DhakaAges 18–60 - NCT07530393Recruiting
Blood Thickness and Brain Surgery Outcomes Study
This study looks at how thick or thin your blood is during planned brain surgery and how it affects your recovery. Researchers will measure your blood properties during surgery to see if they influence outcomes like complications or how well you heal.
Seoul, SongpaAges 18–80 - NCT07837427Recruiting
Different water pressures during minimally invasive back surgery
This study compares two different water pressures used during a minimally invasive back surgery to see if one causes fewer complications and gives the surgeon a clearer view. It aims to help improve recovery and surgical outcomes for people with lower back problems.
Kunming, YunnanAges 18–75 - NCT07461779RecruitingPhase 4
Oxygen to the healthy lung during lung surgery
This study is testing whether giving extra oxygen to the lung that is not being operated on (the non-dependent lung) during surgery can reduce problems after lung surgery. If you are having lung surgery, this might help you recover better.
MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT07519733Recruiting
Exercise Testing Before High-Risk Surgery
This study tests whether a simple exercise test before surgery can help doctors better predict and prevent complications in older adults undergoing major operations. You'll do a gentle exercise test on a stationary bike or treadmill to measure your fitness level.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 45 years+ - NCT07452263Recruiting
Frailty screening tool for older adults before major surgery
This study tests a simple frailty screening tool in older adults before major surgery. It aims to see if the tool helps identify patients who might need extra support before and after their operation.
Reykjavik, HofudborgarsvaedidAges 70 years+ - NCT07362680Recruiting
Ultrasound lung openings to prevent breathing problems after hysterectomy
This trial tests if using ultrasound-guided lung opening maneuvers during surgery can reduce lung complications after a total laparoscopic hysterectomy in patients with sleep apnea. It may help you if you have obesity and sleep apnea.
Xinxiang, HenanAges 18 years+ - NCT07208500Recruiting
Arm cuff treatment before surgery to protect lungs in older adults
This study tests if a simple, non-invasive treatment (briefly inflating a blood pressure cuff on your arm) before surgery can reduce lung complications in older adults having non-heart, non-lung surgery. It may help protect your lungs during and after the operation.
ShanghaiAges 65 years+ - NCT07464730Recruiting
High-flow nasal oxygen after high-risk surgery for frail adults
This trial tests whether using high-flow nasal oxygen after surgery helps frail patients recover better and avoid breathing problems. It includes people having long abdominal, vascular, or chest surgeries who have several health risks like older age, low oxygen levels, or heart or lung conditions.
StockholmAges 18 years+ - NCT07461467Recruiting
Managing breathing tube pressure to reduce throat problems in older adults
This study tests a way of managing the air pressure in a breathing tube mask used during surgery. The goal is to reduce throat and voice box problems after surgery in older patients.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 60 years+ - NCT07401641Recruiting
Pain control study for oral cancer surgery
This study tests two different pain medicines (dezocine or nalbuphine) combined with sufentanil to see which helps better control pain after oral cancer surgery with free flap reconstruction. It also looks at side effects and how well the transplanted tissue survives.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT05526534Recruiting
Breathing treatment to prevent lung problems after gynecologic surgery
This trial studies whether a breathing support therapy given after surgery can reduce the chance of lung complications. It focuses on people having gynecologic tumor surgery who are at higher risk for breathing or lung problems.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–90 - NCT07170514Recruiting
Comparing two methods to set breathing support during gynecologic laparoscopy
This study is for women having laparoscopic gynecologic surgery. It tests two different ways to set the breathing machine's pressure during surgery to see which works better.
Budapest, BudapestAges 18 years+ - NCT06703814Recruiting
Protective breathing support during robot surgery
This trial tests a special way of breathing support during robot-assisted surgery to protect your lungs. It's for people who are at higher risk of lung problems after surgery.
Innsbruck, TyrolAges 18 years+ - NCT07349784Recruiting
Automated lung opening steps during laparoscopic surgery
This trial tests a computer-controlled method to open collapsed lung parts during laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery. It aims to improve breathing and reduce complications after surgery.
Istanbul, BakırkoyAges 18–80 - NCT06304779Recruiting
Lidocaine for infection after emergency abdominal surgery
This trial tests if giving lidocaine continuously during and after emergency surgery for a hole or blockage in the gut can reduce lung problems and improve recovery. It may help patients with a serious belly infection who need quick surgery.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–100 - NCT07239557Enrolling by invitation
Best timing for lung expansion moves during surgery
This trial tests different time intervals for a lung-opening technique (alveolar recruitment) during planned abdominal surgery, aiming to restore 90% of lung volume. It may help lower the risk of lung complications after surgery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 65–80 - NCT07057557Recruiting
Aloe vera vs paraffin dressing for skin graft pain
This trial compares aloe vera dressing with paraffin tulle dressing to see which one reduces pain better at the area where a skin graft was taken. If you need a skin graft and are not allergic to either dressing, this study may help find a gentler way to manage your pain.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 18–60 - NCT07024420Recruiting
Sigh breathing during heart surgery with heart-lung machine
This study tests if adding occasional deep breaths (sighs) during heart surgery helps patients recover better after using the heart-lung machine. It is for people having planned (not emergency) heart surgery.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT06988111Recruiting
Breathing support after major surgery
This trial tests two types of non-invasive breathing help (NIV and HVNI) for patients who develop serious breathing problems within two days after major surgery. It aims to see which method works better to avoid needing a breathing tube.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for postoperative complications?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 198 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.
