Antibiotics versus none for pediatric colorectal surgery

AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT04855838Recruiting
Study of swallowing problems after neck spine surgery
This study looks at how swallowing recovers after surgery on the front of the neck spine after a trauma. Some people may also be followed more closely if a swallowing test shows a problem a few weeks after surgery.
UmeåAges 18 years+ - NCT05148494RecruitingPhase 4
Enema versus drink for bowel prep before rectal surgery
This trial compares two bowel-clearing methods—an enema given through the rectum versus an oral (by mouth) mechanical bowel prep—during a specific type of rectal surgery. It aims to find which method works better and is easier or safer for patients.
Halifax, Nova ScotiaAges 18–75 - NCT06782035Recruiting
Effect of dressings on donor site comfort after gum graft surgery
This trial tests whether special dressings applied to the area where a gum graft is taken from can improve patient comfort and quality of life after surgery.

Dharān, KoshiAges 18 years+ - NCT04914234RecruitingPhase 4
Atenolol vs metoprolol for low blood pressure during nasal surgery
This trial compares two commonly used blood-pressure medicines—atenolol and metoprolol—to see which one works best for keeping blood pressure safely low during nasal surgeries. It may help patients have more stable anesthesia while reducing side effects from blood pressure changes.
Damanhūr, El-BeheiraAges 21–50 - NCT06532708Recruiting
Pain Medicine Use After Laparoscopic Hysterectomy
