Pain relief study for children having cleft palate surgery
This trial tests different ways to manage pain after cleft palate repair in young children. The goal is to find which approach works best to lower pain and improve recovery.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 6 months–4 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+ - NCT06311955RecruitingPhase 2
Carbon ion radiation for residual thymus tumor after surgery
This trial tests a type of radiation called carbon ion therapy for people with thymus cancer that was not completely removed during surgery. The goal is to see if this treatment can target the remaining tumor cells safely and effectively.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT06949826RecruitingPhase 4
Buprenorphine for pain after ankle fracture surgery
This trial tests if buprenorphine, a non-opioid pain medicine, works well for people who have not used opioids before. After ankle fracture surgery, you would get buprenorphine instead of stronger opioids to see if it controls pain just as well with fewer side effects.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT06952387Recruiting
Personalized blood pressure for high-risk surgery patients
This study tests whether personalized blood pressure management during and after major surgery can reduce complications and death in older adults with heart or blood vessel risks. It aims to find the safest blood pressure targets for each patient.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 65–90 - NCT06949098RecruitingPhase 2
Local tumor removal plus chemo-radiation for early low rectal cancer
This trial tests whether removing just the tumor locally, followed by chemotherapy and radiation, is effective for early-stage (T1-2 N0) rectal cancers located low or very low in the rectum. It may help you keep your anal opening and avoid major surgery that requires a permanent colostomy bag.
Shijiazhuang, HebeiAges 18–75 - NCT06948253Enrolling by invitation
