: a nerve block (PENG block) versus injecting anesthetic near the hip. The goal is to see which provides better pain relief.
Al FayyumAges 50–90 - NCT06852248Recruiting
Green dye vs. ureter stent for endometriosis surgery
This trial compares two ways of protecting the ureter during deep endometriosis surgery: placing a small tube (stent) versus using a green dye (indocyanine green) to see the ureter. The goal is to see if the dye works just as well but causes less pain and fewer side effects afterward.
Stoke-on-Trent, StaffordshireAges 18–50 - NCT07094386Recruiting
Pain relief study after open upper abdominal surgery
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks to control pain after open upper abdominal surgery. It aims to find which block works better and may help you recover with less pain.
CairoAges 18–60 - NCT07202416Recruiting
Pain relief after c-section: nerve block vs spinal morphine
This study compares two ways to manage pain after a planned cesarean section: a nerve block near the spine (ESPB) versus morphine injected into the spinal fluid. The goal is to find which method helps mothers recover more comfortably.
Cesena, ForlìAges 18–45 - NCT07539623RecruitingPhase 3
Pain relief with suzetrigine after heart or weight-loss surgery
This study tests whether suzetrigine, a new pain medication, can reduce the need for opioids (strong painkillers) after cardiac or bariatric surgery. The goal is to help patients manage pain with fewer opioid-related side effects.
New York, New YorkAges 18–85 - NCT07546903Recruiting
Pain relief methods for hip fracture surgery
This study compares two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) used to reduce pain after hip fracture surgery. Researchers want to see which method works better to help patients recover with less pain.
ÇorumAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT07513012Enrolling by invitation
Pain Relief Methods After Gallbladder Removal Surgery
This study compares two ways of numbing the abdomen during gallbladder removal surgery to see which one works better for pain relief. One method numbs one side of your belly, and the other numbs both sides.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 18–80 - NCT06635889RecruitingPhase 2
Numbing medicine in bladder after kidney stone surgery
This study tests whether numbing medicine placed directly into the bladder can reduce pain after a ureteroscopy procedure for kidney stones. It may help you feel better and use less pain medication after surgery.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07388953Recruiting
Nerve block for better pain relief after colon surgery
This study tests adding a special nerve block (peripheral autonomic block) to a standard abdominal wall block to see if it provides better pain relief after minimally invasive left-sided colon surgery. It may help patients experience less pain and use fewer pain medications.
Belo Horizonte, Minas GeraisAges 18–80 - NCT07528482Recruiting
Reflexology and cold therapy for chest tube removal pain
This study tests whether foot massage (reflexology) and cold application can reduce pain when chest tubes are removed after heart bypass surgery. Researchers want to see if these complementary techniques help manage discomfort during this procedure.
AnkaraAges 18 years+ - NCT07041424Enrolling by invitation
Bonding methods for filling cavities to reduce tooth sensitivity
This trial tests two ways of bonding a tooth-colored filling to see which reduces tooth sensitivity after the procedure. It may help if you have a moderate cavity on a back tooth that causes brief pain or sensitivity.
Islamabad, FederalAges 18 years+ - NCT05204472Recruiting
Deep brain stimulation for ongoing nerve pain after stroke or facial nerve issues
This trial studies whether a special brain device (deep brain stimulation, or DBS) can reduce long-lasting nerve pain. It focuses on one-sided pain after certain brain injuries or specific facial nerve pain causes, especially when medicines haven’t helped enough.
BernAges 18–75 - NCT06027099RecruitingPhase 3
Testing tizanidine to help reduce opioids after surgery
This study tests whether adding a low-dose muscle relaxant (tizanidine) to your pain plan after surgery can help you safely lower your opioid use. It's for people who have been on long-term opioids and are having surgery at specific hospitals.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT06533917Recruiting
Spinal cord stimulation for chronic abdominal pain
This trial tests whether spinal cord stimulation (a device that sends mild electrical pulses to nerves in your spine) can reduce chronic abdominal pain that hasn't improved with standard care. It might be an option if you've tried medications or nerve blocks without success.

- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 94 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.
