Recruiting studies
- NCT07050277RecruitingPhase 3
Morphine for bladder issues after knee replacement
This study tests whether adding morphine to spinal anesthesia can reduce trouble urinating after a second knee replacement surgery. It may help you avoid needing a catheter after surgery.
Toronto, OntarioAges 21 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 - NCT06676748RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Benzydamine gargle for sore throat after surgery
This trial tests whether a medicated mouthwash or gargle with benzydamine can help prevent a sore throat after surgery. It's for women having surgery with a type of breathing tube called a laryngeal mask airway.
SingaporeAges 21–80 - NCT04791579RecruitingPhase 2
Preventing UTIs after Botox for neurogenic bladder
This study tests whether taking an antibiotic (ciprofloxacin) around the time of bladder Botox can prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs) in people whose bladder problems are caused by nerve conditions. It may help lower the chance of infection after treatment.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18–100 - NCT04248205RecruitingPhase 4
Ketamine to reduce pain after hemorrhoid surgery
This trial tests whether ketamine can lessen pain after hemorrhoidectomy (surgery for severe hemorrhoids). It may help reduce how much pain medicine you need during recovery.
Oklahoma City, OklahomaAges 18–100 - NCT03661645Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Steroid dose taper after orthopedic surgery
This trial tests whether a planned, gradually stopping steroid medicine (methylprednisolone) after certain orthopedic surgeries helps with recovery or symptoms. It compares a post-surgery steroid taper to other routine care and focuses on safety and outcomes after surgery.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18–95 - NCT04399707Recruiting
Nerve-pain device study for pain after C-section
This study tests whether a small skin electrical nerve stimulator (called TENS) can reduce pain after a planned or not-urgent C-section. You may be more likely to have less pain and use fewer pain medicines if the TENS helps you.
Honolulu, HawaiiAges 18 years+ - NCT04305743RecruitingPhase 4
Compare pain after 5 vs 20 bladder botox injections
This study looks at how much discomfort you have after receiving bladder Botox injections, comparing a smaller (5) dose vs a larger (20) dose. It’s only for certain overactive bladder conditions and specifically when the procedure is done without sedation or special anesthesia.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06658210Recruiting
Soft tissue massage and pelvic exercises for pelvic scar tissue
This study tests whether gentle massage and pelvic floor exercises can help relieve pain and discomfort from pelvic scar tissue (adhesions) in women who have had a hysterectomy. It may be an option for you if you are married, between 40 and 60, and healthy enough for these treatments.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 40–60 - NCT07063602Recruiting
Comparing nerve block methods for pain after lung surgery
This study compares two ways of giving a paravertebral nerve block (an injection near the spine to numb the chest) to control pain after a type of lung surgery called VATS. It aims to find the best approach for reducing pain and the need for stronger pain medicines.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT07658521Enrolling by invitation
Nerve blocks for pain after heart bypass surgery
This study tests whether adding two numbing injections (nerve blocks) to standard care provides better pain relief after heart bypass surgery. It is for adults having planned surgery and compares pain scores and recovery.
Cairo, Cairo GovernorateAges 18–75 - NCT06903819RecruitingPhase 4
Ketamine for pain and mental health after orthopedic injury
This trial tests if ketamine can reduce pain, opioid use, and improve mental health in adults recovering from serious orthopedic injuries. It may help those with high injury severity scores.
Lubbock, TexasAges 18–65 - NCT07234396Recruiting
Animated video for kids having elbow pins removed
This trial tests whether watching a short animated video before getting metal pins removed from a broken elbow can help reduce pain and anxiety in children. It compares the video to the usual care, which is just talking to the child.
Karachi, SindhAges 4–12 - NCT07203534Recruiting
Virtual reality for pain and anxiety during bone marrow biopsy

Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07434635RecruitingPhase 4
Atropine for pain after vitrectomy surgery
This study tests whether atropine eye drops can reduce pain and prevent scar tissue (called posterior synechiae) after vitrectomy surgery. The goal is to see if this treatment helps you recover more comfortably.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06655337Recruiting
Testing a smartphone app for managing hospital discharge
This study tests whether a smartphone app called Medidux helps you manage your symptoms and discharge from the hospital if you came in with coughing, back pain, or belly discomfort. You'll use the app to report how you're feeling, and the care team can check in with you after you leave.
Horgen, Canton of ZurichAges 18 years+ - NCT04679844Recruiting
Test bone putty for back fusion versus bone graft alternatives
This study compares a ready-to-use bone putty to standard bone graft materials (with or without your own bone) during back fusion surgery for unstable lower back problems. It looks at whether the putty works as well or better to help the bones fuse and heal.
