Tracking energy changes during surgery in esophageal or lung cancer
This study looks at how your body uses energy during surgery and whether those patterns relate to how well you do after surgery. It may help doctors better predict outcomes for people with newly diagnosed esophageal or lung cancer who are preparing for treatment.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT00969111Recruiting

GroningenAges 18 years+ - NCT02832193Recruiting
Uses past anesthesia test data to study memory after surgery
This study looks back at information already collected around elective surgery to understand how anesthesia and surgery may affect thinking and memory (sometimes called POCD). It mainly uses records and questionnaires rather than adding a new treatment.

Dexmedetomidine injected into C-section wounds
This trial studies whether a specific numbing/comfort medicine (dexmedetomidine) injected into the wound area during a C-section can improve recovery or reduce symptoms after surgery. You may be able to take part if you are a low-risk pregnancy and meet safety requirements.
Athens, OtherAges 18–40 - 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 - NCT07037888RecruitingPhase 4
Ketorolac for pain after hip arthroscopy
This study tests whether ketorolac, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), helps manage pain after hip surgery. It may offer an opioid-sparing option for patients with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI).
Detroit, MichiganAges 18–89 - NCT07513389RecruitingPhase 2
HPV throat cancer trial skipping radiation with blood tests
This study tests whether patients with a specific type of HPV-positive throat cancer can safely skip radiation after surgery by using blood tests to monitor for cancer recurrence. The goal is to reduce side effects while keeping patients cancer-free.
Charleston, South CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT02939664Enrolling by invitation
Laparoscopic gastric bypass vs banding for weight loss
This trial compares two types of minimally invasive weight-loss surgery: gastric bypass versus a gastric band. It looks at which approach works better and is safer for people who qualify for bariatric surgery and have not succeeded with supervised weight-loss programs.
Majadahonda, MadridAges 18–65 - NCT07401134RecruitingPhase 4
Pain relief study after vaginal surgery using witch hazel and spray
This trial tests a pain relief routine using witch hazel pads and a numbing spray after vaginal surgery. The goal is to see if using these products together helps with recovery and reduces the need for stronger pain medicine.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07408037Recruiting
Child breathing game before surgery for anxiety and delirium
This trial tests if a fun breathing exercise before surgery can help reduce anxiety and confusion in young children. Your child may be eligible if they are 3-7 years old and having planned surgery.
Bursa, BursaAges 3–7 - NCT07408414Recruiting
Pain relief after laser pilonidal sinus treatment

BeijingAges 18 years+ - NCT07417800Recruiting
Predicting liver cancer treatment after surgery
This study uses digital scans of your tumor tissue and CT/MRI images to build a computer model that helps predict whether you might need extra treatment (adjuvant therapy) after liver cancer surgery. The goal is to use your own tissue and scan data to personalize follow-up care.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18 years+ - NCT07425496Recruiting
Eye fluid dynamics study during surgery
This trial measures eye fluid flow during cataract or glaucoma surgery. It aims to help doctors predict and improve surgery results.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07426861Recruiting
Nurse-led education before prostate surgery to reduce incontinence
This study tests whether a nurse-led education program and direct referral to a physiotherapist before prostate removal surgery can help reduce urine leakage (incontinence) after the operation. It may help you recover better bladder control.
Beaumont, DublinAges 18 years+ - NCT07426926Recruiting
Home light therapy for wrist fracture recovery
This study tests a special light device you can use at home to see if it helps reduce pain and improve recovery after surgery for a broken wrist (distal radius fracture). It compares the light treatment to a placebo (sham) device, so you won't know which one you get.
São PauloAges 18–65 - NCT07427043RecruitingPhase 3

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for postoperative?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,411 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.
