This study uses a special type of PET scan (FAPI-PET) to see how the heart heals after a less invasive valve replacement procedure called TAVI. It aims to help doctors better understand the changes in heart tissue after treatment for aortic stenosis.
ShanghaiAges 18 years+ - NCT07337460RecruitingPhase 2
Icaritin plus chemotherapy for high-risk liver cancer after surgery
This trial tests combining a natural compound (Icaritin) with standard chemotherapy (mFOLFOX) after liver cancer surgery to lower the chance of the cancer coming back. It is for patients whose cancer had certain high-risk features, like a large tumor or cancer in blood vessels.
Yangzhou, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT07337421RecruitingPhase 2
Chemo infusion after liver cancer surgery to lower recurrence risk
This trial tests whether a targeted chemotherapy infusion directly into the liver's main artery (HAIC) after surgery can prevent liver cancer from coming back. It is for people with certain high-risk features, like a large tumor or cancer in blood vessels, who have had their tumor completely removed.
Yangzhou, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT05824832RecruitingPhase 4
Buprenorphine, clonidine, and steroid to extend arm nerve block
This study tests whether adding certain medicines (buprenorphine, clonidine, and a steroid) to an arm “nerve block” during shoulder surgery can help the numbness last longer and improve comfort afterward. It is for adults having shoulder arthroscopy and compares how long the nerve block works.
Maywood, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07329309Recruiting
Breathing exercises for pain after cesarean
This study tests if a gentle breathing technique called Pranayama can help reduce pain after a planned cesarean. It compares the breathing exercise to usual care to see if it improves recovery.
Konya, KonyaAges 18–35 - NCT07332806Recruiting
When to remove the breathing tube after robot surgery
This study looks at whether removing the breathing tube in the operating room versus the recovery room affects how quickly the operating room is ready for the next surgery. If you are having robot-assisted surgery with general anesthesia, you may be able to join.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07316166RecruitingPhase 4
Nerve Block With or Without Extra Medicine for Hip Replacement
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks for pain relief after total hip replacement. One block uses a standard numbing medicine, and the other adds a medication (dexmedetomidine) that may extend the pain relief. The goal is to see which approach works better for managing pain after surgery.
Providence, Rhode IslandAges 18–80 - NCT07324057Recruiting
Medication before surgery to reduce autism-related anxiety in children
This trial tests whether a nose spray given before anesthesia can help children with autism feel calmer and have fewer behavior problems after surgery. It compares two medications, dexmedetomidine and esketamine, to see if they reduce negative post-surgery changes.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 2–12 - NCT07321470Recruiting
Nasogastric tube care after pancreas surgery
This trial compares two ways of managing nasogastric tubes after pancreas and bile duct surgery. One group gets a tube for a while, the other avoids one. It tests if skipping the tube helps recovery.
Taipei, Zhongzheng DistrictAges 20–75 - NCT07323147Enrolling by invitation
Robot-assisted walking therapy for hip fracture recovery
This study tests whether a robot suit can help older adults walk better after hip fracture surgery. If you are 65 or older and had surgery for a broken hip from a minor fall, you may be able to join.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 65–100 - NCT07311902Recruiting
Comparing two blocks for pain after hernia repair
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (M-Tapa block and TAP block) to see which one works better for controlling pain after open inguinal hernia repair. It may help find a better way to manage pain after surgery.
ErzurumAges 18–65 - NCT07309575Recruiting
Hip fracture surgery: regional vs. general anesthesia
This trial compares two types of anesthesia (regional, which numbs just the hip area, vs. general, which puts you fully asleep) to see which one helps with breathing after surgery. It is for patients over 65 having hip fracture surgery.
Lisbon, Lisbon DistrictAges 65 years+ - NCT07308756RecruitingPhase 4
Study on two drugs for better recovery after surgery
This trial tests if giving two medicines, dexmedetomidine and esketamine, during and after surgery can help you feel better and recover more comfortably. It is for adults having general anesthesia for at least one hour who will use a patient-controlled pain pump afterward.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07315308Recruiting
Nerve block before heart surgery and painkiller use
This study tests whether a numbing injection in the chest before heart surgery can reduce the amount of pain medicine needed during the operation. It may help you manage pain better and recover more comfortably.
Gaziantep, SahinbeyAges 18–65 - NCT07313839Recruiting
Comparing two suture types for vaginal vault closure after hysterectomy
This trial tests if a self-locking suture works better than a traditional one when closing the vaginal vault during laparoscopic or robotic hysterectomy for gynecologic cancer. It aims to find a safer and more effective method for this part of the surgery.
Parma, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT07307703Recruiting
TENS for pain and anxiety after gallbladder surgery
This trial tests whether TENS, a mild electrical therapy, can reduce pain and anxiety after gallbladder removal. If you are having planned gallbladder surgery and are in good health, you may be able to participate.
Niğde, AdanaAges 18 years+ - NCT07309991Recruiting
Oxygen Levels After Esophageal Cancer Surgery and Healing Complications
This study looks at whether low oxygen levels in the blood after esophageal cancer surgery increases the risk of problems with how the surgery heals. By understanding this connection, doctors may be able to better prevent or treat healing complications.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT07307495Recruiting
Pain relief after back surgery and its effect on recovery
This study tests a new painkiller, oliceridine fumarate, given through a pump after lumbar spine surgery. The goal is to see if it helps the bowels and stomach recover faster compared to standard pain relief.
Xi'an, ShaanxiAges 18–75 - NCT07310212Recruiting
Comparing two root canal techniques for pain and success
This study compares two methods of filling a root canal after cleaning it: a traditional lateral condensation technique and a newer warm vertical obturation technique. The goal is to see which one causes less pain afterward and has a better success rate.
