Recruiting studies
- NCT06729294Recruiting
Does music help during knee replacement surgery?

Using vein size to predict blood pressure drops in older adults during hip or leg surgery
This study uses an ultrasound to measure the size of a vein in your leg before surgery to see if it can predict a drop in blood pressure during the procedure. If you are over 60 and having planned lower-limb surgery with spinal anesthesia, this non-invasive test might help your doctors prepare for your care.
CairoAges 60 years+ - NCT06927830Recruiting

Dexamethasone or magnesium for pain relief after C-section
This trial tests adding dexamethasone or magnesium sulfate to the numbing medicine given as a back injection (erector spinae plane block) to see if it provides better pain relief after a planned C-section. The goal is to reduce pain and the need for extra painkillers after surgery.
CairoAges 18–35 - NCT07276867Recruiting
Spinal Add-On Medicine for Leg Amputation from Sarcoma
This trial tests adding two medicines (dexmedetomidine and fentanyl) versus fentanyl alone to the standard spinal anesthetic for above-knee amputation surgery for lower limb sarcoma. The goal is to see if the combination provides better pain control during and after surgery.
CairoAges 18–60 - NCT03715517Recruiting
Spinal anesthesia to improve recovery after liver surgery
This trial studies whether using spinal/epidural anesthesia during liver tumor removal surgery can help people recover better and with less pain. It compares this approach to standard general anesthesia care to see if recovery is smoother.
Winnipeg, ManitobaAges 18 years+ - NCT06821516Recruiting
Comparing two nerve blocks for hip replacement pain
This study compares two different nerve block techniques to manage pain after a total hip replacement. The goal is to find out which method provides better pain relief and recovery.
Istanbul, Türki̇yeAges 18 years+ - NCT07057362Recruiting
Vitamin D and blood pressure during C-section under spinal anesthesia
This trial checks if low vitamin D levels can make a drop in blood pressure more likely or severe during a C-section with spinal anesthesia. It may help find ways to better monitor or prevent blood pressure problems during surgery.
Düzce, MerkezAges 18–40 - NCT07481851Recruiting
Can skin sensor predict blood pressure drop during spinal anesthesia?
This study tests whether a simple skin sensor can predict a dangerous drop in blood pressure during spinal anesthesia for older adults having urologic cancer surgery. If it works, doctors could take steps to prevent dizziness or fainting.
Ankara, YenimahalleAges 65 years+ - NCT07104097Recruiting
Two nerve block methods for hip replacement surgery
This study compares two numbing techniques for the lower back (lumbar region) to see which provides better pain control after a total hip replacement. If you qualify, you would receive one of these nerve blocks along with standard anesthesia.
BergamoAges 18 years+ - NCT07752303Enrolling by invitation
Comparing two anaesthesia methods for weak hearts
This study compares two types of anaesthesia for people with a weakened heart (ejection fraction between 35-40%) who need planned lower-limb surgery. It looks at how each method affects blood pressure and heart function during and after the procedure.
SargodhaAges 18–70 - NCT05233462Recruiting
Compare two spinal anesthesia bupivacaine dose methods for C-sections
This trial looks at whether adjusting the dose of bupivacaine by height works better than using a standard dose for spinal anesthesia during planned C-sections. It may help improve safety and comfort by aiming for the right level of numbing effect.
CaenAges 18–45 - NCT06930456Enrolling by invitation
Comparing two drugs to prevent low blood pressure during spinal anesthesia
This study tests if giving hydrocortisone (a type of steroid) or ondansetron (an anti-nausea drug) before spinal anesthesia can better prevent low blood pressure during surgery for your belly or lower leg.
Port Said, Port Said GovernorateAges 21 years+ - NCT07210892Recruiting
Spinal anesthesia needle angles study
This study looks at the best angle for inserting the needle during spinal anesthesia. It may help doctors find a more comfortable and effective way to give the numbing medicine.
BarcelonaAges Any age - NCT06710522Enrolling by invitation
Comparing Stress and Antioxidant Levels in Two Types of Anesthesia for Tubal Ligation
This study compares stress hormones and body chemicals in women who get either spinal anesthesia (numbing the lower body) or general anesthesia (fully asleep) during a laparoscopic tubal ligation. The goal is to see which method causes less stress on the body.
AnkaraAges 18–45 - NCT07497295Recruiting
Ultrasound to predict blood pressure drop during prostate surgery
This study uses ultrasound to measure how much the veins in your leg and belly collapse when you breathe, to see if this can predict a drop in blood pressure during spinal anesthesia for prostate surgery. If you are eligible, you may help doctors better manage your blood pressure during surgery.
Antalya, MuratpasaAges 18–75 - NCT06533488Recruiting
Spinal Ultrasound Learning Module for Anesthesia Residents
This study tests a new online training module to help anesthesia residents learn how to do spinal ultrasound. If you are a junior resident with little experience in spinal ultrasound, this training could boost your skills.
Montreal, QuebecAges Any age - NCT07499947Recruiting
Predicting low blood pressure during C-section
This trial looks at whether we can predict which pregnant women will have a sudden drop in blood pressure during a cesarean section. If you're a healthy pregnant woman with a full-term single baby, this study could help improve safety.
KayseriAges 1.5 years–3.8 years - NCT07500519Recruiting
Shock Indexes and Low Blood Pressure After Spinal for Cesarean
This study looks at whether certain simple measurements (called shock indexes) taken before your cesarean delivery can help predict if you might have a drop in blood pressure after you get spinal anesthesia. The goal is to help doctors take better care of moms like you during the surgery.
