Real-time laser imaging for lung tissue during surgery
This study tests a new laser imaging device that works with artificial intelligence to quickly analyze lung tissue during surgery. The goal is to see if it can give as accurate results as the standard method, which could help surgeons make faster decisions during the operation.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–90 - NCT07686913Recruiting
Steri-Strips vs standard closure for C-section incisions

Study on better surgical guidance for head and neck cancer re-resection
This study tests a new augmented reality tool to help surgeons remove leftover tumor tissue after the first surgery. It might make re-resection more precise and improve cancer clearance.
Nashville, TennesseeAges Any age - NCT07680491Recruiting
Non-surgical treatment for gum pockets around implants
This study tests a new, non-surgical gel called H42 for treating deep gum pockets around dental implants. It's for adults with moderate pocket depths who are not on blood thinners.
SevilleAges 25–65 - NCT06342492Recruiting
Comparing two pacing methods for lead failure in heart failure
This study compares two ways to fix a failed lead in a heart failure pacemaker: placing a new lead on the outside of the heart or using the heart's own electrical system. It follows people whose CRT lead stopped working and was replaced, to see which method works best.
Overland Park, KansasAges 18 years+ - NCT06661174Recruiting
Weight loss surgery study for diabetes with kidney problems
This study tests if bariatric surgery can help people whose diabetes is quickly damaging their kidneys. It may slow down kidney disease and improve health.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT06661642Recruiting
Predicting pain after planned surgery
This study looks at whether we can predict how much pain you will feel after surgery. It aims to help doctors better manage pain after your operation.

Jaw repositioning surgery for facial deformities
This trial tests a surgical procedure to reposition the upper jaw in adults with certain jaw or facial irregularities, such as an overbite, underbite, or asymmetry. It aims to improve facial balance as an alternative to braces or other non-surgical treatments.
CairoAges 18 years+ - NCT07672015RecruitingPhase 4
Testing a new pain drug in surgery patients at risk for opioid dependence
This trial tests a new painkiller called suzetrigine for post-surgery pain. It's designed for people whose medical records suggest they may have a higher chance of needing strong painkillers (opioids) long after surgery. We want to see if suzetrigine works better at preventing that.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT07671274RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Comparing two ways to treat gum disease without surgery

Timing of lung inflation during robotic prostate surgery
This trial compares two different timings of a lung inflation maneuver during robotic prostate surgery to see which approach helps patients breathe better after surgery.
AnkaraAges 18 years+ - NCT07662733Recruiting
Acupuncture for better sleep and less pain after lung cancer surgery
This trial tests if acupuncture given before and after surgery can help patients sleep better and have less chronic pain after a lung cancer operation. You may join if you are having a specific type of lung cancer surgery, are in good general health, and do not have severe sleep problems already.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07658144Enrolling by invitation

Removing inflammatory signals during heart surgery for endocarditis
This study tests whether removing certain inflammation signals (cytokines) can help people with severe heart infection (infective endocarditis) who are having heart surgery soon. It may help reduce harmful inflammation around the time of surgery, but it also has several medication and health-condition requirements.
BernAges 18 years+ - NCT05554224Recruiting
