Comparing two anesthesia methods for brain surgery
This trial compares two ways of giving anesthesia during planned brain surgery on the upper part of the brain. It tests if using a computer-controlled system to deliver the anesthesia drugs is better than manually adjusting them.
Istanbul, BakırköyAges 18–60 - NCT07360392Recruiting
Nerve block comparison for knee replacement pain
This study compares two numbing techniques (nerve blocks) for pain relief after knee replacement surgery. The goal is to find which one works better and helps you recover with less pain.
AmasyaAges 18–80 - 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+ - NCT07370428Recruiting
Numbing injection for pain relief after lower back surgery
This study tests whether an ultrasound-guided numbing injection near the hip area can provide better pain relief after lower back surgery. If you qualify, you may receive this injection to help control pain after your operation.

Mendoza, MendozzAges 18–80 - NCT07396545Recruiting
Comparing two types of nerve blocks for pain after stomach cancer surgery
This trial looks at two different pain-blocking injections (nerve blocks) to see which one works better for pain after keyhole stomach cancer surgery. If you are having this type of surgery, joining could help us learn which block gives you better pain relief.
Yinchuan, NingxiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07396532Recruiting
iPad messages to prevent delirium after hip fracture surgery

SingaporeAges 60 years+ - NCT07399860RecruitingPhase 2
Botox before hemorrhoid surgery to reduce pain after surgery

It is for people whose cancer was limited to the front two-thirds of the tongue and was completely removed.
Bengbu, AnhuiAges 18–70 - NCT07412522Recruiting

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