Recruiting studies
- 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+ - NCT05321134Recruiting
Testing single-port robot surgery for colorectal conditions
This study checks how well a newer single-opening (single-port) robot works for colorectal surgery. It may help surgeons perform operations with the robotic system in carefully selected colorectal conditions.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06513598Recruiting
Finding infection signs after abdominal cancer surgery
This study looks for ways to better predict and catch infections after major abdominal cancer surgery. If you are having surgery for certain cancers (esophagus, stomach, pancreas, liver, bile ducts, colon, or rectum), the researchers will check your blood and other samples for early signs of infection so they can start treatment sooner.
VilniusAges 18 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+ - NCT06893614Recruiting
Facial mesh study for jaw surgery patients
This trial uses computer scans to create facial shape meshes for patients who had jaw surgery to correct an underbite. It aims to improve planning for future surgeries.
Cairo, AbbassiaAges 18–50 - NCT06952907Recruiting
Arm vs. leg artery pressure monitoring in heart surgery
This study compares measuring blood pressure through an arm artery (radial) versus a leg artery (femoral) during heart surgery that uses a heart-lung machine. The goal is to see which method works better and is safer for patients.
BesançonAges 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+ - NCT07148895Enrolling by invitation
Drain vs No Drain After Kids' Sistrunk Surgery
This study checks whether it's better to use a drain or not after Sistrunk surgery in children. The goal is to see if skipping a drain reduces complications and improves recovery.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 3–17 - NCT06856707Enrolling by invitation
MIRA surgical system registry study
This study tracks outcomes for people having surgery with the MIRA Surgical System, a robotic tool. Joining helps doctors learn how well the system works and if it is safe.
Lincoln, NebraskaAges Any age - 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
This study is testing whether the CERAMENT G bone filler can help treat chronic bone infections (osteomyelitis) when doctors remove the infected bone in a single surgery. It is for people who have had symptoms for at least six months and need the bone gap filled after surgery.
OxfordAges 18 years+ - NCT07049848RecruitingPhase 2
Study of atezolizumab with chemo and radiation for high-risk sarcoma
This trial tests a combination of immunotherapy (atezolizumab), chemotherapy (doxorubicin), and radiation before and after surgery for people with high-risk soft tissue sarcoma in the arm, leg, or trunk. The goal is to see if this approach can improve outcomes.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06879912Recruiting
Study of force feedback tools in robot-assisted surgery
This trial tests new force feedback instruments in the da Vinci 5 robot during surgery. It aims to see if they help surgeons perform procedures more precisely for conditions like cancer or other diseases.
Miami, FloridaAges 22 years+ - NCT06576570Enrolling by invitation
Improving surgeon ergonomics with AI analytics
This trial uses AI to analyze surgeon posture and movements during acute care surgeries, with the goal of improving ergonomics and reducing physical strain. It may help identify better surgical practices for both surgeons and patients.
