Jaw clenching after sugammadex for muscle relaxation reversal
This trial tests whether a drug called sugammadex, which reverses muscle relaxation from anesthesia, might cause jaw clenching in some people. The study will watch for this effect during routine surgery to better understand the risk.
Iksan, Jeonbuk-doAges 19–70 - NCT06955208Recruiting
Using MRI to Measure Meningioma Stiffness Before Surgery
This study uses a special MRI technique called 3D MRE (magnetic resonance elastography) to measure how stiff a meningioma tumor is. The goal is to see if the stiffness can help predict the tumor’s type and characteristics before surgery.
Shenyang, LiaoningAges 18–80 - NCT06002984Recruiting
Nerve monitoring during thyroid surgery to protect your voice
This study tests a device that monitors a nerve near your voice box during thyroid surgery. The goal is to help protect your voice by giving the surgeon live feedback on the nerve's location and function.

RomaAges 18–99 - NCT06621823Recruiting
Robotic ultrasound to check lymph nodes during gynecologic cancer surgery
This trial tests a new robotic ultrasound tool to see if it can better find cancer in lymph nodes during surgery. It may help doctors decide exactly which nodes to remove, avoiding unnecessary surgery.
RomaAges 18–99 - NCT06933498Recruiting
Nerve block for less pain meds in back surgery
This trial tests whether a nerve block (called an erector spinae plane block) given before surgery can reduce the amount of pain medicine and anesthesia needed during lumbar disc surgery. It may help people have less pain and fewer side effects.
AnkaraAges 18–75 - NCT06910228Enrolling by invitation
Brain oxygen changes during spine surgery position shifts
This study measures how your child's brain oxygen levels change when they are repositioned during spine surgery. It may help make surgeries safer for teens and young adults.
Columbus, OhioAges 10–21 - NCT06892795Enrolling by invitation
Predicting low body temperature during surgery in children
This study aims to predict which children might get too cold during surgery under general anesthesia lasting more than 30 minutes. It's trying to create a simple checklist to help doctors keep kids warm and safe.
Harbin, HeilongjiangAges Up to 15 years - NCT06885268RecruitingPhase 3
Blood pressure management during non-cardiac surgery
This trial tests whether noradrenaline is better than standard care for preventing dangerously low blood pressure during surgery. If you are having non-cardiac surgery that lasts at least an hour and are expected to stay overnight, this study may be for you.
KatowiceAges 45 years+ - NCT06869096Recruiting
Flushing liquid during colorectal cancer surgery
This trial compares two different liquids used to flush the surgical area during colorectal cancer surgery to see which one better prevents infections. If you are having surgery for colorectal cancer, you may be able to join.
Nanchong, SichuanAges 18–85 - NCT06871150Recruiting
Fluid management during major abdominal cancer surgery
This trial compares three different approaches to guiding fluid management during major abdominal cancer surgery. The goal is to find the best way to maintain stable blood pressure and organ function during the procedure.
Bergamo, ItalyAges 65 years+ - NCT06865638Recruiting
Testing for colorectal anastomotic leaks after surgery
This trial is testing a new method to check for leaks after colorectal cancer surgery. The goal is to see if it helps prevent complications and improves recovery.
Nanchong, SichuanAges 18–85 - NCT06865378Enrolling by invitation
Breathing gas and nausea after hysterectomy study
This study looks at whether levels of carbon dioxide in your breath and blood flow measurements during surgery can help predict nausea, vomiting, or pain after a hysterectomy. It may help doctors better manage your recovery.
IstanbulAges 20–65 - NCT06771700Recruiting
S-ICD implantation study for heart patients
This study looks at implanting a type of ICD (implantable cardioverter-defibrillator) called a subcutaneous ICD, or S-ICD, which goes under the skin instead of in the heart. It is designed to help see how well this works in standard care.
Cologne, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges Any age - NCT06822036Recruiting
Starch powder to reduce bleeding in prostate surgery
This trial tests whether applying a dissolvable starch powder (Arister) inside the pelvis during robot-assisted prostate cancer surgery reduces post-surgery bleeding. It is for men whose surgeons plan to spare the nerves controlling erections and who have moderate erectile function beforehand.
Hamburg, Free and Hanseatic City of HamburgAges 45–68 - NCT06818942Recruiting
Predicting difficult keyhole appendix surgery
This trial looks at how to predict if a laparoscopic appendectomy (keyhole surgery to remove the appendix) will be more difficult. It uses information from before surgery to help doctors and patients prepare.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT06785987Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Lidocaine Drip During Thyroid Surgery with Nerve Monitoring
This study tests whether giving a continuous lidocaine drip during open thyroid surgery can improve pain control and recovery. Lidocaine is a numbing medicine, and researchers want to see if it helps without interfering with the nerve monitor used during surgery.
Kaohsiung, TaiwanAges 20–75 - NCT06765941Recruiting
PTeye vs surgeon's eyes for parathyroid protection in thyroid surgery
This trial tests whether a device called PTeye helps surgeons better identify and protect the parathyroid glands during first-time total thyroid removal surgery, compared to relying on the surgeon's eyes alone.
Krakow, MałopolskaAges 18 years+ - NCT04209218Recruiting
Blood pressure and dexamethasone during lung cancer surgery
This study looks at how best to manage blood pressure during lung cancer surgery and whether giving dexamethasone (a steroid medicine) helps patients during the operation and recovery. You might benefit if you’re having longer lung cancer surgery and your heart and other organs are stable enough for the study.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 50–90 - NCT06701422Recruiting
Neck Spinal Cord Stimulation for Recovery After Surgery
This study tests if electrical stimulation of the spinal cord in the neck can help you recover function after cervical spine surgery. It is for people who need neck surgery and do not already have a stimulator device in their neck or chest.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for intraoperative?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 284 recruiting intraoperative 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 intraoperative 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 intraoperative 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.
