Recruiting studies
- NCT07571473Recruiting
Monitoring stress during abdominal hysterectomy surgery
This study tests a new monitoring system called CoreSys that tracks your body's stress response during abdominal hysterectomy (surgical removal of the uterus). The goal is to help doctors better manage pain and stress during your operation.
Rosario, Santa Fe ProvinceAges 18–70 - NCT07464860Recruiting
Breathwork for older adults after knee surgery
This study tests a breathing exercise program to help older adults recover after knee replacement surgery. Participants practice controlled breathing at home using a smartphone or computer.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 65 years+ - NCT07600580RecruitingPhase 4
Nerve blocks for thyroid surgery to reduce stress response
This study tests whether a special numbing technique (nerve block) given during thyroid removal surgery can reduce your body's stress response and help you recover better. Researchers will measure how well this approach works compared to standard care.
Zagreb, City of ZagrebAges 18 years+ - NCT06480539RecruitingPhase 4
Dexmedetomidine for Better Sleep After Lung Surgery in Older Adults
This study tests whether giving a medicine called dexmedetomidine at night can help older adults sleep better and feel less tired after lung surgery. If you are 60 or older and having lung surgery through small cuts (thoracoscopy), you may be able to join.
Genk, LimburgAges 60 years+ - NCT07058324Recruiting
Can chicory root prebiotic improve mood and stress?
This trial tests whether a prebiotic from chicory root can help healthy adults with mild to moderate stress and anxiety feel calmer and handle stress better. You'll take the prebiotic or a placebo for a period and complete mood and stress tests.
Trier, Rhineland-PalatinateAges 18–70 - NCT05172739RecruitingPhase 4
Opioid-free anesthesia during lung surgery for early lung cancer
This study tests whether an opioid-free pain/anesthesia plan during elective lung surgery can reduce surgical “stress” on the body and affect the immune system. You may be eligible if you have early-stage non-small cell lung cancer and are scheduled for a specific type of surgery (VATS lobectomy).
Heraklion, CreteAges 18–80 - NCT07573930Recruiting
Blood sugar control during surgery with a common steroid
This study looks at how a steroid medication (dexamethasone) affects blood sugar levels during and after surgery. Researchers will use a continuous glucose monitor to track your blood sugar safely and understand how to better manage it in the operating room.
RoskildeAges 18 years+ - NCT05518643Recruiting
Testing a stress-reducing recovery plan for pancreatic surgery patients
This trial tests how well a structured hospital recovery plan (called ERAS) works for people having pancreatic surgery. It looks at stress and recovery outcomes to see if patients may do better with this approach.
LarissaAges 18 years+ - NCT07568938Recruiting
Anesthesia types and stress response in weight-loss surgery
This study compares two anesthesia methods—inhaled gas (desflurane) versus IV medication (TIVA)—during weight-loss surgery to see how each affects your body's stress response and recovery. The goal is to understand which approach may be safer and more comfortable for patients having bariatric surgery.
AthensAges 18–65 - NCT05915013RecruitingPhase 1
Brain-targeting study of ketamine response in treatment-resistant depression
This early-stage study looks at how parts of brain cells respond to ketamine in people with depression who have not improved with usual antidepressants. It may help researchers find why ketamine works for some people and not others, and who might benefit.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18–60 - NCT06924450Recruiting
Modified mesh for stress incontinence surgery
This trial tests whether a modified mesh improves success rates in a common sling surgery for stress urinary incontinence. It is for women who have not improved with non-surgical treatments and are already planning to have this procedure.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for surgical stress response?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 11 recruiting surgical stress response 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 stress response 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 stress response 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.
