Recruiting studies
- NCT07626463Recruiting
Local anesthetic injection to reduce pain after laparoscopic surgery
This trial tests whether injecting a local anesthetic (numbing medicine) and a steroid around the surgical area before surgery reduces pain after laparoscopic procedures like gallbladder, appendix, or hernia repair. The goal is to help patients recover more comfortably with potentially less pain medication needed.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–64 - NCT07626489Recruiting
Numbing injection to reduce pain after lung surgery
This trial tests whether injecting a numbing medication (ropivacaine) mixed with a steroid (Diprospan) into the surgical area before chest surgery can reduce pain after the procedure. If it works, patients may need fewer pain pills and feel more comfortable during recovery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–64 - NCT07626684Enrolling by invitation
Ice Pack After Minimally Invasive Hysterectomy Surgery
This study tests whether applying ice packs to the abdomen after a minimally invasive hysterectomy (removal of the uterus through the vagina) helps reduce pain and speed recovery. You would be randomly assigned to either receive ice pack treatment or standard care.
MuğlaAges 48–70 - NCT07627906RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing Two Sedatives to Prevent Confusion After Cancer Surgery
This study tests two different sedative medications (ketofol and ketodex) to see which one better prevents postoperative delirium—a type of confusion that can happen after surgery—in older adults undergoing cancer surgery. The goal is to find the safest, most effective option for elderly patients.
Cairo, Cairo GovernorateAges 60 years+ - NCT07627425Enrolling by invitation
Staples vs. Sutures for Hernia Repair Mesh
This trial compares two methods of attaching mesh during hernia surgery—staples versus sutures—to see which leads to better healing and fewer problems after surgery. You'd have a 50/50 chance of receiving either method.
KarachiAges 18–75 - NCT03204357Recruiting
Using your own blood after heart-lung machine surgery
This trial studies giving a “fresh” blood transfusion from your own blood after heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine. It may help patients avoid needing donated blood, but it only works for people who meet specific safety and timing requirements.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18–90 - 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 - NCT06699446Recruiting
Seamless care from before to after heart surgery
This study is for people who are getting ready for heart surgery and want to follow a program that helps them prepare and recover. It tests a seamless approach from before surgery through rehabilitation, focusing on exercise and support.
Hanover, Lower SaxonyAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT03745534Recruiting
Cochlear implant after Gamma Knife for vestibular schwannoma
This pilot study looks at how well cochlear implants work for hearing restoration in people who previously received Gamma Knife treatment for a tumor called vestibular schwannoma. It may help doctors understand what hearing results to expect after surgery.
Vienna, State of ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT05672784Recruiting
Knee numbing injections during knee replacement surgery
This trial compares two ways of numbing a knee area during planned knee replacement surgery: a nerve block alone versus a nerve block plus additional numbing medicine near the back of the knee. It may help doctors find which approach improves pain control and recovery while keeping side effects low.
ZagazigAges 21–60 - NCT06270147RecruitingPhase 2
Timing of nerve blocks for weight loss surgery pain
This trial tests whether giving a nerve block before or after bariatric surgery works better for pain control. It could help you have less pain and use fewer painkillers after your procedure.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06543004Recruiting
Comparing pain after root canal with two filling materials
This study is comparing two different materials used to fill the tooth after a root canal to see which one causes less pain afterward. If you need a root canal on a front tooth or a premolar and you don't have pain or swelling, this trial may help find the gentler option for you.
DohaAges 18–60 - NCT06702813Recruiting
High-frequency vibration breathing treatment for ICU patients
This trial tests a device called MetaNeb that delivers high-frequency vibrations to help clear mucus and open collapsed air sacs in the lungs. It is designed for patients in the ICU who are awake, alert, and have trouble breathing or need extra oxygen.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 1.5 years–80 years - NCT06704490Recruiting
Chronic pain after planned cesarean section
This study looks at how common chronic pain is after a planned cesarean section and what factors might increase that risk. It could help doctors better prevent and manage long-term pain after delivery.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 20–50 - NCT07612761Recruiting
Pain Relief Methods for Hip Fracture Surgery
This trial compares two different nerve-blocking techniques to help manage pain after hip fracture surgery. Both methods numb the area around your hip to reduce pain and may help you recover better.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT07612579Recruiting
Anesthesia choice and delirium after surgery
This study compares two types of anesthesia (propofol and sevoflurane) to see which one helps prevent confusion and delirium after surgery. Delirium is a temporary state of confusion that can happen after surgery, and researchers want to understand which anesthesia approach might reduce this risk.
BerlinAges 18 years+ - NCT07619651Recruiting
Pain relief methods after hypospadias repair in young boys
This trial compares two different numbing techniques to help manage pain after hypospadias surgery (a procedure to correct the urinary opening in boys). The goal is to find which method works better and is safer for young children.
KayseriAges 6 months–7 years - NCT05440149RecruitingPhase 3
Radiation after surgery for certain node-positive breast cancer
This study tests whether giving radiation after breast surgery can improve outcomes for people with breast cancer that has spread to nearby lymph nodes (N1). You may be a candidate if you’ve already had surgery and meet specific details about your lymph nodes and cancer type.
Seoul, Jongro-guAges 19 years+ - NCT03596424Recruiting
Testing ketamine and dexmedetomidine during lung surgery
This trial studies whether the anesthesia medicines ketamine and dexmedetomidine can improve care during elective lung (video-assisted) surgery. It may help with comfort during and after the operation, depending on how these medicines affect pain and recovery.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18–80 - NCT05654649RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Dexamethasone to prevent bowel blockage after C-section
This trial studies whether a medicine called dexamethasone can help prevent bowel “slow-down” (ileus) after a C-section done with spinal anesthesia. If you qualify, you may receive the study medicine to see if it helps you recover your bowel function faster.
AsyutAges 18–40 - NCT07603934RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Testing Medications Inside Root Canals to Reduce Pain
This study tests different medications placed inside a tooth's root canal during treatment to see which one best reduces pain afterward. If you have a tooth with a dead nerve (necrotic pulp), this trial might help determine the best way to manage your pain during the healing process.
Cairo, Cairo GovernorateAges 18–40 - NCT07610915Recruiting
Measuring children's recovery after anaesthesia
This study aims to develop and test a questionnaire that measures how children feel and recover after surgery with anaesthesia. The goal is to improve care during recovery, which may help children feel better after their operation.
