This trial tests a computer-guided (“closed-loop”) oxygen control system for very preterm babies who need breathing support. It aims to keep oxygen levels safer and more consistent than standard care.
LondonAges Any age - NCT05927519Recruiting
Compare a laryngoscope tool in obese vs nonobese men
This study compares how well a specific breathing tube placement tool (Airtraq) works in men who are obese versus men who are not, during planned surgeries. It may help improve the safety and ease of putting in a breathing tube.

BeiraAges 18 years+ - NCT07622563Recruiting
Automatic oxygen control for premature babies on breathing support
This trial tests a device that automatically adjusts oxygen levels for premature babies who need help breathing through tubes or masks in their nose. The goal is to keep oxygen levels in a safer, more stable range without needing staff to manually adjust it constantly.
LondonAges 5 months–8 months - NCT07603622Recruiting
Physical activity before surgery and recovery
This study looks at how your physical activity before surgery affects your recovery and long-term health. Researchers will track activity levels to see if they predict complications or survival after your operation. This could help tailor care to each patient.
StockholmAges 18 years+ - NCT07584577Recruiting
Nutrition Support During Cancer Treatment Before Surgery
This study tests whether a special feeding tube placed in the small intestine helps patients recover better after surgery for esophageal or stomach cancer. The tube delivers nutrition directly during chemotherapy or radiation before surgery.
PessacAges 18 years+ - NCT07565051Recruiting
Predicting weight loss after gastric bypass surgery
This study looks at whether measuring muscle mass before gastric bypass surgery can predict how much weight you'll lose afterward. Understanding this connection may help doctors better prepare patients for surgery and set realistic goals.
Geneva, Canton of GenevaAges Any age - NCT07561411Recruiting
Nerve blocks to reduce pain after breast removal surgery
This trial tests two types of nerve-blocking injections given during breast removal surgery to see which one better prevents long-term pain afterward. Both are given alongside general anesthesia and may help you recover with less chronic pain.
BeirutAges 18–80 - NCT07563296RecruitingPhase 2

IstanbulAges 18–80 - NCT07508306Recruiting
Blue dye sentinel node mapping for early ovarian cancer
This study is testing a blue dye called Patent Blue to see if it can help surgeons find sentinel lymph nodes (the first nodes cancer might spread to) during surgery for early-stage ovarian cancer. The goal is to reduce the need for more extensive lymph node removal, possibly leading to fewer side effects.
La RabtaAges 18 years+ - NCT06491693Recruiting
Can eye nerve test predict brain complications after carotid surgery?

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for morbidity?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 208 recruiting morbidity 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 morbidity 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 morbidity 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.
