Local anesthesia for Rezum treatment of enlarged prostate
This trial tests if a special catheter that numbs the prostate (Schelin catheter) works better than standard local anesthesia during Rezum, a steam treatment for enlarged prostate. It aims to make the procedure less painful for men with bothersome urinary symptoms.
MarseilleAges 18–80 - NCT07854704Recruiting
Controlled body temperature during long abdominal surgery
This study tests a method to keep the body temperature stable during long abdominal surgery. It may help reduce complications and improve recovery.
Saint PetersburgAges 18 years+ - NCT07294040Recruiting
Low blood pressure after anesthesia in older cancer surgery patients
This study looks at what causes low blood pressure after anesthesia starts in older patients with cancer who are having surgery. It may help doctors prevent complications.
Ankara, AnkaraAges 65 years+ - NCT07176494Recruiting
Revision of Deep Brain Stimulator in Parkinson's Disease
This study is for people with Parkinson's disease who need to have their deep brain stimulator (a device that sends electrical pulses to control movement) replaced or adjusted. The researchers want to learn the best way to do this procedure safely.
Ankara, Yenimahalle\AnkaraAges 40–85 - NCT07271849RecruitingPhase 4
Timing of Nalbuphine for Pain and Blood Pressure in Older Knee Surgery Patients
This study tests whether giving the pain medicine nalbuphine at different times during knee replacement surgery affects blood pressure and pain control in older adults. It may help find the best timing to reduce pain and keep vital signs stable.
Jinan, ShandongAges 65–90 - NCT07108439Recruiting
Numbing technique for tooth removal in children under anesthesia
This study tests a special numbing technique (intraosseous anesthesia) for removing permanent back teeth in children who are already under general anesthesia for dental treatments. The goal is to see if it helps reduce pain after the procedure.
GhentAges 6–12 - NCT07309575Recruiting
Hip fracture surgery: regional vs. general anesthesia
This trial compares two types of anesthesia (regional, which numbs just the hip area, vs. general, which puts you fully asleep) to see which one helps with breathing after surgery. It is for patients over 65 having hip fracture surgery.
Lisbon, Lisbon DistrictAges 65 years+ - NCT07280546Recruiting
Breath sounds study during surgery
This trial studies breath sounds during planned surgeries under general anesthesia. It aims to understand how breath sounds change during procedures, which may help doctors improve monitoring and care.
TaipeiAges 20 years+ - NCT07877090Recruiting
Brain activity during anesthesia in people with obesity
This study looks at how anesthesia affects brain waves in people with obesity compared to people with normal weight. It may help doctors understand if anesthesia needs to be adjusted for people with obesity.
Düzce, DüzceAges 18 years+ - NCT06814054Recruiting
Predicting low blood pressure after anesthesia in older patients
This study uses ultrasound measurements of the carotid artery and vena cava to predict if older patients might experience low blood pressure after going under general anesthesia for elective surgery. If successful, it could help doctors take preventive steps.
Tanta, El GharbyiaAges 65 years+ - NCT05210764Recruiting
EEG brain activity changes during pediatric surgery under anesthesia
This study looks at how the brain’s electrical activity (measured with a painless EEG sensor) changes in children during planned surgery using common anesthesia medicines. It may help doctors better understand brain effects of anesthesia in healthy children having non–head or non–heart surgery.
BeijingAges 1 minute–18 years - NCT04307238Recruiting
Anesthesia types and eye response after planned ENT surgery
This study compares different types of general anesthesia by checking how your pupils (the black part of the eye) respond after surgery. It may help doctors understand which anesthesia options are better for eye-related side effects after planned ear, nose, or throat operations.
Vienna, State of ViennaAges 18–99 - NCT07179432Recruiting
Facial mask breathing support: comparing two techniques
This trial tests two different hand techniques for holding a face mask during general anesthesia. It aims to find which method works better for helping patients breathe, and may be relevant for anyone having planned surgery under general anesthesia.
Medellín, AntioquiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06270797Recruiting
Pre-anesthesia imaging to assess your breathing passages
This study tests a new way to check your breathing passages using images taken before anesthesia. It aims to help doctors plan safer airways for surgery.
Kaohsiung City, Sanmin DistAges 18–85 - NCT07334418Recruiting
General anesthesia for trauma prevention during C-section
This study tests if giving general anesthesia early during a C-section can reduce traumatic experiences for women who feel severe pain despite standard pain relief options.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07211828Recruiting
Brain activity and pain signals during anesthesia study
This study looks at how opioids and sedatives affect brain activity and pain signals in patients getting anesthesia for an ERCP procedure.
MiaoliAges 18 years+ - NCT07001267Recruiting
Comparing two anesthetics for stroke procedure recovery
This trial tests whether a sedative given through an IV or a gas you breathe affects recovery after surgery to remove a blood clot in the brain. It may help find the best way to keep you comfortable during the procedure to improve how well you do after three months.
Kansas City, KansasAges 18 years+ - NCT05911139Enrolling by invitation
Study how anesthesia affects brain injury markers in craniosynostosis surgery
This study looks at how general anesthesia may affect “brain injury marker” levels during and after surgery for single-suture craniosynostosis in infants. It may help doctors better understand anesthesia timing and safety for babies having corrective surgery.
BratislavaAges Up to 18 years - NCT04344262Recruiting
Testing a small dose muscle relaxant during general anesthesia
This trial studies whether a small dose of a muscle-relaxing medicine works safely for people having surgery under general anesthesia. You might be a candidate if you fit the age and surgical setup, and you don’t have certain health problems or medication issues.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for general anesthesia?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 176 recruiting general anesthesia 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 general anesthesia 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 general anesthesia 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.
