Danville, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06732193Recruiting
Fissios App for recovery after lung cancer surgery
This trial tests whether using a smartphone app (Fissios) after lung cancer surgery helps you recover with fewer complications. If you are scheduled for lung surgery for non-small cell lung cancer and have a smartphone, you may be eligible.
Madrid, MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT06450834Enrolling by invitation
Ostene in planned open back spine surgery
This trial tests an experimental bone healing material, Ostene, during spine surgery. It may help reduce scar tissue and improve fusion. You are likely eligible if you are having planned open back surgery for nerve decompression and fusion.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–88 - NCT03116490Recruiting
Compares anesthesia types for recovery after hip fracture surgery
This study looks at whether using regional anesthesia or general anesthesia affects outcomes after hip fracture surgery in older adults. It may help doctors choose the safest anesthesia option for recovery and prognosis.

Predicting low blood pressure during head and neck flap surgery
This study looks at a way to predict low blood pressure during head and neck free flap surgery (when tissue is moved from one place to another). If successful, it may help the surgical team prevent complications by preparing earlier.
Poznan, PoznańAges 18 years+ - NCT06412367Recruiting
Walk test to plan for surgery

Toronto, OntarioAges 40 years+ - NCT06527105Recruiting
Sleep quality and recovery after heart surgery
This study looks at how your sleep affects recovery after planned heart surgery. Researchers want to see if better sleep leads to better outcomes, so they will track your sleep quality and health after the operation.
Kochi, KeralaAges 18–80 - NCT07390903Recruiting
Heart function test for difficult bypass weaning
This trial studies whether a heart ultrasound test called GLS can help predict complications when patients are taken off the heart-lung machine after heart surgery. It aims to improve management for better outcomes.
RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT05789953Recruiting
Machine-learning plan to prevent lung complications after surgery
This trial tests a computer-based (machine-learning) approach to help prevent lung problems after elective surgery done under general anesthesia. It may help by identifying higher-risk patients and guiding care to reduce postoperative pulmonary complications.
UlmAges 18 years+ - NCT07305168Recruiting
Breathing after tonsil surgery in children with sleep apnea
This study looks at breathing problems that can happen after tonsil or adenoid surgery in children who have sleep apnea. Researchers want to learn more so they can make surgery safer for kids.
Edegem, AntwerpAges 1–18 - NCT06204926Recruiting
AI predicts SMILE surgery results and risks
This trial tests if an AI program can predict complications and recovery after SMILE eye surgery for nearsightedness. It may help you understand your risks if you are a candidate for this surgery.
Nanchang, JiangxiAges 18–45 - NCT06145516Recruiting
Sleep program to ease pain after joint replacement
This study tests whether a sleep program can help with pain after knee or hip replacement. If you have insomnia and arthritis pain, you may be able to join before your surgery.
Uppsala, UpplandAges 18–100 - NCT06638645Recruiting

Endoscopic and bariatric procedures for obesity
This study looks at people who are having obesity-related procedures, including options done with a scope (endoscopic) and revision after prior bariatric surgery. It may help doctors understand outcomes and improve care for people undergoing these treatments.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–80 - NCT06769087Enrolling by invitation
Removing urinary catheter right after colorectal cancer surgery
This study compares taking out the urinary catheter immediately after colorectal cancer surgery versus leaving it in for one day. It aims to see which approach leads to fewer complications and faster recovery.
Seoul, SeoulAges 19–80 - NCT05971810Recruiting
Oral cleaning and nutrition support around surgery for older adults
This trial studies whether cleaning the mouth before and after major surgery, plus special nutrition support, can lower the risk of breathing complications in older adults. It may help patients who are at higher risk for lung problems around the time of general anesthesia.

- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 201 recruiting postoperative complications 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 complications 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 complications 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.
