Pig-based wound dressing study for skin graft donor sites
This study tests how well a pig-based covering dressing works on skin graft donor-site wounds (where skin is taken to make a graft). It may help support faster, safer healing after a split-thickness skin graft.
Manchester, EnglandAges 16 years+ - NCT06738004Recruiting
Emergency bariatric surgery national audit
This trial is collecting information about people who have emergency complications after weight loss (bariatric) surgery. It aims to understand how these emergencies are managed and how care can be improved.
LutonAges 18 years+ - NCT07557108Recruiting
Nerve Blocks to Improve Recovery After Heart Surgery
This study tests whether special numbing injections around nerves in the chest wall (fascial plane blocks) help patients recover better and have less pain after open-heart surgery. The goal is to see if this technique improves how you feel and function in the days after your operation.
Ordu, AltinorduAges 18–70 - NCT07553169Enrolling by invitation
Mindfulness Training for Surgical Nurses
This study tests whether a mindfulness training program helps surgical nurses manage stress and improve well-being at work. If you're a surgical nurse interested in learning mindfulness techniques, this trial may help you develop skills to stay calm and focused during challenging shifts.

Life after scoliosis surgery: long-term outcomes study
This research follows adults who had spine-straightening surgery (called fusion) for adolescent scoliosis in their teens. Researchers want to understand how surgery affects your daily life, physical function, and quality of life 10–25 years later.
Warsaw, Masovian VoivodeshipAges 25–40 - NCT06741696Recruiting
Saline rinsing after wisdom tooth removal
This trial tests whether using saline (salt water) at different temperatures after wisdom tooth surgery helps with healing and pain. It could help you recover more comfortably.
Rawalpindi, Punjab ProvinceAges Up to 59 years - NCT07547241Recruiting
Comparing two surgical methods for ingrown toenail treatment
This trial compares two different surgical techniques (Winograd and Sleeve methods) to treat ingrown toenails—a painful condition where the nail grows into the skin. The study aims to determine which method works better and causes fewer problems.
IslamabadAges 12–75 - NCT07549399RecruitingPhase 3
Radiation, Chemotherapy, and Immunotherapy for Rectal Cancer
This trial tests a combination of radiation, chemotherapy, and immunotherapy drugs before surgery for people with locally advanced rectal cancer. The goal is to shrink the tumor and improve outcomes for patients with higher-risk disease.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07550114Recruiting
Nerve blocks to reduce bleeding and pain after spine surgery
This study compares two types of nerve blocks (numbing injections) given during lumbar spine fusion surgery to see which better reduces bleeding and pain after the operation. If you're having spine surgery, this trial might help your recovery be smoother with less pain and bleeding.
Barcelona, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07550127Recruiting
Comparing surgery and aftercare for infected dental implants
This study tests two ways of managing an infection around dental implants (called peri-implantitis) that is severe enough to need surgery. It compares surgery alone to surgery plus a special maintenance cleaning to see which gives better long-term results. If you are eligible, you would receive treatment for the infection and be followed for 3 months.

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.
