Recruiting studies
- NCT07012668Recruiting
Treatments for heart-brain conditions and post-surgery stroke
This trial is studying different treatments for people who have conditions that affect both the heart and brain, or who have had a stroke or other brain blood vessel problem after heart surgery. The goal is to find out which treatments work best and see what factors affect the results.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT06673953Recruiting
Breathing training for heart surgery recovery with neck posture problems
This trial tests whether a breathing exercise device can improve heart and lung function in men who had heart bypass surgery at least 3 months ago and also have neck pain from poor posture. It may help you breathe better and feel stronger after surgery.
Giza, Giza GovernorateAges 45–55 - NCT07484477Recruiting
Sitting less to improve heart and lung function after heart surgery
This study tests whether helping people sit less and move more after heart surgery can improve their breathing, heart function, and quality of life. If you're between 50 and 80 and have had heart surgery, this may help you recover better.
Peshawar, KPKAges 50–80 - NCT04330651Recruiting
Extra-support machine for heart patients after surgery
This study looks at using an external life-support machine after heart surgery. It may help patients who need temporary extra support while the heart and body recover.
FlorenceAges 18–80 - NCT06460740Recruiting
Breathing and cycling after heart bypass surgery
This study tests whether combining a slow breathing technique (4-7-8 method) with stationary cycling can improve your blood pressure, quality of life, and shortness of breath after heart bypass surgery. It is for people who are recovering well and ready for a supervised exercise program.
Karachi, SindhAges 40–70 - NCT06613178RecruitingPhase 4
IV acetaminophen for heart surgery recovery
This trial tests if giving acetaminophen (Tylenol) through a vein after heart surgery can help patients recover better. You may be a good fit if you are having planned heart surgery that is not an emergency.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06706258RecruitingPhase 2
Preventing kidney injury after heart surgery with a stomach acid drug
This trial tests whether giving a common stomach acid medication (a proton pump inhibitor) before, during, and after heart surgery can help prevent acute kidney injury. If you are at moderate to high risk for kidney problems after surgery, this study may be a good fit.
Houston, TexasAges 18–90 - NCT07287345RecruitingPhase 4
Colchicine’s effect on inflammation after heart bypass surgery
This trial tests whether the drug colchicine can reduce inflammation after planned coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. It may help patients recover better by lowering inflammatory markers.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 18–99 - NCT07556185Recruiting
Testing a home heart health monitoring app for kids
This study tests whether young people with heart conditions can use a home monitoring app called Medly to track their symptoms and weight. The app may help doctors catch problems earlier and keep kids healthier at home.
Toronto, OntarioAges 8–18 - NCT06077422Enrolling by invitationPhase 2/Phase 3
Comparing two pain blocks for heart surgery recovery
This trial compares two types of pain blocks (Exparel vs. Marcaine) given during heart surgery to see which one provides better pain relief. If you are scheduled for a heart surgery through a small or full chest incision, you may be able to join.
New Brunswick, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05687292Recruiting
Decision tool to shorten breathing machine time in children
This study tests whether a computer “decision support” tool can help doctors safely reduce how long a child stays on a breathing machine after heart surgery. It may help children get off mechanical ventilation sooner and recover faster.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 1 day–12 years

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for post-cardiac surgery?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 11 recruiting post-cardiac 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 post-cardiac 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 post-cardiac 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.
