Recruiting studies
- NCT07233811Recruiting
Same-day discharge after robotic hysterectomy
This trial tests if it's safe and beneficial to go home the same day after robotic hysterectomy, compared to staying overnight. It includes women with both benign conditions and endometrial cancer, regardless of weight or uterus size.
StockholmAges 18–75 - NCT05575323Recruiting
Same-day radiation and stabilization for spine metastases
This trial tests whether giving focused radiation (SBRT) on the same day as spine surgery to stabilize the spine helps control symptoms from spinal metastases. It may help reduce pain and improve stability, especially when tumors threaten or affect the spine’s strength.
UtrechtAges 18 years+ - NCT03661645Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Steroid dose taper after orthopedic surgery
This trial tests whether a planned, gradually stopping steroid medicine (methylprednisolone) after certain orthopedic surgeries helps with recovery or symptoms. It compares a post-surgery steroid taper to other routine care and focuses on safety and outcomes after surgery.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18–95 - NCT06846944Recruiting
Relaxation technique for anxiety before children's surgery
This study tests a relaxation method to help children aged 5 to 15 feel less anxious before minor surgery. Children having low-intensity procedures like hernia repair or cyst removal at Meyer Hospital may take part.
Florence, FiAges 5–15 - NCT07481188Recruiting
Predicting survival after hip fracture with frailty and a score
This study looks at whether a simple score (Nottingham Hip Fracture Score) and a frailty check can help predict survival after hip fracture surgery. It aims to help doctors better understand risks for older adults who need hip surgery.
EdirneAges 60 years+ - NCT04359069Recruiting
Shorter urinary catheter time after pelvic surgery
This study looks at whether the urinary (Foley) catheter can stay in place for a shorter time after certain pelvic operations. It aims to see if timing of catheter removal is safer and more comfortable, especially for bladder function.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04670523Recruiting
Remove chest tube on day 0 after minor lung surgery
This trial tests whether it is safe to take out a chest tube right on the day of surgery (day 0) after certain small, camera-assisted lung/pleura procedures. It may help reduce time the tube stays in and improve comfort, as long as your specific surgery and recovery risk fit the study plan.
BernAges 18–99 - NCT07083076Recruiting
Regular diet vs low residue diet after colon surgery
This study compares a regular diet to a low residue diet (a diet low in fiber) after colon surgery to see if patients can eat normally without issues. It may help determine if a regular diet is safe and better for recovery.
Manhasset, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06769087Enrolling by invitation
Removing urinary catheter right after colorectal cancer surgery
This study compares taking out the urinary catheter immediately after colorectal cancer surgery versus leaving it in for one day. It aims to see which approach leads to fewer complications and faster recovery.
Seoul, SeoulAges 19–80 - NCT04996511Recruiting
Short-stay colon surgery optimization study
This study looks at how to improve care and planning for people having colon surgery as a short hospital stay. It may help hospitals run the process more smoothly and safely.
LahtiAges 18–100 - NCT07444528Enrolling by invitation
Neck ultrasound to predict difficult breathing tube placement in babies
This study uses an ultrasound of the neck to see if doctors can predict which babies under 1 year old might have a harder time getting a breathing tube placed. The goal is to improve safety during anesthesia and procedures.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges Up to 12 months - NCT03609580RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing Flomax to prevent urine retention after chest surgery
This study looks at whether starting Flomax around the time of thoracic (chest) surgery can help prevent a painful problem called urinary retention (not being able to pee after surgery). You might benefit if you’re at risk of not urinating after your operation and can safely take Flomax.
Hackensack, New JerseyAges 50 years+ - NCT06731855Recruiting
Recovery study: blood markers in newborns after intestine surgery
This study looks at blood markers in newborns after major stomach or intestine surgery. It aims to understand recovery and could help improve care for babies with similar conditions.
Liverpool, MerseysideAges Up to 5 days - NCT06902467Recruiting
Chemotherapy directly into the abdomen after surgery for advanced ovarian cancer
This trial tests giving chemotherapy directly into the abdomen (intraperitoneal) after optimal surgery for advanced ovarian cancer. It aims to see if this approach is safe and effective for women who have already received 3-4 cycles of chemotherapy before surgery.
MurciaAges 18–70 - NCT05520593Recruiting
Drinking plan before surgery to support same-day joint replacement
This trial tests whether a specific pre-surgery oral drinking (hydration) plan can help people feel and recover better after outpatient (same-day) hip or knee replacement surgery. It may help support safe same-day discharge for the right patients.
New York, New YorkAges 18–75 - NCT05356000Recruiting
Testing how oxalate is absorbed to help prevent kidney stones
This study looks at how your body absorbs oxalate, a natural chemical that can contribute to calcium kidney stones. If you’ve had calcium stones—especially with high urine oxalate—it may help researchers find ways to reduce future stone risk.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–70 - NCT02701153Recruiting
Short pre-surgery radiation for soft-tissue sarcoma
This trial tests a short course of radiation before surgery to shrink a soft-tissue sarcoma and make it easier to remove. It may help by improving how well the tumor can be removed, while studying safety and effectiveness for this cancer type.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06706258RecruitingPhase 2
Preventing kidney injury after heart surgery with a stomach acid drug
This trial tests whether giving a common stomach acid medication (a proton pump inhibitor) before, during, and after heart surgery can help prevent acute kidney injury. If you are at moderate to high risk for kidney problems after surgery, this study may be a good fit.
Houston, TexasAges 18–90 - NCT06988696Recruiting
Heated socks during bladder tumor surgery to prevent hypothermia
This study tests whether wearing heated socks during bladder tumor surgery helps keep your body temperature stable and your vital signs normal. Patients who are comfortable with heated socks and meet other health criteria may join.
Samsun, Atakum/SamsunAges 20–90 - NCT06889532Recruiting
Wound care after sarcoma surgery: vacuum or standard dressing?
This study compares two wound care methods after surgery to remove a large sarcoma (a type of cancer) from the leg or groin. It tests whether a special vacuum dressing helps the wound heal better than standard care.
