Comparing two pain blocks for heart surgery recovery
This trial compares two types of pain blocks (Exparel vs. Marcaine) given during heart surgery to see which one provides better pain relief. If you are scheduled for a heart surgery through a small or full chest incision, you may be able to join.
New Brunswick, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07525674Recruiting
Vacuum Sealing Drainage for Infected Surgical Wounds
This trial tests whether a special vacuum-sealed dressing (called VSD) helps heal surgical wounds that became infected after obstetric or gynecological surgery. The goal is to see if this treatment speeds healing and reduces complications.
MinyaAges 18–70 - NCT07369700Enrolling by invitation
Mobile health tool for post-C-section checkups in rural Rwanda
This study tests a mobile health tool (used with a community health worker) to improve recovery checkups after a C-section. It may help women in rural areas get better follow-up care.
Kirehe, KireheAges 14 years+ - NCT07186634RecruitingPhase 4
Surgery recovery medicine platform trial
This trial tests different medicines to improve recovery after surgery. It includes adults having surgery that lasts at least 2 hours and requires an overnight hospital stay.
Melbourne, VictoriaAges 18 years+ - NCT06731881Recruiting
Light therapy to prevent infections after sinus or nose surgery
This study tests if a special light therapy can help prevent infections after sinus or nose surgeries. The treatment is given in addition to standard care and might lower the chance of needing more antibiotics.
London, LondonAges 16 years+ - NCT05625373RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Antibiotic powder during groin surgery to prevent infection
This trial studies whether placing an antibiotic powder (vancomycin) directly in the surgical wound during groin lymph node surgery can lower the risk of surgical site infections. It may help reduce wound infections after surgery for vulvar dysplasia.
Providence, Rhode IslandAges 18 years+ - NCT07332806Recruiting
When to remove the breathing tube after robot surgery
This study looks at whether removing the breathing tube in the operating room versus the recovery room affects how quickly the operating room is ready for the next surgery. If you are having robot-assisted surgery with general anesthesia, you may be able to join.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07220733RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Exoskeleton rehab after chest surgery in the ICU
This trial tests whether a self-balancing exoskeleton can help people who had chest surgery and are weak (bedbound or nearly so) start walking earlier in the ICU. It aims to see if it is safe and possible to use this device for rehabilitation.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06554119Recruiting
Surgery for tricuspid valve leaks after prior heart surgery
This study looks at different surgeries for a leaky tricuspid valve that happened after earlier heart surgery. It may help doctors learn which approach works best for patients like you.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 16 years+ - NCT06638645Recruiting
Hospital stay after keyhole lung surgery
This study looks at how long people stay in the hospital after keyhole surgery to remove a part of the lung. It aims to find out what affects recovery time.
BrugesAges 18 years+ - NCT05216666Recruiting
Surgery type and leftover limping after hip replacement
This study looks at whether the kind of hip surgery approach affects how much limping remains after a total hip replacement. You may benefit by helping researchers find the approach that leads to better walking after surgery.
MölndalAges 40–80 - NCT06670248Recruiting
Study of blood vessel health during burn surgery
This trial looks at how a protective layer inside your blood vessels (called the glycocalyx) responds during surgery to remove burned skin. The goal is to improve care for people with major burns.
Barcelona, SpainAges 18 years+ - NCT06676345Recruiting
Heart Attack Complications Study
This study looks at people who have had a heart attack and developed a related structural problem in the heart (like a tear or valve issue). It aims to learn more about these complications to improve future care.
VareseAges 18 years+ - NCT07519733Recruiting
Exercise Testing Before High-Risk Surgery
This study tests whether a simple exercise test before surgery can help doctors better predict and prevent complications in older adults undergoing major operations. You'll do a gentle exercise test on a stationary bike or treadmill to measure your fitness level.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 45 years+ - NCT06348719Recruiting
Robot vs. standard laparoscopy for early endometrial cancer
This trial compares two types of minimally invasive surgery (robot-assisted vs. conventional laparoscopy) for removing the uterus in people with early-stage, low- to intermediate-risk endometrial cancer. The goal is to see which approach offers the best value and outcomes.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for surgical complication?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 87 recruiting surgical complication 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 surgical complication 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 surgical complication 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.
