Testing best surgery for certain belly wall hernias
This study focuses on improving surgical treatment for belly wall hernias that develop after surgery (postoperative ventral hernias) in the middle or side areas. To see if you fit, the hernia size is checked with a CT scan.
SamaraAges 25–88 - NCT07524998Recruiting
Surgery outcomes for complex heart defects across ages
This study tracks how children and adults with complex heart defects fare after surgery. Researchers want to understand what surgical techniques work best at different ages and how patients recover long-term.
BeijingAges Any age - NCT07521943Recruiting
Hand Bone Fracture Treatment Study
This study tests the best way to treat certain broken bones in your hand (specifically in the middle section of bones that support your fingers). Researchers want to see if a newer treatment approach helps your hand heal better and work normally again.
Stockholm, Stockholm CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT07520890Recruiting
Bleeding Risk During Oral Biopsies in Patients on Blood Thinners
This study looks at whether patients taking certain blood-thinning medications (DOACs) have more bleeding during oral biopsies—small tissue samples taken from the mouth. Understanding this helps doctors know how to safely care for patients on these medications.
Pisa, PiAges 18 years+ - NCT07522931Recruiting
Study of female pelvic anatomy in donated bodies
This study examines the detailed anatomy of the female pelvic region using donated bodies. It aims to better understand these structures for medical education and surgical training.
Barcelona, BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07519733Recruiting
Exercise Testing Before High-Risk Surgery
This study tests whether a simple exercise test before surgery can help doctors better predict and prevent complications in older adults undergoing major operations. You'll do a gentle exercise test on a stationary bike or treadmill to measure your fitness level.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 45 years+ - NCT07524062Recruiting
Thermal Imaging to Predict Surgical Wound Healing
This study uses thermal imaging (a camera that detects heat patterns on skin) to predict how well skin wounds will heal after surgery to remove suspicious or cancerous skin lesions. The goal is to identify which patients might have healing problems early so doctors can provide extra care.
Leuven, Vlaams BrabantAges 18 years+ - NCT06758284Recruiting
Laughter yoga for fear and anxiety before ureteroscopy
This study tests whether a special type of yoga that focuses on laughter can help reduce fear and anxiety before a ureteroscopy procedure. It may be a way to feel calmer without using medicine.
Samsun, SamsunAges 18 years+ - NCT06709833Recruiting
Blood clot risk study for brain tumor patients
This study looks at blood clotting risks in people having surgery for meningioma or glioma brain tumors, and compares them to healthy volunteers. It may help doctors better understand and prevent blood clots after brain tumor surgery.
Tübingen, Baden-WurttembergAges 18 years+ - NCT06758882RecruitingPhase 2
Surgery with or without apalutamide for high-risk prostate cancer that has spread a little
This trial tests whether adding the drug apalutamide before and after surgery helps men with high-risk prostate cancer that has spread to a few spots (seen on a special PET scan). You would also receive standard hormone therapy.
Torino, ToAges 18–80 - NCT07511673Recruiting
Dental screening before heart valve surgery
This trial tests whether a dental checkup before heart valve surgery can improve recovery and prevent complications. If you are scheduled for a heart valve procedure, you may be able to join.
GothenburgAges 18 years+ - NCT07511725RecruitingPhase 2
Thiotepa spinal injection to prevent glioblastoma spread
This trial tests whether injecting a chemotherapy drug called thiotepa into the fluid around the brain and spine can prevent glioblastoma from spreading in patients whose tumor touches the fluid-filled spaces or who had a leak during surgery.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–75 - NCT07508306Recruiting
Blue dye sentinel node mapping for early ovarian cancer
This study is testing a blue dye called Patent Blue to see if it can help surgeons find sentinel lymph nodes (the first nodes cancer might spread to) during surgery for early-stage ovarian cancer. The goal is to reduce the need for more extensive lymph node removal, possibly leading to fewer side effects.
La RabtaAges 18 years+ - NCT07501897Recruiting
Cold plasma for healing cannula wounds in ECLS patients
This trial tests whether cold atmospheric plasma—a gentle, gas-based treatment—can help heal wounds where tubes enter the body for life support. It might offer a new way to care for these delicate spots.
TaipeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07506330Enrolling by invitation
Surgical environment and surgeon stress study
This study looks at how different surgical environments affect the stress levels of orthopaedic surgeons. It compares doing joint replacements the traditional way versus using a robot, to see which approach might be easier on the surgeon.
LondonAges 18–65 - NCT05009394Recruiting
Surgery options for long-term pain after limb amputation
This trial studies different surgical approaches to reduce persistent pain in the leftover part of an amputated limb. You may be able to join if your post-amputation pain has lasted more than a year and your pain level stays high despite stable pain treatments and prosthesis use.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07496632Recruiting
Scalp Numbing for Brain Surgery: Pain and Stability Study
This trial tests whether a numbing injection around the scalp (called a scalp block) can help keep your blood pressure and heart rate stable during brain surgery and reduce pain after surgery. It is for people having a planned craniotomy (surgery that opens the skull) on the upper part of the brain.
DhakaAges 18–64 - NCT07491601Recruiting
Preventing low parathyroid after thyroid surgery
