Dharān, KoshiAges 18 years+ - NCT05122078Recruiting
Test pain treatment guided by a heart-based index after bowel surgery
This trial studies whether using a monitor-based pain number (called the ANI) to guide pain medicine can improve bowel function after laparoscopic surgery for colorectal cancer. It may help reduce constipation or slow gut recovery by matching pain treatment to your body’s signals.
SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT05052619Recruiting
Check lactate-guided prevention after pancreas surgery
This study looks at whether measuring a blood test called lactate after surgery can help prevent infections inside the belly. You may be eligible if you recently had pancreas surgery and your lactate rises above a certain level within 24 hours.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07543796RecruitingPhase 2

This study tests whether a new pain medication called TRD205 works well and is safe for people recovering from hip replacement surgery. If it works, it could offer better pain control after your operation.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–80 - NCT07536568Recruiting
Caffeine to speed recovery after eye surgery in older adults
This study tests whether a small dose of caffeine placed under the tongue helps older adults wake up faster and feel less confused after eye surgery under general anesthesia. Researchers want to see if this simple approach can improve how quickly patients recover and reduce post-surgery agitation.
CairoAges 65 years+ - NCT06966518Recruiting
Ketamine and magnesium for pain control after nose surgery
This study tests whether giving a combination of two medicines (ketamine and magnesium sulfate) during nose surgery can help reduce pain after the operation. It may be a good option for healthy adults having rhinoplasty and looking for better pain control.
CairoAges 18–65 - NCT07504185Recruiting
Physiotherapy after emergency belly surgery for older adults
This trial tests whether starting physiotherapy soon after emergency abdominal surgery helps older adults recover faster. It is for patients 65 or older who can stand for at least one minute with little or no help.
NicosiaAges 65 years+ - NCT06989229Recruiting
Nutritional care before and after joint replacement surgery
This trial tests if special nutritional support before and after hip or knee replacement helps you recover faster. It is for people having planned (not emergency) surgery.
Brno, CzechiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07269106RecruitingPhase 4
Testing anrikefon for pain relief after eye surgery
This trial tests a new painkiller called anrikefon for people having eye surgery under general anesthesia. It aims to see if it's safe and effective for controlling pain after the procedure.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT07021105Enrolling by invitation
Comparing nerve blocks for pain after gynecological surgery
This study tests two different types of nerve blocks (called 'plain blocks') to see which one works better for controlling pain after major gynecological surgery. You would receive one of the blocks before surgery, and then use a pump you control to get extra pain medicine as needed.
Adana, SarıçamAges 18–69 - NCT07464730Recruiting
High-flow nasal oxygen after high-risk surgery for frail adults
This trial tests whether using high-flow nasal oxygen after surgery helps frail patients recover better and avoid breathing problems. It includes people having long abdominal, vascular, or chest surgeries who have several health risks like older age, low oxygen levels, or heart or lung conditions.
StockholmAges 18 years+ - NCT07454564Recruiting
Heart function and surgery risk in older adults
This study looks at how well the heart pumps blood to predict recovery after abdominal surgery in people 65 and older. It uses an ultrasound of the heart (echocardiogram) to measure heart power and a standard score to estimate surgical risk.
KonyaAges 65 years+ - NCT03734952Recruiting
Radiation after esophagus surgery for stage II–III cancer
This study looks at whether giving radiation after surgery (after chemo and radiation before surgery) can improve outcomes for people with squamous cell esophagus cancer in the chest. You may be considered if you are well enough for treatment and your cancer has not spread.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–65 - NCT07328698Recruiting
Ozonated oil dressing after hernia surgery pilot
This study tests whether a special oil dressing (ozonated oil) can help heal the surgical wound better after open inguinal hernia repair. It compares the oil dressing to a standard dressing to see if it reduces pain, infection, or other complications.
Niğde, Niğde ProvinceAges 18–75 - NCT06603350Recruiting
How surgery factors affect recovery after lung transplant
This study looks at how things before, during, and right after lung transplant surgery affect recovery. Researchers want to learn what helps patients heal better so they can improve care.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT06968000RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a clean air device for better recovery after surgery
This trial tests whether a special air filter (Biow) placed in your hospital room can help you sleep better and recover faster after surgery. It is for patients having elective general surgery, especially liver or bile duct procedures, who are at risk for cell stress.
Madrid, MadridAges 18 years+ - NCT07273136Recruiting
Belly nerve block vs. epidural for pain after cancer surgery
This study compares two ways to manage pain after major abdominal cancer surgery: a numbing injection around the belly muscles (subcostal and lateral TAP block) versus an epidural (a thin tube placed in your back). The goal is to see which provides better pain relief.
AsyutAges 18 years+ - NCT07272577Recruiting
Nerve block for pain after laparoscopic abdominal surgery
This study tests a nerve block (erector spinae plane block) to see if it helps reduce pain after laparoscopic abdominal surgery. If you're having keyhole surgery, you may receive the block along with standard anesthesia.
AsyutAges 18 years+ - NCT07227389Recruiting
Opioid Timing and Breathing Risk After Surgery
This study looks at when opioids are given during surgery and how it affects breathing problems after surgery. It might help understand how to make pain control safer.
