Robotic-assisted vs CT-guided lung biopsy comparison
This study compares two ways to biopsy small lung nodules: a robot-assisted scope through the airways or a needle guided by CT scan. If you have a small lung nodule (2 cm or less) that needs testing, participation may help determine which approach is better.
HeidelbergAges 18 years+ - NCT07758725Recruiting
Jaw repositioning surgery and joint remodeling
This study looks at how the way your lower jaw is repositioned during corrective jaw surgery affects the natural reshaping of the jaw joint over time. The goal is to help improve long-term joint health and stability after surgery.
Istanbul, FatihAges 18–65 - NCT07763808RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for surgical?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,180 recruiting surgical 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 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 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.
