Pain relief for hip surgery: comparing two methods
This study compares two ways to manage pain during hip surgery: a nerve block in the groin area versus a spinal medication. The goal is to find which approach offers better pain control with fewer side effects.
CairoAges 21 years+ - NCT07020390Recruiting
How anesthesia affects recovery after prostate surgery
This trial compares different anesthesia methods to see which helps patients recover better after HOLEP surgery for an enlarged prostate. Results could help choose the best anesthesia for future patients.
Melikgazi, KayseriAges 18 years+ - NCT07047469Recruiting
Ultrasound-guided spinal anesthesia in orthopedic surgery
This study compares two ways of giving spinal anesthesia (midline vs. paramedian) using ultrasound guidance in adults having orthopedic surgery. The goal is to see which approach is safer and more effective.
SohagAges 18–50 - NCT07198412Recruiting
Study on sedation's effect on back pain after spinal anesthesia
This study looks at whether giving sedation (medicine to help you relax) during spinal anesthesia can reduce back pain after surgery. It's for people having certain types of surgery on their lower abdomen or legs.
Banhā, Qalyubia GovernorateAges 18–65 - NCT07411313Recruiting
Ultrasound to predict low blood pressure in older adults having spinal anesthesia
This trial uses ultrasound to check your internal jugular vein, which may help predict if your blood pressure will drop during spinal anesthesia. It aims to find better ways to keep you safe during surgery.
Ankara, YENİMAHALLEAges 65 years+ - NCT06425627Recruiting
Spinal vs general anesthesia for hip fracture surgery in older adults
This study compares two types of anesthesia—spinal (awake, lower body numb) versus general (completely asleep)—for people 65 and older having hip fracture surgery. The goal is to see which is better for preventing lung complications after surgery.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 65 years+ - NCT07643415Recruiting
Spinal vs. General Anesthesia for Prostate Surgery
This study compares two types of anesthesia—spinal (numbing the lower body) versus general (putting you to sleep)—for men having prostate surgery to treat benign enlargement. The goal is to see which approach works better and is safer for this procedure.

Comparing Anesthesia Types for Kidney Transplants
This study compares two types of anesthesia (general gas anesthesia vs. a spinal-plus-epidural method) during living-donor kidney transplants to see how they affect certain body signals related to cell health and aging. If you are having a kidney transplant from a living donor and are in good overall health, this trial could help doctors learn which anesthesia may be better for you.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for spinal anesthesia?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 80 recruiting spinal anesthesia 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 spinal anesthesia 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 spinal anesthesia 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.
