Recruiting studies
- NCT06782594RecruitingPhase 2
Mosapride injection for bowel recovery after surgery
This trial tests an injectable medicine, mosapride citrate, to help the gut start working again after laparoscopic intestinal surgery. It may reduce bloating, pain, and time to first bowel movement.
Feixian, ShandongAges 18–75 - NCT05344417Recruiting
Low-pressure gas during colon surgery to reduce post-surgery gut slowdown
This study compares a low-pressure way of filling the abdomen with gas during certain colon surgeries. It aims to see whether this helps the bowel “wake up” faster after surgery (less postoperative ileus).
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07133620Recruiting
Electrical acupoint stimulation for better recovery after urologic surgery
This trial tests if using mild electrical stimulation on specific acupoints (similar to acupuncture without needles) can help your stomach and bowels get back to normal faster after laparoscopic kidney or prostate surgery.
Xiamen, FujianAges 18 years+ - NCT07425249Recruiting
Chewing gum after stomach or bowel surgery
This trial tests if chewing gum after open stomach or bowel surgery can help your intestines start moving again sooner. It is for people undergoing open gastrointestinal surgery who do not have certain health conditions or take specific medicines.
Peshawar, KPKAges 17–85 - NCT06704451Recruiting
IL-33 and memory after major abdominal surgery
This study looks at whether a protein called IL-33 is linked to memory and thinking problems that can happen after major abdominal surgery. It may help doctors find patients at risk earlier.
Kunming, YunnanAges Any age - NCT07607249Enrolling by invitation
Floating Needle Treatment for Stomach Issues After Knee Surgery
This trial tests whether a traditional Chinese acupuncture technique called 'floating needle' can help with stomach and bowel problems that sometimes happen after knee surgery under general anesthesia. You would receive this treatment along with standard post-surgery care to see if it reduces nausea, constipation, or other digestive issues.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18 years+ - NCT07589465Recruiting
Lactulose to Help Digestion Recover After Appendix Surgery
This study tests whether taking lactulose (a gentle laxative) after appendix removal helps your stomach and intestines work normally again. The trial compares lactulose to a placebo (inactive pill) to see which helps patients recover bowel function faster.
SichuanAges 18 years+ - NCT07651722Recruiting
Pain control and gut recovery after abdominal surgery
This trial tests a combination of two pain-management approaches—a long-acting numbing medicine injected near nerves and a self-administered opioid—to see if they help your gut function better and control pain after bowel or colon surgery.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06542978Recruiting
Can brain stimulation prevent confusion after gastrointestinal surgery?
This study is testing whether using a gentle 40Hz brain stimulation (called transcranial stimulation) during recovery after surgery can help prevent confusion or delirium in older adults. Delirium is a common problem after major surgery, and this treatment is non-invasive (no surgery or needles) and done while you rest.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 65 years+ - NCT07307495Recruiting
Pain relief after back surgery and its effect on recovery
This study tests a new painkiller, oliceridine fumarate, given through a pump after lumbar spine surgery. The goal is to see if it helps the bowels and stomach recover faster compared to standard pain relief.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–75 - NCT06417567Recruiting
Preventing nausea and vomiting after GI cancer surgery
This study tests whether the medication NEPA (Netupitant and Palonosetron) can prevent nausea and vomiting in people who have had surgery for liver, gallbladder, or pancreatic cancer. It may help those who want to avoid post-surgery sickness.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–65

- How do I know if I qualify for a postoperative gastrointestinal dysfunction 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.
