This study tests a device that helps you safely use opioid (strong pain) medicine after major cancer surgery. It may help improve post-surgery pain control while tracking how people use the medicine.
New York, New YorkAges 18–99 - NCT06418958Recruiting
Heat from dental light on healthy teeth
This trial measures how much the temperature rises inside a healthy tooth when a dental curing light is used. It helps dentists understand if certain light wavelengths could be safer for teeth.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 21–35 - NCT06425016Recruiting
Robot-assisted vs. traditional sleeve gastrectomy
This study compares two types of weight-loss surgery: one done with the help of a robot and the other done by hand (laparoscopic). Both are types of sleeve gastrectomy, where the stomach is reduced in size. If you qualify for sleeve gastrectomy, this trial may help doctors learn which method works better.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–70 - NCT06426251Recruiting
Light therapy for knee replacement recovery
This trial tests whether a special light therapy (photobiomodulation) can help reduce pain and speed healing after total knee replacement. If you're having knee replacement and don't have complications like infection or open wounds, you may be eligible.
HsinchuAges 20 years+ - NCT06434233RecruitingPhase 4
Opioid use after fallopian tube removal surgery
This study looks at how much opioid pain medicine people need after having their fallopian tubes removed through small incisions (laparoscopic or robotic salpingectomy). It aims to see if the usual pain medicine can be reduced to decrease opioid use.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT06446830Recruiting
Vitamin B complex for pain relief after cesarean in ICU
This trial tests whether adding vitamin B complex to standard pain medicine can improve pain control after a cesarean section in critically ill women. It aims to find a safer, effective way to manage pain without relying too much on strong opioids.
Cairo, EgyptAges Any age - NCT06420336Recruiting
Pain relief after cleft palate surgery
This study compares two ways to manage pain after cleft palate repair surgery that uses a bone graft from the hip. The goal is to see which method provides better pain control for children and teens.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 6–18 - NCT06519955RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Can a nerve block reduce pain after hip surgery?
This trial tests whether a special nerve block called PLIA can lower pain right after hip-preserving surgery (PAO) for hip dysplasia. If you are a teen or young adult having this surgery, this study could help manage your pain better.
Iowa City, IowaAges 13–50 - NCT06568770RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Comparing two nerve blocks for femur fracture surgery pain
This trial tests if one type of nerve block (PENG block) works better than another (S-FICB) for controlling pain during and after femur fracture surgery. Both blocks are guided by ultrasound to help with your recovery.
Sahiwal, Punjab ProvinceAges 20–70 - NCT06590714Recruiting
Polmacoxib for pain after rotator cuff surgery
This trial tests if Polmacoxib, an anti-inflammatory drug, can reduce the need for stronger painkillers after rotator cuff surgery. It may help manage pain with fewer side effects.
Uijeongbu-si, Gyeonggi-doAges 18 years+ - NCT06639438Recruiting
Sensory outcomes in people who use opioids
This study looks at how opioids affect the senses in people having planned surgery. Researchers want to compare patients who use opioids (for pain or addiction) with those who don't, to see if there are differences in sensation.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06653803Recruiting
Nerve blocks for pain after chest wall surgery
