Nerve block comparison for lung function after gallbladder surgery
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks to see which one better preserves lung function after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. It may help patients recover breathing ability more quickly after surgery.
Kayseri, KocasinanAges 18–70 - NCT04167969RecruitingTeam says not enrollingPhase 1
Nanoparticles to help guide prostate cancer surgery
This Phase 1 study tests nanoparticles (tiny particles) that are meant to help surgeons better find and remove prostate cancer tissue during surgery. You may be offered standard prostate surgery plus imaging with a study tracer to guide the operation.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07745972Recruiting

This trial tests a numbing injection near the ribs to reduce pain after laparoscopic gallbladder removal. It may help you recover with less discomfort.
IstanbulAges 18–80 - NCT06526858Recruiting
Laparoscopic kidney nerve treatment for resistant hypertension
This study tests a new treatment called HyperQure RDN, a laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery that targets nerves near the kidneys to lower blood pressure in people with resistant hypertension. If you have tried multiple medications but your blood pressure is still high, this procedure might offer an alternative approach.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 22–80 - 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 - NCT04576533Recruiting
Checking recovery for people after minimally invasive colon surgery
This study looks at what happens right after minimally invasive colon/rectal surgery when people leave the operating room. It may help improve recovery plans and safety for patients like you.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–65 - NCT06342570Recruiting
EEG changes during pain for laparoscopic surgery patients
This study measures brain wave changes in response to pain during laparoscopic surgery. It aims to improve how pain is monitored under anesthesia.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT05936671Recruiting
EEG and heart-signal guided anesthesia for recovery
This study tests whether using special brain-wave monitoring and heart-signal information during anesthesia can improve your comfort and recovery after certain laparoscopic gynecologic surgeries. If you qualify, your anesthesia plan may be guided by these monitors to help standardize care and track recovery.
Seoul, SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT02781870Recruiting
3D laparoscopic groin hernia repair with special mesh fix
This study looks at a laparoscopic (keyhole) operation to repair a groin (inguinal) hernia using a 3D “visible” mesh, with or without an added fixation method. If you have a first-time hernia on one side and are planning a laparoscopic repair, this trial may be an option to discuss with your surgical team.
GhentAges 18–80 - NCT06738875Recruiting
Cuff pressure changes in weight loss surgery

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for laparoscopic?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 433 recruiting laparoscopic 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 laparoscopic 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 laparoscopic 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.
