Recruiting studies
- NCT07535281Recruiting
Kidney Stone Surgery Technique and Recovery Study
This study tests a technique during kidney stone removal surgery (RIRS) where the surgeon fully drains the kidney system at the end of the procedure. Researchers want to see if this approach improves how quickly patients recover and reduces complications.
Gandong-gu, Outside U.S./CanadaAges 20–80 - NCT07541612Recruiting
Monitoring Spinal Cord Blood Flow During Aortic Surgery
This study tests a non-invasive monitoring device (NIRS) that tracks blood flow to the spinal cord during planned aortic surgery. The goal is to better understand and prevent spinal cord damage that can cause paralysis after major aortic procedures.
Naples, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT07614399Recruiting
Conservative vs surgical treatment for post-surgery fluid buildup
This trial compares two approaches to treating a fluid pocket that sometimes forms under the scalp after brain surgery: watchful waiting versus a procedure to fix it. The study helps doctors understand which approach works best and is safest for patients.
Prague, PragueAges 18–80 - NCT07620184Recruiting
Parotid Gland Surgery With or Without a Drain
This study compares two ways to do parotid gland surgery (removal of a gland in front of the ear). One method uses a drain tube to remove fluid after surgery, and the other does not. Researchers want to see if skipping the drain is safe and improves recovery.
StockholmAges 18 years+ - NCT07640243Recruiting
Sedation Methods for Bile Duct Drainage Procedures
This study compares different sedation (sleep) methods used during a procedure to drain blocked bile ducts. Researchers want to see which sedation approach gives patients the best experience and fastest recovery.
Ankara, AnkaraAges 18 years+ - NCT07003685Enrolling by invitation
Glaucoma drainage device for hard-to-treat glaucoma
This study tests a posterior chamber drainage device for people with glaucoma that is not controlled by eye drops, especially those who have already had cataract surgery. It aims to help lower eye pressure safely and prevent further vision loss.
Ho Chi Minh City, Ho Chi MinhAges 18 years+ - NCT06911437Enrolling by invitation
Knee pain relief with Chinese formula and massage
This study tests if combining a Chinese herbal formula called Xiaoyu Zhitong with a gentle drainage massage can reduce knee pain and swelling. It may help people whose knee symptoms are worse in cold, damp weather.
BeijingAges 25–70 - NCT06571565Enrolling by invitationEarly Phase 1
Manual lymph drainage for fibromyalgia patients
This trial tests whether manual lymph drainage (a gentle massage technique that helps move fluid in the body) can help reduce pain and other symptoms in women with fibromyalgia. It may offer a new, drug-free option to feel better.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for drainage?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 104 recruiting drainage 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 drainage 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 drainage 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.
