Recovery Outcomes After Temporary Midline Stoma Surgery
This study tracks how well patients recover after temporary stoma surgery (a surgically created opening for waste drainage) placed through a midline incision. Researchers want to understand healing, complication rates, and quality of life to improve surgical outcomes.
Asyut, Asyut GovernorateAges 18 years+ - NCT06979102Enrolling by invitation

IstanbulAges 18–65 - NCT06517407Recruiting
Comparing two stoma placement methods to reduce complications
This trial is comparing two ways to place a stoma (a new opening for waste) during abdominal surgery, to see which method leads to fewer problems like leaking or skin issues.
AsyutAges Any age - NCT07719309Recruiting
Skin health study for people with a stoma
This study looks at the skin around and away from your stoma to understand what makes healthy skin. It may help improve future stoma care products.
BirminghamAges 18 years+ - NCT07464548Recruiting
Stoma education effects on new ostomy patients
This study tests whether extra education about stoma care helps people who have had colostomy or ileostomy surgery recover more smoothly and manage their ostomy with confidence.
Tunceli, City CenterAges 18–90 - NCT07463261Recruiting
Rectal cancer surgery: with or without a temporary stoma
This trial compares two ways of doing rectal cancer surgery: one with a temporary stoma (a bag on the belly) and one without. It aims to see if a stoma helps prevent complications after the bowel is reconnected.
MoscowAges 18–70 - NCT07138326Recruiting
Medication absorption in people with an ostomy
This trial looks at how well your body absorbs certain medications if you have an ileostomy or colostomy. It aims to help doctors better understand dosing for people with ostomies.
Vienna, State of ViennaAges 18 years+ - NCT06917963Recruiting
Preventing high stoma output with omeprazole
This trial tests if a stronger dose of omeprazole can help prevent high fluid output from a new ileostomy (a surgically created opening in the belly that passes waste). If you are scheduled for surgery to create an ileostomy, you may be able to join.
Gdansk, Pomeranian VoivodeshipAges 18 years+ - NCT04604730Recruiting
Testing a protective stoma after bowel reconnection for infection
This study looks at whether creating a temporary “protective stoma” (an opening that diverts stool) after reconnecting the bowel can reduce complications for people with severe abdominal infection from a perforated diverticulitis. It’s for adults who had surgery to reconnect their colon right away.
Beauvais, BeauvaisAges 18 years+ - NCT02669992Recruiting
Compare closure methods for a loop ileostomy after rectal cancer
This trial studies which technique works best to close a loop ileostomy after rectal cancer surgery. It compares different closure methods to see which is safer and more effective for patients.
GothenburgAges Any age - NCT07605611Recruiting
Somatostatin and Diet vs. Stoma After Rectal Cancer Surgery
This trial tests whether using a medication called somatostatin plus a clear liquid diet can safely prevent serious complications after surgery to remove rectal cancer, without needing a temporary opening in the abdomen (stoma). You'll be randomly assigned to receive either somatostatin with diet changes or a stoma, depending on your individual risk factors.
Ezhou, HubeiAges 18–75 - NCT06287671Recruiting
Colorectal Surgery Tissue Study for Better Understanding of Disease
This study is collecting tissue samples from people having surgery on their colon or rectum to better understand colorectal diseases. It may help researchers learn more about conditions like cancer, polyps, or inflammatory bowel disease.
HillerødAges 18 years+ - NCT07369531Recruiting
Stoma-free survival after new anal-sparing surgery for low rectal cancer
This study compares a two-stage surgical technique (Turnbull-Cutait pull-through) to standard surgery for people with low rectal cancer. The goal is to see which approach helps more patients avoid a permanent stoma (bag) after surgery.
Changchun, JilinAges 18–75 - NCT07206836Recruiting
Enhanced recovery after colostomy reversal in children
This trial compares two ways to care for children after colostomy reversal surgery: standard care or an enhanced recovery program designed to speed up healing.
Faisalābad, Punjab ProvinceAges 2–13 - NCT06214988Recruiting
Temporary stoma or not for rectal cancer surgery
This trial tests whether a temporary stoma (a bag on the belly) can be safely avoided in some people having rectal cancer surgery. The goal is to see if it's okay to skip the stoma in those with a low risk of complications.
MalmöAges 18 years+ - NCT06824623Recruiting
Preventing dehydration after ileostomy surgery
This trial tests a program to help patients with a new ileostomy avoid dehydration and hospital readmission by providing extra support and education.
Legnano, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT06650085Recruiting
Comparing temporary stoma types after rectal cancer surgery
This trial compares two types of temporary stomas (a bag on the belly to collect stool) after rectal cancer surgery. It aims to see which type—ileostomy (small intestine) or colostomy (large intestine)—works better for patients.
HelsinkiAges 18 years+ - NCT06554015Recruiting
Long-term study of Heylo™ for people with a stoma
This study follows people who use the Heylo™ device for their stoma (a surgically opening on the belly). It aims to see how well the device works and how it affects daily life.
HumlebækAges 18 years+ - NCT05826743Recruiting
Check a new alternative to ileostomy after bowel surgery
This trial tests whether a device called COLO-BT can be a safer, effective alternative to an ileostomy (a temporary or longer-term opening from the intestine to the skin). It’s for certain adults having a bowel connection low in the pelvis, where leak risk matters.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 19–80 - NCT04450758Recruiting
Stent or stoma right away versus surgery later for bowel blockage
This trial studies treatment choices for adults with a large-bowel blockage caused by colon cancer. It compares doing an emergency procedure now (like a stent or stoma) versus bridging to a later colon surgery, to see which approach is safer and works better.
GothenburgAges 18–100 - NCT05628701Recruiting
Testing two UC surgery reconstructions after colectomy
This trial compares two ways of reconnecting the bowel after subtotal colectomy and ileostomy in people with ulcerative colitis (UC). It may help determine which surgical option works best when the rectum is calm enough to manage with topical mesalazine alone.
GothenburgAges 18–60 - NCT06194708Recruiting
Why some temporary stomas are never reversed after rectal cancer surgery
This trial looks at why some people who had a temporary stoma (a bag for waste) after rectal cancer surgery never get it reversed. It collects information from medical records to find patterns that might explain this.

Methylene blue injection to prevent leaks after rectal cancer surgery
This study tests whether injecting a blue dye into the rectum during surgery can help prevent leaks where the bowel is reconnected, and reduce the chance of needing a permanent colostomy bag. It is for people with mid or low rectal cancer who are having a specific type of surgery.

- How do I know if I qualify for a stoma 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 stoma 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.
