Recruiting studies
- NCT06185829Recruiting
Hypnosis versus sedation for hand surgery
This trial compares two ways to help you relax during hand surgery: hypnoanalgesia (using focused attention and suggestions) versus standard sedation. It aims to see which method provides better comfort and recovery.
Champigny-sur-MarneAges 18–80 - NCT06826690RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing pain medicine mixes for hand surgery wrist blocks
This trial tests different combinations of numbing medicines injected around the wrist before hand surgery. The goal is to find which mix provides the best pain relief with fewer side effects.
Aswān, Aswan GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT07151443Recruiting
Comparing two ways to numb the arm for hand surgery in people with obesity
This study compares two ways of numbing the arm for forearm or hand surgery in people who are obese. One method places the numbing medicine near the collarbone from the front, and the other from behind the collarbone. The goal is to see which way works better.
Yenimahalle, AnkaraAges 18–80 - NCT07474909Recruiting
Comparing two ways to give dexamethasone for hand surgery in children
This trial compares giving dexamethasone near the nerves versus through an IV to see which works better for pain relief during hand or forearm surgery in children. It may help your child have a smoother recovery.
PoznanAges 3 months–16 years - NCT07773155RecruitingPhase 4
Pain control after hand or wrist surgery: nerve block with or without ketorolac
This study tests two different pain relief methods after hand or wrist surgery: a nerve block alone versus a nerve block plus an anti-inflammatory medication called ketorolac. The goal is to see which approach provides better pain control with fewer side effects.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05472909Recruiting
Music during a specific type of hand surgery
This trial studies whether playing music during a “wide-awake” hand surgery helps comfort or experience during the procedure. You may be offered music while you’re awake and having local numbing medicine.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18 years+ - NCT07533214Enrolling by invitation
Left-Handed Endoscopic Mitral Surgery Training Program
This trial tests a specialized training program designed specifically for left-handed surgeons learning minimally invasive heart valve surgery. The goal is to help left-handed surgeons develop the precise hand skills needed to perform these delicate procedures using specially adapted equipment and techniques.
PortugalAges Any age - NCT06918522Recruiting
Sophrology and art therapy for hand surgery patients
This trial offers sophrology (relaxation techniques) and art therapy to people recovering from hand or upper limb surgery at Lyon University Hospital. It aims to see if these mind-body approaches help during recovery.
LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT07108192Recruiting
Hand holding and stress ball for cataract surgery comfort
This study tests whether holding a stress ball or having your hand held during cataract surgery can help lower pain and anxiety. It is for people having their first cataract surgery and who are not on certain medications.
SakaryaAges 18 years+ - NCT05429099Recruiting
Planning study for jaw reconstruction surgery
This study helps teams plan surgery for people who need part of the lower jaw removed and rebuilt using special tissue flaps. It mainly looks at whether having specific pre-surgery CT images is possible and useful for reconstruction planning.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07348146Enrolling by invitation
Hand-sewn vs. stapled bowel connection in SADI-S surgery
This trial compares two ways of reconnecting the intestine during SADI-S weight-loss surgery: one done by hand and one using staples. The goal is to see which method leads to fewer early problems after surgery, like leaks or infections.
CairoAges 18–70 - NCT03546374Recruiting
Stop a common heart rhythm with surgery add-on therapy
This study looks at whether an added heart device approach around the time of planned open-heart surgery can help treat non-paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF), a long-lasting irregular heartbeat. It may help lower ongoing AF burden in people who also need non-emergency heart surgery.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07706504Recruiting
Comparing two muscle relaxation monitors for long surgeries
This study compares two different monitors that measure how deeply your muscles are relaxed during long surgeries (over 3 hours) like laparoscopic, robotic, or chest surgeries. The monitors help the anesthesia team keep you safe and comfortable.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07362043Recruiting
Laser tool for cataract surgery
This study tests a handheld laser device used during cataract surgery to create a precise opening in the lens capsule. It may help surgeons improve accuracy and safety during the procedure.
Saint-HerblainAges 18 years+ - NCT05008185Recruiting
Nerve interface surgery to reduce hand pain nerve tumors
This trial tests a regenerative nerve device/surgery approach to reduce painful nerve growths (neuromas) after a finger or partial hand amputation. You may qualify if you’re an adult with confirmed, localized neuroma pain and have already tried a 6-week desensitization therapy plan.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07134361Recruiting
Ultrasound study for carpal tunnel syndrome
This study uses hand ultrasound to evaluate carpal tunnel syndrome before and after surgery. It may help doctors understand how the wrist changes after treatment.

- How do I know if I qualify for a hand 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 hand 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.
