Recruiting studies
- NCT03209674Recruiting
Registry tracking outcomes after heart and chest surgery
This is a registry that collects information from people who have heart or chest (thoracic) surgery. It may help doctors understand what improves outcomes after surgery, but it usually does not test a new drug.
Neuilly-sur-Seine, Île-de-France RegionAges Any age - NCT07877974Recruiting
Nerve block for foot and ankle surgery pain relief
This study tests a numbing injection near the calf muscle to see how well it controls pain after foot or ankle surgery. It may help reduce the need for strong pain medicines after the operation.
Cairo, GovernorateAges 18–65 - NCT07878533RecruitingPhase 2
Ear surgery pain relief with added medication
This study tests whether adding a sedative medicine to the numbing shot around the ear nerve can improve pain control during and after middle ear surgery. It aims to make the procedure more comfortable and reduce the need for strong painkillers.
MinyaAges 18–70 - NCT07533383Recruiting
Pain relief block for inguinal hernia surgery
This trial tests a numbing injection near the hip to reduce pain after inguinal hernia repair. It may help you feel more comfortable and satisfied with your recovery.
SanliurfaAges 18–65 - NCT07855341RecruitingPhase 4
Nerve block study for hip replacement pain relief
This study tests two different amounts of a numbing medicine injected around the hip nerves before hip replacement surgery, to see if adding a steroid helps reduce pain after surgery. It aims to improve pain control and recovery.
Cairo, Cairo GovernorateAges 50–70 - NCT07582029Recruiting
Comparing two pain relief methods for gallbladder surgery
This study compares two ways of giving pain relief after gallbladder removal surgery: an injection of numbing medicine around the belly muscles (guided by ultrasound) versus a simple injection into the skin near the surgery cuts. The goal is to see which method provides better pain control and comfort after surgery.
IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT07777172Recruiting
Pain relief injections for gallbladder surgery
This trial tests two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) around the ribs and abdomen to see if they reduce pain after laparoscopic gallbladder removal surgery. It may help you have better pain control and a smoother recovery.
Ankara, Yenimahalle\AnkaraAges 18–75 - NCT07874711Recruiting
Electronic bidets versus water rinsing after anal surgery
This trial compares using an electronic bidet to a regular water rinse (like a handheld bottle) for cleaning after surgery for anal fistula or hemorrhoids. It aims to see if an electronic bidet can improve comfort and healing during recovery.
BrusselsAges 18 years+ - NCT07441421Recruiting
Improved pain relief for brain tumor surgery
This study tests a combination of pain-relief methods given before, during, and after brain surgery to see if they better control pain and help you recover with fewer side effects. It's for adults having surgery to remove a brain tumor.
BeijingAges 18–65 - NCT06997016Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Recovery program for living donor kidney transplant
This trial tests a special recovery program (ERAS) for people who get a kidney from a living donor. The program aims to help you heal faster and feel better after surgery.
Fort Worth, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03125980RecruitingPhase 3
Chemo timing before vs after colon cancer surgery
This Phase 3 study compares two schedules of a colon cancer chemo combination: starting before surgery or starting after surgery. It aims to see which timing helps people live longer and lowers cancer coming back.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT03393169Recruiting
Tracking complications after heart surgery in adults
This study looks at how often and why complications happen after heart surgery, using information from the hospital stay. It may help improve care by understanding postoperative risks and outcomes.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT03625011RecruitingPhase 4
Gabapentin before tonsil surgery to reduce pain
This trial tests whether giving gabapentin before pediatric tonsil (and possibly adenoid) removal can reduce postoperative pain. It may help children feel more comfortable after surgery while still being safe to use in the right patients.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 3–18 - NCT04237675Recruiting
Study of MS relapses after surgery
This study looks at relapses (new or worsening MS symptoms) after surgery in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). It may help researchers understand what triggers relapse after surgery so better care can be planned.
Athens, AtticaAges 18–70 - NCT03168958RecruitingPhase 4
Methadone to improve recovery after planned heart surgery
This trial looks at whether giving methadone during planned heart surgery can improve how patients feel and recover afterward. It will mainly compare recovery quality using a patient questionnaire.
Evanston, IllinoisAges 18–90 - NCT04833491Recruiting
Eye measurements before cataract surgery and vision quality after
This study uses very specific eye measurements done before cataract surgery to see how they relate to the clarity of vision after surgery. It may help surgeons choose the best surgical approach and improve visual outcomes.
HangzhouAges 2–90 - NCT05047133RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Early TXA treatment for adult hip fracture surgery
This study tests whether giving a blood-clot-reducing medicine (TXA) early after an adult hip fracture helps reduce bleeding and related problems around surgery. It may help some patients getting operative fixation by improving safety during recovery.
Grand Blanc, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT05049317Recruiting
Check urinary and sexual function after rectal cancer surgery
This study looks at how a specific rectal surgery (laparoscopic total mesorectum excision) affects urinary and sexual function after the operation. It may help patients by tracking what to expect and which factors relate to better recovery.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–70 - NCT04947059RecruitingPhase 3
Stop bladder cancer coming back with medicine after bladder surgery
This trial tests whether putting chemotherapy medicine directly into the bladder right after surgery helps prevent bladder cancer from coming back. It compares gemcitabine versus epirubicin given as an immediate bladder “wash-in.”
Larissa, Larissa/ThessalyAges 18–100 - NCT05257434Recruiting
Body composition test after liver, bile duct, or pancreas cancer surgery
This study looks at how well people do after surgery for liver, bile duct, or pancreas cancer, using a body composition test (the “inBody” test). It may help doctors understand which body changes after surgery are linked to better or worse recovery.
KochiAges 18–90 - NCT05292742RecruitingPhase 2
Continue targeted breast cancer therapy or switch to a new combo
This Phase 2 study compares two treatment plans after breast surgery when cancer did not fully disappear before surgery. It tests whether adding trastuzumab, pyrotinib, and capecitabine works better than continuing the original targeted therapy.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–75 - NCT05479825Recruiting
Lung surgery planning without a tube, using X-ray guidance
This trial looks at a new way to plan a minimally invasive lung segment removal (“segmentectomy”) using live X-ray guidance, without using a chest tube (“tubeless”). It may help patients with certain small lung lesions (sometimes early lung cancer) get the surgery more precisely.
Jinan, Other (Non U.s.)Ages 18–85 - NCT04699292Recruiting
Registry study for local treatment in soft tissue sarcoma
This registry collects coded information about adults with a specific soft tissue sarcoma (MLS) to better understand how local treatments help. If you qualify, you don’t necessarily receive a new drug in this study—your data is used to improve future care.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT05408897Recruiting
Blood test to predict risk after surgery for high-risk GIST
This study uses a “liquid biopsy” blood test to look for leftover cancer signals after surgery. It aims to predict how well treatment will work and how likely the cancer is to come back in people with high-risk GIST.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for postoperative?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,397 recruiting postoperative 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 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.
