Port SaidAges 20–60 - NCT06358222Recruiting
Lung cancer trial testing blood test and PET scan for spread
This trial studies if a blood test that looks for tumor DNA combined with a PET-CT scan can better predict if lung cancer has spread to lymph nodes. It may help guide treatment decisions for people with non-small cell lung cancer that hasn't been treated yet.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT06254859Recruiting
Nerve monitoring during thyroid surgery and voice outcomes
This study tests whether using nerve monitoring during thyroid surgery helps protect the nerves that control your voice. It includes adults having one side of their thyroid removed and tracks voice changes before and after surgery.
Fuzhou, FujianAges Any age - NCT07061548Recruiting
Predicting heart output changes during surgery using capnography
This trial uses a computer algorithm to predict changes in how well your heart pumps blood during surgery. It looks at carbon dioxide levels in your breath to make these predictions. This could help doctors adjust care in real time.
SeoulAges 19–75 - NCT07060443RecruitingPhase 2
Fluorescent dye study for right-sided colon cancer surgery
This trial tests whether using a fluorescent dye during surgery can help doctors better see and remove lymph nodes in people with right-sided colon cancer. It aims to make surgery more precise and potentially improve outcomes.
DaeguAges 19–85 - NCT07064434Recruiting
Nerve block for safer blood pressure control during hip replacement
This trial tests a type of nerve block (sacral canal block) to help manage blood pressure during hip replacement surgery. It aims to see if it can safely lower blood pressure on purpose, which may reduce bleeding and improve recovery.
Yinchuan, NingxiaAges 45 years+ - NCT07057362Recruiting
Vitamin D and blood pressure during C-section under spinal anesthesia
This trial checks if low vitamin D levels can make a drop in blood pressure more likely or severe during a C-section with spinal anesthesia. It may help find ways to better monitor or prevent blood pressure problems during surgery.
Düzce, MerkezAges 18–40 - NCT07045545Enrolling by invitation
Comparing two layers in hypospadias repair for young boys
This trial tests two ways to add an extra layer during hypospadias repair surgery in young boys. One method uses a material made from your child's own blood (platelet-rich fibrin), and the other uses a small flap of tissue from the penis. The goal is to see which method helps the healing better.
Tashkent, CityAges Any age - NCT07035314Recruiting
Comparing medicines for pain after tonsil removal in children
This study compares two ways to manage pain after tonsil removal in children: a medication given by mouth or injection versus a medication applied directly to the surgical site. The goal is to find which approach works better for pain control.
CairoAges 4–10 - NCT07041021Recruiting
Fluid guidance during abdominal surgery using neck vein
This trial tests a new way to manage fluids during abdominal surgery by using ultrasound to check the internal jugular vein in your neck. The goal is to see if this approach reduces complications after surgery.
Ismailia, Ismailia GovernorateAges 20–70 - NCT07039526RecruitingPhase 2
Cytalux for finding cancer during surgery
This trial tests a dye called Cytalux that helps surgeons see cancer during surgery. You get the dye before surgery, and it makes cancer cells glow under a special light. This could help doctors remove more cancer.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06284174Recruiting
Comparing two antiseptics for spinal surgery wound soaking
This trial compares two common antiseptics (povidone-iodine and chlorhexidine gluconate) to see which better reduces germs in spinal surgery wounds during the operation. If you are having lumbar spine surgery, this study may help determine the best way to prevent infections.
Tainan, TaiwanAges 18 years+ - NCT07030179Recruiting
Frailty, kidney injury, and blood pressure in non-cardiac surgery
This study looks at whether a patient's level of frailty (overall weakness and health before surgery) affects their risk of acute kidney injury after non-cardiac surgery, and whether blood pressure changes during surgery play a role in that link.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT07032506Recruiting
Stent placement after uterine septum surgery
This trial tests whether placing a small stent in the uterus after surgery to remove a uterine septum (a wall of tissue dividing the uterus) can help improve healing and future pregnancy chances. It is for people who have a septum that covers at least half of the uterine cavity.
