Electrical acupoint stimulation for better recovery after urologic surgery
This trial tests if using mild electrical stimulation on specific acupoints (similar to acupuncture without needles) can help your stomach and bowels get back to normal faster after laparoscopic kidney or prostate surgery.
Xiamen, FujianAges 18 years+ - NCT05694338Recruiting
Study frailty during major surgery for gut cancer
This trial studies how “frailty” affects people with gastrointestinal (gut) cancer who are about to have major surgery, sometimes after chemotherapy or other treatment beforehand. It may help doctors better prepare and support patients through surgery.
East Corning, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06514170Recruiting
Stomach and bowel function after aortic surgery
This study looks at how stomach and bowel function changes after major aortic surgery. It may help doctors understand and prevent digestive problems in patients who need extended time on a ventilator after surgery.
Mexico City, TlalpanAges 18 years+ - NCT06466096Recruiting
Thinking and memory after stomach/colon cancer surgery
This study looks at how older adults (65+) think and remember after surgery for gastrointestinal cancer. It compares those who have temporary confusion after surgery with those who don't, to understand long-term changes in brain function.
BeijingAges 65–100 - NCT07561840Recruiting
Exercise Training After Stomach or Esophagus Cancer Surgery
This study tests whether a guided exercise program helps people recover better after surgery for esophageal or gastric (stomach) cancer. Researchers will track your strength, fitness, and quality of life over time.
Hirakata, OsakaAges 18 years+ - NCT07763379Recruiting
Blood test for early detection of leaks after intestinal surgery
This study checks whether a simple blood test for C-reactive protein (CRP) can help doctors spot a leak early after intestinal surgery. A leak is a serious complication where the repaired area opens up, and early detection may lead to quicker treatment and better recovery.
Sohag, Sohag GovernorateAges 18–70 - NCT05828862Recruiting
Checks blood-pressure drops during major upper stomach surgery
This trial studies what happens when blood pressure drops during planned (elective) major upper gastrointestinal surgery and looks at related blood chemistry. Your care team may collect samples during the operation to understand why this happens and how to improve outcomes.
TaipeiAges 20–80 - NCT07552805Recruiting
Home monitoring device after major digestive surgery
This study tests a wearable patch called Multisense that monitors your health at home after major gastrointestinal surgery. It's designed to catch problems early so you can stay safe and avoid returning to the hospital.
Nice, Alpes-MaritimesAges 18 years+ - NCT06359106RecruitingPhase 4
Oxygen levels and lung health in older surgical patients
This trial tests whether a lower or higher oxygen concentration during surgery can help protect lung function in older adults. It focuses on people 65 and older having laparoscopic gastrointestinal surgery.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 65 years+ - NCT06316245Recruiting
Recovery after major gastrointestinal surgery
This study looks at how well you recover after major or intermediate surgery on your stomach, intestines, colon, or rectum. It measures your ability to do daily activities and how many days you spend at home (instead of the hospital) in the first 30 days after surgery.
Istanbul, FatihAges 18 years+ - NCT06542978Recruiting
Can brain stimulation prevent confusion after gastrointestinal surgery?
This study is testing whether using a gentle 40Hz brain stimulation (called transcranial stimulation) during recovery after surgery can help prevent confusion or delirium in older adults. Delirium is a common problem after major surgery, and this treatment is non-invasive (no surgery or needles) and done while you rest.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 65 years+ - NCT07539532Recruiting
AI model to predict heart problems after stomach surgery
This study compares a new artificial intelligence tool with traditional methods to predict which patients might have heart-related complications after gastrointestinal surgery. The goal is to find better ways to identify high-risk patients and potentially improve their care.
Hà NộiAges 16 years+ - NCT06926374Recruiting
Robotic surgery for gastrointestinal and urologic conditions
This trial tests a new robotic surgery system for common operations on the colon, rectum, prostate, kidney, bladder, stomach, esophagus, gallbladder, and hiatal hernia. It may offer a less invasive option for patients who need surgery for these conditions.
Hong KongAges 18–80 - NCT04557969Recruiting
Surgery and tumor testing in gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST)
This study looks at how surgery for gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) works, and collects tumor samples to study them under the microscope and by DNA testing. Your results may help researchers better predict tumor behavior and guide future treatment.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 6 years+ - NCT05808712Recruiting
Study how cancer care feels when surgery is stopped
This study looks at the quality of cancer care and patient experience in people over 18 who have gastrointestinal cancer diagnoses. It especially focuses on situations where cancer surgery is aborted or stopped and asks patients to complete a Swedish questionnaire.
LinköpingAges 18 years+ - NCT06513598Recruiting
Finding infection signs after abdominal cancer surgery
This study looks for ways to better predict and catch infections after major abdominal cancer surgery. If you are having surgery for certain cancers (esophagus, stomach, pancreas, liver, bile ducts, colon, or rectum), the researchers will check your blood and other samples for early signs of infection so they can start treatment sooner.
VilniusAges 18 years+ - NCT07607249Enrolling by invitation
Floating Needle Treatment for Stomach Issues After Knee Surgery
This trial tests whether a traditional Chinese acupuncture technique called 'floating needle' can help with stomach and bowel problems that sometimes happen after knee surgery under general anesthesia. You would receive this treatment along with standard post-surgery care to see if it reduces nausea, constipation, or other digestive issues.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT06063577Recruiting
A study to see if a special stitch can prevent hernia after belly surgery
This trial tests whether using a special type of suture (called Stratafix Symmetric) during surgery can help prevent an incisional hernia from forming after abdominal or gastrointestinal cancer surgery. If you are having certain types of major abdominal surgery, this study might be an option for you at the West Michigan Cancer Center.

- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 37 recruiting gastrointestinal surgery 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 gastrointestinal surgery 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 gastrointestinal surgery 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.
