Heat and moisture during lung surgery: a study
This study looks at whether a special device that adds heat and moisture to the air you breathe during surgery can help people who have lung surgery through small incisions (VATS). If you are having planned lung surgery that requires one-lung ventilation, you may be able to join.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 18–75 - NCT07571473Recruiting

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 - NCT07220733RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Exoskeleton rehab after chest surgery in the ICU
This trial tests whether a self-balancing exoskeleton can help people who had chest surgery and are weak (bedbound or nearly so) start walking earlier in the ICU. It aims to see if it is safe and possible to use this device for rehabilitation.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06576583RecruitingPhase 2
Cartilage graft for kneecap arthritis
This trial tests a new graft made from lab-grown cartilage to treat knee pain under the kneecap. It compares the graft to standard surgery for people with moderate-to-severe kneecap arthritis who haven't improved with other treatments.
ViennaAges 18–70 - NCT07248280RecruitingPhase 3
Preventing nausea and vomiting after surgery in high-risk patients
This trial tests if adding the drug Aprepitant to standard care helps prevent nausea and vomiting after surgery in people who are at high risk for these side effects. It might offer better relief for patients undergoing same-day surgery.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT04133077Recruiting
Biobank study using tumor tissue to grow patient tumor models
This study takes small samples of your breast tumor tissue after (or during) treatment and grows them in lab animals to better study breast cancer. It may help researchers test future ideas for treating aggressive breast cancer types like triple-negative or Luminal B.
Clermont-Ferrand, Puy-de-DômeAges 18 years+ - NCT07722390Recruiting
Injection treatment for deep gum pockets
This study tests whether injecting a special substance made from your own blood can help treat deep gum pockets without surgery. It may be an option for people with advanced gum disease who have already had initial cleaning.

Abortion at 14-16 Weeks: Bleeding Risk in Medicine vs. Surgery
This trial compares bleeding risks between surgical and medical abortion procedures when you are 14 to 16 weeks pregnant. It helps doctors understand which method might be safer for you.
StrasbourgAges 18–40 - NCT07331129Recruiting
Nerve block for pain relief in groin lymph node surgery
This trial tests a special ultrasound-guided nerve block to reduce pain during and after groin lymph node removal. It may help patients undergoing this type of cancer surgery have less pain and use fewer painkillers.
CairoAges 18–65 - NCT07032194Recruiting
Robotic Surgery Study Using the Da Vinci SP System
This study is testing a new robotic surgery system called da Vinci SP for urologic (urinary tract and male reproductive) surgeries. It aims to see how well it works for conditions like prostate, kidney, and bladder problems.

Trial to see ureters during abdominal or pelvic surgery
This trial tests a dye called Nizaracianine Triflutate that helps surgeons see the ureters (tubes from kidneys to bladder) during surgery. It aims to make surgery safer by reducing the risk of accidentally injuring the ureters.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07139951Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Heated Chemotherapy for Stomach Cancer at High Risk of Recurrence
This trial tests a special type of chemotherapy that is heated and delivered directly into the belly during surgery (called HIPEC). It uses two drugs, cisplatin and paclitaxel, and is for people with stomach cancer who are at high risk of the cancer returning in the lining of the belly.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for surgical?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,193 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.
