Comparing minimally invasive vs. traditional bypass for multi-vessel heart disease
This study compares two types of heart bypass surgery for people with blockages in multiple heart arteries: a newer, less invasive technique (minimally invasive CABG) versus the traditional open-chest approach. It aims to see which approach leads to better recovery and outcomes.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT06782841Recruiting
Comparing three laryngeal masks for side-lying surgeries under general anesthesia
This trial tests three different breathing tube devices (laryngeal masks) used during general anesthesia when patients are lying on their side. The goal is to see which one works best for surgeries lasting less than three hours.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT02792270Recruiting
Calorie reduction during pre-surgery radiation for leg sarcoma
This trial studies whether eating fewer calories before surgery, along with standard pre-surgery radiation, can improve outcomes for adults with leg soft-tissue sarcoma. If you qualify, you’d follow a calorie-reduction plan and then proceed to surgical removal of the tumor.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07454629Recruiting
BIS monitoring and recovery after gallbladder surgery
This trial tests whether a special monitor that tracks your brain activity during anesthesia can improve how quickly and well you recover after gallbladder removal surgery.
Sakarya, SerdivanAges 18–65 - NCT06296173Recruiting
Lung-protective breathing tube removal after surgery
This study tests a special breathing tube removal method during surgery recovery to protect your lungs. It may help you breathe better after your abdominal surgery.
Ottawa, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06766253Recruiting
Comparing three breathing tube devices for head-down laparoscopic surgery
This study is comparing three different breathing tube devices (GMA-TULIP, I-gel, and BlockBuster Laryngeal Mask) for people having laparoscopic surgery while tilted head-down. The goal is to see which device works best and most safely.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07020390Recruiting
How anesthesia affects recovery after prostate surgery
This trial compares different anesthesia methods to see which helps patients recover better after HOLEP surgery for an enlarged prostate. Results could help choose the best anesthesia for future patients.
Melikgazi, KayseriAges 18 years+ - NCT07462195RecruitingPhase 4
Dexmedetomidine for smoother recovery after thyroid surgery
This trial tests whether adding a medicine called dexmedetomidine during thyroid surgery helps you wake up more calmly and comfortably. It may reduce side effects like confusion or shakiness after anesthesia.
HanoiAges 18–65 - NCT06101511Recruiting
Breathing tube pressure for safer abdominal surgery
This trial is testing if using less air pressure from the breathing machine during abdominal surgery can help prevent lung complications. If you are at higher risk for breathing problems after surgery, this study may help find a safer way to manage your breathing during the operation.
Amsterdam, NoordhollandAges 18–100 - NCT06753409Recruiting
Brain monitoring during anesthesia for major abdominal surgery
This study tests whether using a special brain wave monitor during anesthesia can improve recovery for people having major abdominal surgery lasting more than two hours.
AsyutAges 18–70 - NCT05444751Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
Different pain medicine plans for back surgery
This Phase 3 study compares two combinations of anesthesia and pain medications during lumbar decompression surgery, to see which helps more. It may help patients by aiming for better pain control and recovery using one planned medication approach.
New York, New YorkAges 18–80 - NCT07642765Recruiting
Frailty Score and Blood Pressure Changes During Surgery
This study looks at a simple scoring system (EASIX) that predicts whether older or frail patients will experience dangerous blood pressure drops when anesthesia is given before surgery. Understanding this risk might help doctors better protect vulnerable patients during their operations.
KonyaAges 18 years+ - NCT07601737RecruitingPhase 2
Nimotuzumab with immunotherapy and chemotherapy for head and neck cancer
This trial tests a combination of three treatments—nimotuzumab (a targeted therapy), a PD-1 inhibitor (which boosts your immune system), and chemotherapy—followed by surgery for locally advanced head and neck squamous cell carcinoma. The goal is to shrink the tumor and improve survival.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT06620588Recruiting
Preparing older adults for major surgery
This trial tests a program to help prepare adults over 65 who are having major non-cardiac surgery. It focuses on those who are frail and may need extra support before and after the operation.
Singapore, SingaporeAges 65–100 - NCT07158528Recruiting
Gum grafting study for multiple receding gums in upper jaw
This study compares two gum grafting techniques (CAF and TCAF) to see which one works better for treating multiple receding gums in the upper jaw. It may help if you have gum recession and want a treatment to cover the exposed roots.
Ghent, Oost-VlaanderenAges 18 years+ - NCT07436013Recruiting
Comparing two types of weight-loss revision surgery after sleeve gastrectomy
This trial compares two surgical options for people who have regained weight or didn't lose enough after a sleeve gastrectomy. It tests whether adding a ring to the standard revision surgery helps with long-term weight loss.
Alexandria, Alexandria GovernorateAges 18–65 - NCT04808401Recruiting
Testing how different oxygen levels affect surgery outcomes
This trial studies whether giving higher or lower oxygen during general anesthesia changes heart and lung outcomes after planned (non-emergency) non-heart surgery. It may help doctors choose safer oxygen settings during surgery for people at higher risk for heart problems.
BernAges 18 years+ - NCT06092671Recruiting
Can FPCA prevent confusion in young kids after surgery?
This study tests whether a medicine called FPCA can prevent sudden confusion (delirium) in young children after surgery. If your child is having short surgery with mask anesthesia for the first time, this study may help them have a smoother recovery.
