Crown removal for treating gum disease around dental implants
This trial tests whether removing the crown from a dental implant before cleaning helps treat infection and inflammation around the implant. It may help patients with a condition called peri-implantitis, which is like gum disease but around an implant.
Chieti, ChietiAges 18 years+ - NCT07639788Enrolling by invitation
Does classical music help with robotic surgery training?
This study tests whether listening to classical music while practicing robotic surgery on a simulator helps you perform better. Researchers will compare your performance with and without music to see if it makes a difference in your skills.
Vienna, State of ViennaAges 18–65 - NCT07138105Enrolling by invitation

This trial tests a laparoscopic surgical system for gynecological and remote surgeries. It may help patients who need minimally invasive surgery and can follow the study plan.
Nantong, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT06647017Recruiting
Nerve stimulation to reduce blood loss during dialysis graft placement
This trial tests whether a gentle nerve stimulation device placed behind the ear can lower blood loss during surgery to place a dialysis graft (a tube for dialysis treatment). It may help make the procedure safer.
Watkinsville, GeorgiaAges 18–75 - NCT06457971Recruiting
Anovo robot for ventral hernia repair
This trial tests a new robotic system called Anovo for repairing ventral hernias. It aims to see if the device is safe and works well for this type of surgery.
BonheidenAges 18 years+ - NCT06329102Recruiting
Right colon cancer surgery and specimen quality study
This trial is studying how the type and method of surgery for right-sided colon cancer affects the quality of the removed tissue. It aims to improve surgical techniques for this type of cancer.
BergenAges 18–99 - NCT05378841Recruiting
Surgery to reduce pain in finger osteoarthritis

KampalaAges 18 years+ - NCT05077124Recruiting
CytoSorb safety registry for clot-fighting medicine removal
This registry collects information on people who use CytoSorb to remove clot-fighting medicines from the blood. It’s mainly meant to track safety and how quickly the removal works, which may help improve care for future patients.
GrazAges 18 years+ - NCT05310461Recruiting
Early or delayed valve surgery for mixed heart valve disease
This study compares doing aortic valve replacement sooner versus waiting, in people with moderate aortic valve narrowing plus at least moderate leakage in the mitral valve. It aims to see which timing improves heart symptoms and outcomes while keeping treatment safe.
BernAges 18 years+ - NCT01668082Recruiting
Study brain tumor metabolism during planned brain surgery
This study looks at how brain tumors use energy (“metabolism”) during planned surgical removal. It may help researchers learn what makes tumors grow and how to improve future brain tumor treatments.

- 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.
