Recruiting studies
- NCT05934682Recruiting
Study of surgery outcomes in children
This study looks at how pediatric patients do after different types of planned and unplanned surgeries at participating hospitals. It may help doctors improve care and safety for children undergoing surgery.

DijonAges 18 years+ - NCT05714007RecruitingPhase 4
Iron infusion for anemia after spinal deformity surgery
This trial looks at whether a specific iron infusion (ferric derisomaltose) can help treat anemia after spinal deformity surgery. You may be eligible if your blood counts show anemia soon after surgery and it’s likely due to iron deficiency.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05774717RecruitingPhase 1
Tranexamic acid for bleeding after open nose surgery
This Phase 1 study tests whether tranexamic acid (a medicine that helps reduce bleeding) can lessen bleeding, swelling, and bruising after open rhinoplasty. You may be asked to take it around the time of surgery if you meet safety and lab criteria.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT05695040Recruiting
Diet workshop after bariatric surgery
This study tests whether a structured diet workshop, held about 15 days after bariatric (weight-loss) surgery, helps patients with their post-surgery eating plans. You may be invited to join the workshop if you are scheduled for surgery and can attend as required.
Clermont-FerrandAges 18 years+ - NCT05858086Recruiting
Physical therapy clearance before same-day knee or hip surgery
This study looks at whether you need to be “cleared” by physical therapy before going home the same day as knee (TKA) or hip (THA) replacement surgery. It may help determine the safest and most efficient discharge plan for patients who can go home with support right after surgery.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–90 - 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 - NCT05335174Recruiting
Predicting low blood pressure after major surgery
This study looks at how to predict low blood pressure in the recovery room (PACU) after certain major surgeries. It may help the surgical team recognize risk earlier so they can respond sooner to protect you during recovery.
Montreal, QuebecAges 45 years+ - NCT04754022Recruiting
Blood use during heart surgery in younger adults
This study looks at how much donated blood (blood products) is needed for younger adults during heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine. It may help doctors choose safer, more appropriate blood-saving plans for people like you.
Portland, MaineAges 18–65 - 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 - NCT04794582Recruiting
Preventing a belly hernia after first kidney transplant
This trial looks at ways to prevent an incisional hernia (a bulge at the surgical scar) after your first kidney transplant. If you’re getting a first transplant, joining could help test treatments or strategies that lower this post-surgery complication.
MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT05076019Recruiting
Atorvastatin during heart valve surgery for patients over 60
This trial studies whether taking atorvastatin (a cholesterol medicine) around the time of surgical aortic valve replacement can improve outcomes. It is mainly for people who have not taken similar medicines recently and do not have certain heart rhythm or liver/kidney problems.
OdenseAges 60–95 - NCT05257746Recruiting
Testing bladder and rectal function after rectal surgery
This study follows people after rectal surgery to check how well the rectum and urinary (bladder) functions work over time. It may help doctors better understand recovery and what can improve quality of life after surgery.
Dresden, SaxonyAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT04307238Recruiting
Anesthesia types and eye response after planned ENT surgery
This study compares different types of general anesthesia by checking how your pupils (the black part of the eye) respond after surgery. It may help doctors understand which anesthesia options are better for eye-related side effects after planned ear, nose, or throat operations.
Vienna, State of ViennaAges 18–99 - NCT04220931Recruiting
Botox shot to help prevent a pancreas leak after distal surgery
This trial studies whether injecting a Botox-like medicine into the pancreatic drainage area can help prevent a post-surgery pancreas fistula (a persistent leak). It’s for adults having a planned distal pancreatectomy, and it may help reduce complications after surgery.
ClichyAges 18 years+ - NCT05334485RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Pyridostigmine to treat slow bowel recovery after colorectal surgery
This trial tests whether pyridostigmine helps return bowel function faster after colorectal surgery when the gut is “stuck,” causing bloating and no gas or stool. It also checks safety and side effects compared with standard care.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT05193240Recruiting
Swallowing test to predict vocal cord paralysis after lung surgery
This study checks whether a simple swallowing test can forecast vocal cord paralysis after lung surgery, compared with a camera exam of the throat. If predictions are accurate, it may help doctors prevent or plan treatment for swallowing and voice problems.
RouenAges 18 years+ - NCT04355195Recruiting
Preventing delirium after surgery in older patients
This trial tests a “care plan” meant to lower the risk of confusion (delirium) after surgery in people age 70 and older. If you qualify, you may receive additional prevention-focused care before and around your operation.
BerlinAges 70 years+ - 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 - NCT04444440RecruitingPhase 4
Antibiotic prevention after bladder Botox for overactive bladder
This trial studies whether taking an antibiotic around the time of bladder Botox can lower the risk of urinary infections. It’s for women with overactive bladder who tried standard medicines but didn’t get enough relief.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT04597372RecruitingPhase 2
Tamsulosin for bladder urine retention after pelvic surgery
This trial studies whether tamsulosin can help drain the bladder when urine builds up after pelvic reconstructive surgery. It may help reduce the time and problems caused by “post-operative urinary retention.”
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05593627RecruitingPhase 4
Lithium to improve sleep and thinking after heart surgery
This trial tests whether lithium carbonate can improve sleep and thinking (cognitive function) after heart valve surgery that uses a heart-lung machine. It may help some people who have trouble sleeping or thinking after surgery, but it excludes people with significant sleep or thinking problems before surgery.

- 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.
