Recruiting studies
- NCT06322810Recruiting
Pain relief methods for open heart surgery: ESP vs PIFB
This study compares two ways to manage pain after open-heart surgery. It looks at using an injection near the spine (ESP block) versus a needle placed through the chest wall (PIFB) to help reduce pain and the need for strong pain medicines.
Taichung, TaiwanAges 18 years+ - NCT03643926Recruiting
Arthroscopic vs open surgery for ankle instability
This trial compares two surgical approaches to treat ongoing ankle “giving way” or instability. It aims to find which method works better for people whose ankle instability has lasted at least several months.
Belo Horizonte, Minas GeraisAges 18–65 - NCT05525312Recruiting
Two breathing strategies during lung surgery for lung cancer
This trial compares two ways of managing breathing while you have surgery to remove lung cancer. It may help doctors figure out which strategy is safer and works better during the operation.
MontpellierAges 18 years+ - NCT06905015Recruiting
Comparing two methods to reduce blood loss during open liver surgery
This trial tests whether using stroke volume variation (SVV) is better than central venous pressure (CVP) to guide fluid management and reduce bleeding during open liver surgery. It aims to find a safer way to manage fluids during the operation.
Chiang Mai, ChiangmaiAges 20–70 - NCT07485738Recruiting
Blood flow during bypass surgery and graft recovery
This study looks at how blood flow readings during coronary artery bypass surgery relate to whether the new grafts stay open and how well patients recover. It aims to help improve long-term results for people needing bypass surgery.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06716073Recruiting
Endoscopic vs standard breast-conserving surgery after chemo
This study compares two types of breast-conserving surgery for women who have already had chemotherapy before their operation. It aims to see if using a tiny camera (endoscope) leads to equally good long-term results as standard breast-conserving surgery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07142408RecruitingPhase 3
Bacteria reduction before skin cancer surgery on legs
This trial tests if reducing bacteria on your skin before skin cancer surgery on the leg can lower the risk of infection, especially for wounds left open to heal naturally.
Marlton, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06147336Recruiting
Testing the V-Lap system for heart failure monitoring
This trial tests a new device called V-Lap that is placed in the heart to monitor pressure. It may help doctors better manage heart failure and reduce hospital stays. Researchers want to see if it works well in people with mild to moderate heart failure.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 22–88 - NCT06294613Recruiting
Robotic surgery for vitreoretinal diseases
This trial tests a robotic system for eye surgery to treat conditions like vitreous hemorrhage or macular pucker. It may help patients who need a procedure called vitrectomy under general anesthesia.
Ghent, East FlandersAges 18–85 - NCT04888975Recruiting
Device study for one-arm swelling after lymph surgery
This study tests a medical device (Dayspring Technology) to reduce swelling in the arm caused by breast cancer treatment and lymph surgery. You may be eligible if you have one-sided arm swelling after lymphatic surgery and meet safety checks for the device.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07751302Recruiting
Follow-up vs. chemo after surgery for early stomach cancer
This trial compares two approaches after surgery for early-stage stomach or GEJ cancer: close monitoring (follow-up) vs. adjuvant chemotherapy (chemo given after surgery). It aims to see if follow-up alone is as good as chemo for patients with this stage, potentially avoiding chemo side effects.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18 years+

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for open heart surgery?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 35 recruiting open heart surgery 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 open heart surgery 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 open heart surgery 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.
