Recruiting studies
- NCT06444347Recruiting
Mesh use in hernia repair for reflux
This trial compares two types of mesh used during surgery to fix a hiatal hernia in people with acid reflux. It aims to see which mesh works better for preventing the hernia from coming back.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06193551Recruiting
Ovitex use in large hiatal hernia repair
This trial tests a product called Ovitex used during surgery to fix a large hiatal hernia (a condition where the stomach pushes up into the chest). If you are scheduled for this surgery, Ovitex may help improve the repair.
Lone Tree, ColoradoAges 18–85 - NCT03025932Enrolling by invitation
Study recurrence after laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair with mesh
This study looks at how often a large hiatal hernia comes back after a specific surgery: laparoscopic repair using mesh plus an anterior fundoplication. It may help surgeons better choose the technique that lowers the chance of recurrence.
Ages 18 years+ - NCT05201508Recruiting
Sutures versus special mesh for hiatal hernia repair
This study compares two ways of closing tissue during laparoscopic surgery for a severe hiatal hernia. It may help doctors learn which method gives better outcomes and fewer problems after surgery.
OuluAges 18 years+ - NCT05867225Recruiting
Synthetic mesh versus surgery alone for large hiatal hernia repair
This trial compares using a synthetic, dissolvable mesh versus doing hiatal hernia surgery without mesh during laparoscopic repair. It aims to see which approach better controls symptoms and improves outcomes for people with large, symptomatic hiatal hernias.
BayonneAges 18 years+ - NCT06725433Recruiting
Nissen vs Dor repair for hiatal hernia
This trial compares two types of hiatal hernia repair: Nissen and Dor fundoplication. It aims to see which one works better for patients having keyhole surgery for a large hiatal hernia.
KuopioAges 18 years+ - NCT07718828Recruiting
Comparing two types of hernia surgery for hiatal hernia
This study compares two laparoscopic surgery methods (Nissen vs Toupet) for fixing a hiatal hernia. Both aim to stop stomach acid from flowing back into the esophagus and help relieve heartburn or reflux symptoms.
Sofia, Sofia-GradAges 18–90 - NCT04718168Recruiting
Test of Gore ENFORM patch to reinforce certain hernia repairs
This study looks at whether the Gore ENFORM biomaterial patch helps reinforce the stitch line in specific ventral or hiatal hernia repairs. It will compare outcomes after surgery and follow patients for healing and safety.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07070115Recruiting
OviTex mesh for hiatal hernia repair
This trial tests a special mesh (OviTex) used during hiatal hernia repair to see how well it helps the hernia stay closed. It may be a good option if you are having a robotic or laparoscopic hernia repair and do not smoke or have a very high BMI.
Mobile, AlabamaAges 22 years+ - NCT07252115Recruiting
Comparing two surgeries for hiatal hernia and stubborn GERD
This trial compares two surgical approaches (a 'partial wrap' and a 'full wrap' of the stomach around the esophagus) to fix a hiatal hernia and treat severe, hard-to-control reflux (GERD). It may be a good option if your reflux hasn't improved with medication and you have a hiatal hernia.
BeijingAges 18–85 - NCT06551077Recruiting
New Surgical Fix for Large Hiatal Hernia
This trial tests a new surgical technique (called PoRSHA) for fixing a large hiatal hernia (where the stomach pushes into the chest). The goal is to see if adding a small piece of the patient's own tissue to the repair helps prevent the hernia from coming back.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07426835Recruiting
Comparing two hernia prevention methods in robotic esophageal cancer surgery
This trial compares two ways of closing the diaphragm during robotic esophageal cancer surgery to see if one reduces the chance of a hernia later. If you're having a robotic esophagectomy for cure, you may be able to join.
Dublin, BeaumontAges 18 years+ - NCT05330910Recruiting
Repair of a stomach valve during sleeve weight-loss surgery
This trial tests whether doing a specific repair near the stomach valve (the gastroesophageal junction) during laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy can help people with a loose valve. It is aimed at adults who have a particular endoscopy finding (Hill grade III) and choose this weight-loss surgery.
SingaporeAges 21–65 - 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 - NCT00260585Recruiting
Esophageal risk and tissue registry study
This study collects information and, if you already need blood tests or procedures, may take extra small tissue samples (biopsies) to better understand esophageal-related conditions. It may help researchers learn about risk and future management for people with certain esophagus or reflux-related diagnoses.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07395219Enrolling by invitation
Registry for patients having TIF2.0 or cTIF procedure
This registry gathers information on patients who undergo TIF2.0 or cTIF procedures to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). By joining, you help doctors learn more about these procedures and their outcomes.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for hiatal hernia?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 16 recruiting hiatal hernia 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 hiatal hernia 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 hiatal hernia 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.
