Recruiting studies
- NCT06439953Recruiting
Irrigation solution for spinal surgery instrumentation
This trial tests a solution used to clean the surgical site during spine surgeries to see if it helps prevent infections. It is for patients having certain types of spine surgery for conditions like deformity, cancer, or trauma.
Providence, Rhode IslandAges 18 years+ - NCT07120191Recruiting
My Connect Post-Op study for joint replacement patients
This trial tests a smartphone tool to help communicate with your care team after knee or hip replacement surgery. It aims to improve your recovery experience.
Wichita, KansasAges 22–80 - NCT06816407RecruitingPhase 3
Prucalopride for bowel recovery after colorectal surgery
This trial tests if different doses of prucalopride, a medicine that helps the bowels move, can speed up gut function recovery after planned (not emergency) colorectal surgery.
CairoAges 18–75 - NCT04371445RecruitingPhase 4
Dextenza drops after eye surgery to reduce post-op pain
This trial studies whether Dextenza (a steroid pain-relief eye insert) can improve comfort after a specific type of retina surgery (pars plana vitrectomy). It looks at people getting surgery for conditions like macular hole, epiretinal membrane, or vitreomacular traction.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT04084938Recruiting
Clot-blocking treatment versus surgery for enlarged prostate
This trial compares artery embolization (blocking blood flow to the prostate) with standard surgery for urinary symptoms caused by an enlarged prostate. It may help patients who have moderate-to-severe bladder outlet symptoms and are looking for a treatment option when medicine didn’t work (or they don’t want medicine).
OsloAges Any age - NCT04915261RecruitingPhase 4
Lenient versus strict instructions after heart device surgery
This trial compares two styles of “post-surgery instructions” after implantation of a new heart device lead. It may help determine which approach is better for patients’ recovery and safety after the procedure.
Ottawa, OntarioAges Any age - NCT06063538RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Preventing irregular heartbeat after heart surgery with amiodarone
This trial tests if placing a small amount of amiodarone medicine near the heart during open-chest surgery can help prevent a common irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) that often happens after heart surgery.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 20–85 - 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+ - NCT06904872RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a diarrhea drug for short bowel syndrome without a colon
This trial tests if crofelemer can reduce diarrhea and fluid loss in people with short bowel syndrome who have a stoma (no colon connection) and need intravenous nutrition or fluids. The goal is to see if it improves gut function and quality of life.
AachenAges 18 years+ - NCT06469177Enrolling by invitation
Pain management app study for joint replacement recovery
This study tests a smartphone tool to help manage pain after hip, knee, or shoulder replacement. It aims to see if using the tool improves your recovery compared to standard care.
Dartmouth, Nova ScotiaAges 19 years+ - NCT07016022Recruiting
Heart and lung test before chest surgery helps predict risks
This study checks if a simple test of your heart and breathing before chest surgery can help predict problems after the operation. It looks at people having surgery for lung, esophagus, stomach, or chest tumors.
Ottawa, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT03346694Recruiting
Testing a new chest dressing to prevent wound infections
This trial looks at whether a different dressing placed on the chest incision during certain heart surgeries can lower the risk of surgical wound infections. If you are having a sternotomy (a cut through the breastbone), this could help keep your incision cleaner while you heal.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07489963Recruiting
Does keeping the posterior cruciate ligament help after knee replacement?
This trial compares two ways of doing robotic-assisted knee replacement: one that keeps the posterior cruciate ligament (a natural knee stabilizer) and one that doesn't. Researchers will see if saving the ligament leads to better knee function a year after surgery.
BordeauxAges 18 years+ - NCT06570577Recruiting
Nerve block for pain after cervical spine surgery
This trial tests whether a nerve block can reduce the need for opioid pain medication after back-of-neck spine surgery. It may help patients have better pain control with fewer side effects.
Stony Brook, New YorkAges 18–75 - NCT07130799Recruiting
Monitoring immune response in severe abdominal infections with fungal risk
This trial monitors a marker of immune function (monocyte HLA-DR) in patients with severe abdominal infections that may lead to fungal infections. It aims to see if this marker can help guide treatment.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for post-op complication?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 15 recruiting post-op complication 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-op complication 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-op complication 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.
