Jonesboro, ArkansasAges 65 years+ - NCT07668648Recruiting
Two nerve blocks for shoulder surgery pain relief
This study compares two types of nerve blocks to reduce pain after shoulder surgery. One block is placed near the neck (interscalene) and the other is placed further away (serratus posterior superior intercostal plane block). The goal is to see which works better and has fewer side effects.
Bursa, NilüferAges 18–75 - NCT07491185Recruiting
How blood sugar control affects brain oxygen and recovery in diabetic surgery patients
This study looks at how well-controlled blood sugar (measured by HbA1c) affects brain oxygen levels during urologic surgery and how it impacts recovery afterward. It compares diabetic patients to non-diabetic patients to understand the role of blood sugar control in surgical outcomes.
IzmirAges 18 years+ - NCT07506720Recruiting
Early biking in bed after spine surgery
This study tests whether a short session of pedaling a special bike while lying in bed, soon after spine surgery, can help you recover faster. It's for people who could walk before surgery and are stable after the operation.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT07510269Recruiting
Nerve blocks for pain control during mastectomy
This study tests two different numbing shots for the chest wall to see which one provides better pain relief during and after mastectomy surgery.
Bursa, NilüferAges 18–75 - NCT07512141Recruiting
Single vs. Double Drains After Breast Cancer Surgery
This study compares using one drain versus two drains to collect fluid after breast cancer removal surgery. The goal is to see which approach works better and causes fewer problems during recovery.
Karachi, SindhAges 18–70 - NCT07514637RecruitingPhase 2
Pain relief medication after pancreas surgery
This study tests a new drug called Anricfen (ariceptin) to help reduce pain and speed recovery after pancreas removal surgery. Participants receive injections for three days after surgery to see if the medication safely controls pain better than standard care.
NanjingAges 18–80 - NCT07516886Recruiting
Early PSA levels after prostate surgery and cancer outcomes
This study looks at how PSA (a blood marker) levels measured shortly after prostate removal surgery can predict whether cancer comes back. Researchers hope this helps doctors identify patients who may need closer monitoring or additional treatment after surgery.
Kaunas, KaunoAges 18 years+ - NCT07519057Recruiting
Carbohydrate drink before liver transplant surgery
This study tests whether drinking a carbohydrate solution before planned liver transplant surgery helps patients recover better afterward. Researchers believe it may reduce complications and improve healing.
WarsawAges 18 years+ - NCT07524062Recruiting
Thermal Imaging to Predict Surgical Wound Healing
This study uses thermal imaging (a camera that detects heat patterns on skin) to predict how well skin wounds will heal after surgery to remove suspicious or cancerous skin lesions. The goal is to identify which patients might have healing problems early so doctors can provide extra care.
Leuven, Vlaams BrabantAges 18 years+ - NCT07524387Recruiting
Nerve blocks for better leg strength after knee replacement
This study compares two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) used during knee replacement surgery to see which one helps your thigh muscle recover strength faster. Both are standard care options; the trial tests which works better for early movement after surgery.
Ichinomiya, Aichi-kenAges 20 years+ - NCT07524673Recruiting
Comparing two nerve blocks for chest surgery pain
This study tests two different numbing techniques (nerve blocks) to see which one works better for pain relief after minimally invasive chest surgery. Both methods inject medicine near nerves to reduce post-surgery pain.
Sivas, MerkezAges 18 years+ - NCT07525765Recruiting
AI tool to help decide if you need surgery again after stomach cancer operation
This study uses artificial intelligence to help doctors decide whether patients who bleed after stomach cancer surgery need another operation. Researchers will review medical records and test an AI system to improve decision-making for this serious complication.
