Testing pregabalin before surgery versus fentanyl during surgery
This trial compares two medicines used around the time of surgery—pregabalin given by mouth before surgery versus fentanyl given during surgery—to see which better controls pain after the operation. You might join if you’re a generally healthy surgical patient and aren’t using certain related medicines.
CairoAges 21–45 - NCT06747195Recruiting
Methylene blue for better recovery after hemorrhoid surgery
This trial tests if adding methylene blue to standard pain medicine helps you recover faster and with less pain after hemorrhoid surgery. It is for people having spinal anesthesia.
Heze, ShandongAges 18–65 - NCT07351253Recruiting
Nerve block comparison for open appendix surgery
This study tests two types of nerve blocks (Erector Spinae Plane Block and Lateral Transversus Abdominis Plane Block) to see which provides better pain relief after open appendectomy. This could help reduce pain and the need for stronger painkillers after surgery.
Cairo, Cairo GovernorateAges 21 years+ - NCT07311902Recruiting
Comparing two blocks for pain after hernia repair
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (M-Tapa block and TAP block) to see which one works better for controlling pain after open inguinal hernia repair. It may help find a better way to manage pain after surgery.

Comparing two nerve blocks for shoulder surgery
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (interscalene and serratus posterior superior intercostal plane block) for pain relief during shoulder surgery. If you are having arthroscopic shoulder surgery under general anesthesia, you may be able to join.
Istanbul, BagcilarAges 18–75 - NCT07209345Recruiting
Scalp pain relief after brain surgery

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for postoperative analgesia?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 173 recruiting postoperative analgesia 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 postoperative analgesia 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 postoperative analgesia 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.
