Recruiting studies
- NCT07386379Recruiting
Propofol infusion for nausea after heart bypass surgery
This study tests whether a continuous infusion of propofol (a common anesthesia medicine) during and after heart bypass surgery can reduce postoperative nausea and vomiting. If you are having planned bypass surgery and meet basic health criteria, this trial may help find a better way to feel more comfortable after your operation.
Istanbul, Outside of the USAges 18 years+ - NCT07332806Recruiting
When to remove the breathing tube after robot surgery
This study looks at whether removing the breathing tube in the operating room versus the recovery room affects how quickly the operating room is ready for the next surgery. If you are having robot-assisted surgery with general anesthesia, you may be able to join.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07287280Recruiting
Predicting surgery complications in gynecologic cancer
This study is comparing two different tools that doctors use to predict complications from gynecologic cancer surgery. The goal is to see which tool works better for planned (non-emergency) surgeries.
BangkokAges 18 years+ - NCT07062497RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Clonidine in nerve block for umbilical hernia repair
This trial tests if adding clonidine to a numbing injection (nerve block) improves pain control after outpatient umbilical hernia repair. It aims to reduce the need for pain medicines and enhance recovery.
Rio de Janeiro, Rio de JaneiroAges 18–65 - NCT06650878Recruiting
Desarda vs Lichtenstein hernia repair comparison
This trial compares two surgical techniques for repairing a first-time inguinal hernia (a bulge in the groin). Both methods aim to fix the hernia with a mesh, but the Desarda technique uses a piece of your own abdominal muscle, while the Lichtenstein technique uses a synthetic mesh. The study will see which approach leads to fewer complications and better recovery.
Sant Pere de Ribes, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06731998Recruiting
Improving pain control after cancer surgery
This study compares different methods of managing pain after minimally invasive surgery for abdominal cancers. It aims to find which approach works best to reduce pain and improve recovery.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–89 - NCT05901545RecruitingPhase 1
Test an iodine-labeled drug to map neck lymph nodes
This Phase 1 study tests a labelling of panitumumab with iodine (111In) to see how well it can identify lymph nodes in head and neck cancer before surgery. The goal is to improve lymph node staging (which can help guide treatment), with the main focus on safety and early performance.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 19 years+ - NCT04982653RecruitingPhase 2
Stitch type study to prevent hernia after liver surgery
This trial compares two ways of closing the belly incision after open liver surgery to see which best lowers the chance of getting an incisional hernia (a bulge near the scar). It may help by guiding surgeons toward the closure method that prevents hernias better.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03489499Recruiting
Genetic testing study of pain after planned surgery
This study looks at whether genetic differences can help predict how much pain you may have after an elective (planned) operation. If you qualify, you may be asked to give consent and share information so researchers can compare pain experiences across people.
BernAges 18 years+ - NCT04251052Recruiting
Compare two surgeries to lower ovarian cancer risk in BRCA1 carriers
This study compares two risk-reducing surgery plans for people with a BRCA1 genetic change to see which approach helps lower ovarian cancer risk. You may be asked to have the study procedure sooner or later depending on your chosen plan.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 35–50 - NCT04014647Recruiting
Blood test to predict heart risk during planned surgery
This trial checks a blood test called NT-proBNP (a marker related to heart stress) to help predict outcomes after planned surgery. It may help doctors identify which patients are at higher risk so they can tailor monitoring and care.
Norwich, NorfolkAges 18 years+ - NCT07355452Enrolling by invitation
Leg closure after heart bypass vein harvesting
This trial compares two ways of closing the leg after doctors remove a vein for heart bypass surgery. The goal is to see which method leads to better healing and fewer complications.
Karachi, SindhAges 18–70

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for elective surgical procedures?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 36 recruiting elective surgical procedures 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 elective surgical procedures 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 elective surgical procedures 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.
