Oklahoma City, OklahomaAges 18–65 - NCT04219956Recruiting
Low-sugar diet aims to reduce belly-surgery pain
This study tests whether a special diet low in polyamines (a food-related substance) can reduce pain after major abdominal surgery. It compares pain control while you use a patient-controlled morphine pump or take opioid tablets by mouth after surgery.
BrestAges 18 years+ - NCT03438474Recruiting
Lymph node surgery study for certain early endometrial cancers

StockholmAges 18 years+ - NCT06164444Recruiting
Reusable vs disposable drapes and gowns for surgery
This trial compares reusable and single-use surgical drapes and gowns to see which is better for the environment. It includes people having certain types of surgery with at least one incision larger than 5 cm (or 3 cm for children under 16).
GuadalajaraAges 10 years+ - NCT05920382Recruiting
Radiofrequency treatment for long-term knee pain after knee surgery
This trial studies whether a radiofrequency procedure can reduce chronic knee pain after knee replacement surgery. It may help people who still have bothersome pain between 6 months and 5 years after their operation, as long as their pain pattern and medications are stable.
Barcelona, CataloniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07822269Recruiting
Magnifying tools for deep teeth cleaning
This study compares two types of magnifying tools used during deep cleaning of teeth and gums. It aims to see if one tool is better at removing plaque and tartar, which may help treat gum disease.
AnkaraAges 18 years+ - NCT07148895Enrolling by invitation
Drain vs No Drain After Kids' Sistrunk Surgery

Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 3–17 - NCT04515459RecruitingPhase 2
Pre-surgery exercise and care program for limb sarcoma
This Phase 2 trial tests a “prehabilitation” program done before surgery to help people with arm or leg (limb) sarcoma be better prepared for their operation. It may help improve how well patients tolerate treatment and recover by planning supportive care around the weeks before surgery.
ToulouseAges 16 years+ - NCT06555848Recruiting
Testing a new antibiotic bone filler for chronic bone infection surgery
