LutonAges 18 years+ - NCT06587880RecruitingPhase 4
Mouthwash and wisdom tooth extraction recovery
This study compares different mouthwashes to see which one helps healing after wisdom tooth surgery. If you have a lower wisdom tooth that is impacted (stuck) and need it removed with some bone cutting, you may qualify.
AmmanAges 18 years+ - NCT07313839Recruiting
Comparing two suture types for vaginal vault closure after hysterectomy
This trial tests if a self-locking suture works better than a traditional one when closing the vaginal vault during laparoscopic or robotic hysterectomy for gynecologic cancer. It aims to find a safer and more effective method for this part of the surgery.
Parma, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT03945968Recruiting
Risk scores after abdominal surgery for people with health conditions
This study looks at how other health problems affect the chance of postoperative complications after abdominal surgery. It aims to help doctors better predict risk and decide on the safest care for you.
ArkhangelskAges 18 years+ - NCT04164173Recruiting
Breathing therapies after heart surgery for lung overinflation
This study looks at breathing (respiratory) therapies to help after certain heart surgeries that can cause the lungs to feel overly inflated. If you’re eligible, you may receive and be assessed for how well these breathing treatments work during your recovery.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–80 - NCT04209218Recruiting
Blood pressure and dexamethasone during lung cancer surgery
This study looks at how best to manage blood pressure during lung cancer surgery and whether giving dexamethasone (a steroid medicine) helps patients during the operation and recovery. You might benefit if you’re having longer lung cancer surgery and your heart and other organs are stable enough for the study.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 50–90 - NCT04652180Recruiting
Robot surgery versus open surgery for esophagus cancer
This trial compares robot-assisted surgery with the standard open chest operation to remove esophagus and nearby tissue. It may help you understand which approach works better and is safer for patients whose cancer can be surgically removed.
L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05199025Recruiting
Study of blood and lab markers around major surgeries
This study checks blood and other lab “biomarkers” during the time before and after major surgeries to see if they can help guide perioperative care. You might be eligible if you are having certain planned heart, lung, GI, or blood-vessel surgeries and can give informed consent.
Breda, North BrabantAges 18 years+ - NCT05491434Recruiting
Study of muscle loss in colon cancer patients
This trial looks at muscle loss (called sarcopenia) in people with colon cancer to test an intervention that may help strength or recovery. If you’re age 70 or older and meet the cancer and health requirements, you may be able to take part.
L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, BarcelonaAges 70 years+ - NCT05679661Recruiting
Immunity-focused nutrition before surgery to reduce lung infections
This study gives an immunity-supporting nutrition plan and an oral cleaning product before and around surgery to help older adults avoid breathing-related complications. It is mainly for people at higher risk of post-surgery lung problems, and it checks whether the approach is safe and helpful.
BeijingAges 65 years+ - NCT05689775Recruiting
Robot-assisted reconstruction using tummy muscle flap after surgery
This trial studies a specific way to rebuild the pelvic floor (and sometimes the vagina) after major rectal or anal cancer surgery. It uses robotic surgery and a flap taken from your tummy muscle to help close and reconstruct the area.
OsloAges 18 years+ - NCT05793203Recruiting
Tests noninvasive checks to spot liver transplant complications early
This study looks at how well noninvasive tests (tests that don’t require surgery or taking tissue) can detect complications after a liver transplant. It may help patients and teams find problems earlier using safer, easier monitoring.

Oxycodone plus pregabalin for long-term pain after spinal surgery
This trial studies whether taking oxycodone together with pregabalin (both pain medicines) can reduce chronic pain that can linger after spinal surgery. If you qualify, you may be asked to rate your pain and complete questionnaires during recovery.
BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT05851534Recruiting
Pre-surgery risk reduction for pancreatic surgery

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for postoperative complications?
- 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.
