Recruiting studies
- NCT03774420Recruiting
Study of memory and thinking changes after breast surgery
This trial looks at whether certain anesthesia medications and airway devices are linked to short-term memory or thinking problems after breast surgery. If you’re having breast surgery under general anesthesia, your care team may compare outcomes to learn how to reduce “post-op cognitive dysfunction.”
Treviso, TVAges 18 years+ - NCT06036095RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing two types of anesthesia in older adults having surgery
This study compares two types of general anesthesia for older adults (70+) having planned non-heart, non-brain surgery that lasts at least 2 hours. The goal is to see which type might be better for preserving thinking and memory after surgery.
Portland, OregonAges 70–110 - NCT06658769Recruiting
Brain stimulation to prevent confusion after surgery in older adults
This study tests if transcranial magnetic stimulation (a gentle brain stimulation) can help prevent or reduce confusion or memory problems after major surgery in people over 60. If you already have mild memory issues, this might help protect your thinking skills.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 60–120 - NCT07396532Recruiting
iPad messages to prevent delirium after hip fracture surgery
This trial tests if audio-recorded messages played on an iPad can help prevent confusion (delirium) after hip fracture surgery in older adults. It is for people aged 60 and older who do not have a history of memory or thinking problems.
SingaporeAges 60 years+ - NCT06761573Recruiting
Study on brain activity and confusion after head and neck surgery
This trial measures brain signals to see if they can predict confusion (delirium) after surgery. It may help identify patients at higher risk so they can get extra care.
BolognaAges 18–90 - NCT06460402Enrolling by invitation
Ice packs and warm baths after hemorrhoid surgery
This trial tests whether using ice packs and warm baths after hemorrhoid surgery helps wounds heal faster and reduces pain more than standard care. If you are having surgery to remove hemorrhoids, this study may offer a simple, gentle way to help you recover.
Kaohsiung CityAges 18–80 - NCT06466941Recruiting
Understanding acute pain after surgery
This study surveys surgical patients about their pain and emotional experience to better understand acute pain. You may help by answering questions or sharing your story.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06952556RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing two types of knee blocks for pain after knee surgery
This trial tests if adding an extra nerve block behind the knee (IPACK) to the standard block inside the thigh (adductor canal) provides better pain relief after specific knee surgeries. It aims to help patients recover with less opioid use.
New York, New YorkAges 18–75 - NCT07242170Recruiting
Comparing nerve blocks for pain after knee replacement surgery
This trial tests if adding extra nerve blocks (sciatic, BiFeS, or IPACK) to the usual adductor canal block can reduce pain after total knee replacement. The goal is to find a better way to manage pain and improve recovery.
Erzincan, MerkezAges 18–75 - NCT02832193Recruiting
Uses past anesthesia test data to study memory after surgery
This study looks back at information already collected around elective surgery to understand how anesthesia and surgery may affect thinking and memory (sometimes called POCD). It mainly uses records and questionnaires rather than adding a new treatment.
BerlinAges 18–100 - NCT07514637RecruitingPhase 2
Pain relief medication after pancreas surgery
This study tests a new drug called Anricfen (ariceptin) to help reduce pain and speed recovery after pancreas removal surgery. Participants receive injections for three days after surgery to see if the medication safely controls pain better than standard care.
NanjingAges 18–80 - NCT05507138RecruitingPhase 2
Digital therapy for depression and thinking problems after stroke
This Phase 2 trial tests a smartphone/tablet-based program to improve post-stroke depression and executive thinking skills (like planning and attention). It may help if you have ongoing depressive symptoms and thinking/executive difficulties at least 6 months after your first stroke.
New York, New YorkAges 50–79 - NCT07520916Recruiting
Mobile app education for men after prostate removal surgery
This study tests whether a smartphone app that teaches you about recovery before and after prostate cancer surgery helps prevent urinary leakage and erectile problems. You'd use the app to learn exercises and tips tailored to your recovery.
Giresun, GiresunAges 18 years+ - NCT05332561RecruitingPhase 2
Personalized treatment after surgery for early breast cancer
This Phase 2 study checks whether adding a personalized (biomarker-matched) medicine after standard chemotherapy and surgery lowers the risk of breast cancer coming back. Your study drug choice depends on tumor test results (from your tumor’s genetics and immune markers).

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for post operative cognitive dysfunction?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 14 recruiting post operative cognitive dysfunction 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 operative cognitive dysfunction 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 operative cognitive dysfunction 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.
