Nerve Block for Minimally Invasive Heart Valve Surgery Pain
This study tests a targeted nerve block (pain-numbing injection) to help manage pain after minimally invasive heart valve surgery. Researchers want to see if this technique reduces pain and the need for opioid medications during recovery.

Pain relief patch after laparoscopic abdominal surgery
This trial tests whether a pain-relief patch (loxoprofen) works well and safely to reduce pain after common laparoscopic surgeries like gallbladder, appendix, or hernia repair. If it works, it could offer patients a non-invasive way to manage post-surgery pain.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–64 - NCT05934682Recruiting

Liposomal Bupivacaine for Pain Relief in Gallbladder Surgery
This trial tests a long-acting numbing medication (liposomal bupivacaine) injected around abdominal muscles during laparoscopic gallbladder removal to reduce pain after surgery. The goal is to see if it provides better pain control compared to standard approaches.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT07584577Recruiting

PoznanAges 18–100 - NCT07577570Recruiting
Calcium Treatment After Thyroid Surgery
This study tests whether calcium supplements help patients whose parathyroid glands aren't working properly after thyroid surgery. The parathyroid glands control calcium levels in your body, and they can be accidentally injured during thyroid removal.

Pain Relief After Root Canal Treatment: Two Different Medications
This study compares two types of medications placed inside a tooth after root canal treatment to see which one reduces pain better. You'll be asked about your pain levels after treatment, and researchers will measure a pain-related substance in your saliva.
CairoAges 18–45 - NCT07579650Recruiting
Nerve Block for Pain Relief After Breast Surgery
This trial tests a special numbing technique (called a serratus posterior superior intercostal plane block) to help reduce pain after mastectomy surgery. The goal is to see if this nerve block reduces the need for pain medications after your procedure.
Diyarbakır, Outside of the USAges 18–65 - NCT07577154Recruiting
Brain-Monitoring Anesthesia for Pediatric Throat Surgery
This trial tests a special brain-monitoring device (called Conox) during anesthesia for children having their tonsils and adenoids removed. The goal is to help doctors give the right amount of anesthetic medicine by watching your child's brain activity in real time.
KayseriAges 3–12 - NCT07576920Recruiting
Understanding Anxiety in Living Liver Donors
This study looks at anxiety levels in people who donate part of their liver to help someone else. Researchers want to understand how donors feel before and after surgery, which may help support donors better in the future.
MalatyaAges 18–65 - NCT07575230Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Pain relief after skin cancer surgery: new drug vs standard
This study compares a new pain medication (suzetrigine) to a common pain reliever (Norco) for people recovering from Mohs micrographic surgery, a specialized procedure to remove skin cancer. The goal is to see if the new medication works better and is safer for post-surgery pain.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–89 - NCT07571252RecruitingPhase 4
Pain Relief Before Jaw Surgery: A Study
This study tests whether taking pain medicine before jaw surgery (orthognathic surgery) helps reduce pain after the procedure. If you're having jaw surgery, this trial may help doctors understand the best way to manage your pain.
San JuanAges 21–65 - NCT07574502Recruiting
Electrical Stimulation to Help Bowel Recovery After Colon Surgery
This study tests whether gentle electrical stimulation applied to the skin can help older adults recover bowel function faster after minimally invasive colon cancer surgery. The goal is to reduce the time it takes for the bowel to start working normally again after surgery.
Binzhou, ShandongAges 65 years+ - NCT06728371RecruitingPhase 3
IV methadone for pain after heart surgery
This trial tests if methadone given through a vein can control pain better after heart surgery done through a breastbone incision. It may be an option for adults having planned heart surgery who are expected to wake up and breathe on their own within 12 hours.
Hong KongAges 18 years+ - NCT06723327Recruiting
How urine culture timing affects kidney stone surgery results
This study checks if taking a urine culture two weeks before kidney stone surgery affects outcomes. It may help ensure your surgery goes smoothly by confirming your urine is free of infection.
TekirdağAges 18 years+ - NCT06730828RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Amiodarone patch to prevent new irregular heartbeat after heart surgery
This trial tests a patch that releases amiodarone, a medicine that helps prevent a common irregular heartbeat after open-heart surgery. The patch is placed on the heart during surgery to stop new atrial fibrillation from starting.
Louisville, KentuckyAges 20–85 - NCT06479161RecruitingPhase 2
Oral tranexamic acid study for knee replacement patients

- 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.
