Recruiting studies
- NCT05659082Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
Brain capsulotomy surgery for severe OCD
This trial is testing whether a specific brain surgery step called a capsulotomy can help people with severe, hard-to-treat obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). You would be considered only if your case is approved by the hospital’s psychiatric neurosurgery committee.
Providence, Rhode IslandAges 18–90 - NCT05159960Enrolling by invitation
Repeat laser eye treatment study for eligible prior participants
This study is for people who already joined an earlier selective laser eye treatment trial and were able to be followed without needing stronger additional treatments. It looks at the best plan for repeating the laser treatment when appropriate.
Skövde, Västra Götaland CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT05124912Recruiting
Laser treatment for recurrent brain metastases after prior SRS
This study tests whether repeating treatment with a laser (along with a small biopsy) can control brain metastases that have come back after earlier radiation called SRS. It may help people whose cancer is stable enough for surgery and who have a specific, reachable brain spot to target.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04741230Recruiting
Test implant for severe corneal thinning to avoid transplant
This study tests a procedure called Xenia corneal lenticule in people with severe keratoconus or severe post-LASIK corneal thinning who want to avoid a corneal transplant. It aims to improve vision while checking safety and how well the new procedure works over time.
Wolverhampton, West MidlandsAges 18–79 - NCT04381611Enrolling by invitation
Study of glaucoma surgeries and laser treatments over time
This study looks at people with glaucoma or high eye pressure to understand how surgeries and laser treatments affect long-term outcomes. It may help doctors predict which treatments work best for different patients.
Lausanne, Canton of VaudAges 1–100 - NCT04232982Recruiting
Cyclophotocoagulation during Boston keratoprosthesis eye surgery
This trial looks at whether a specific eye laser treatment done through the white of the eye (called transscleral cyclophotocoagulation) works well and is safe for people getting a Boston keratoprosthesis. It may help improve comfort and vision outcomes for selected patients needing this type of cornea/eye replacement surgery.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18–80 - NCT03802851Recruiting
Laser procedure before radiation for prostate cancer symptoms
This trial looks at whether doing a prostate “laser procedure” (called HoLEP) before starting radiation and hormone therapy can improve severe urinary symptoms and reduce urine retention problems. It is for people with prostate cancer who are planning radiation plus hormone treatment and who have significant bladder/urinary trouble.
Kansas City, KansasAges 18 years+ - NCT03650595Recruiting
MRI-guided laser treatment for prostate cancer
This trial tests a minimally invasive prostate treatment using MRI guidance and a focal laser to destroy only the cancer spot (not the whole prostate). If you have low-to-intermediate risk, MRI-visible prostate cancer in a limited area, it may help control the cancer while potentially reducing treatment side effects.
Toronto, OntarioAges 40–80 - NCT03492151Recruiting
Scans pancreatic cysts during a biopsy procedure
This trial tests a special camera (confocal laser endomicroscopy) used during an ultrasound-guided needle biopsy to help tell what type of pancreatic cyst is present. It may help doctors decide faster whether surgery is needed.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT02759744Enrolling by invitation
Laser treatment for certain prostate tumors guided by MRI images
This trial tests whether a precisely targeted laser procedure—guided by MRI images—can treat prostate cancer. It may help some men who have a certain type and location of tumor while aiming to avoid nearby sensitive structures.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT00897117Recruiting
Providing tumor tissue samples during lung cancer surgery
This study collects and analyzes tumor tissue from people with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer who are planning surgery. It may help researchers learn more about the cancer by studying samples taken at the time of your operation.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18–120

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for laser?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 347 recruiting laser 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 laser 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 laser 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.
