Annual follow-up after surgery for implant gum disease
This trial follows people who had surgery for gum inflammation around a dental implant and checks their results over the long term. It may help by improving how clinicians monitor healing and prevent implant problems after surgery.
ViennaAges 18–130 - NCT05343182Recruiting
Compare two surgical techniques for vestibular pain
This study compares two different surgery techniques for people with long-lasting, touch-triggered pain at the vaginal entrance (“vestibule”). You might be offered one of the surgical approaches and you’ll complete pain testing and follow-up measurements to see which technique works best.
Portland, OregonAges 18–80 - NCT05357170Recruiting
Testing gut bacteria changes after severe ICU illnesses
This study looks at changes in the microbiome (gut bacteria) in adults after serious ICU illnesses like sepsis, major trauma, or open heart/abdominal surgery. It may help researchers understand why recovery can be harder in some people and guide future treatments.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18–110 - NCT05360186Recruiting
Gel test to prevent womb scar tissue after uterine procedure
This study tests a cross-linked hyaluronan gel placed in the uterus to help prevent painful or disruptive scar tissue (adhesions) after a procedure using ultrasound guidance. If you are eligible, the trial may help reduce the chance of future fertility and menstrual problems caused by scar tissue.
Hong KongAges 18–50 - NCT05364879Recruiting
Exercise before ovarian cancer surgery
This trial tests whether supervised exercise (before surgery) can help people with advanced ovarian cancer get ready for treatment. It’s meant to improve readiness and safety during the time leading up to surgery.
Halifax, Nova ScotiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05372718RecruitingPhase 3
Clot-busting drug versus surgery for sudden blocked leg arteries
This trial compares a clot-busting medicine (staphylokinase) against surgery in people with sudden, dangerous reduced blood flow to a leg. It may help find a safer or more effective way to restore circulation and prevent limb complications.
Kursk, Kursl RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT05374681Recruiting
Test a minimally invasive add-on treatment for brain vessel swelling
This trial studies whether an add-on, minimally invasive procedure works better than standard care for a specific brain blood-vessel problem (CSH) that is larger than 10 mm. It may help reduce symptoms or prevent worsening, if you meet the size and location requirements.
Amiens, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT05378139Recruiting
At-home and hospital wireless monitoring for worsening health
This trial tests a system that continuously checks vital signs (like heart rate and breathing) using wireless sensors and sends automatic alerts if you seem to be getting worse. It may help clinicians spot problems sooner whether you’re being monitored at home or around a major surgery hospital stay.
Copenhagen, CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT05382962Recruiting
Using an app to help teens cope with post-surgery pain
This trial tests whether a phone app (iCanCope) can help teens better manage pain after surgery for scoliosis or certain chest conditions (pectus carinatum/excavatum). If you’re having one of these surgeries soon, the app may help with coping and day-to-day comfort after the operation.
