Recruiting studies
- NCT07611318Enrolling by invitation
Imaging study comparing wound infection detection methods
This study tests a new imaging device that uses fluorescence (special light) to detect bacteria and infection in wounds. Researchers will compare it to a standard method by taking small tissue samples. If you have a wound that's healing slowly, this might help doctors better understand and treat it.

Study of surgery for blocked carotid arteries
This trial looks at how well surgery and diagnostic tests work for people with a blocked carotid artery (the main artery in the neck that supplies blood to the brain). It may help if you have reduced blood flow to part of your brain and are able to understand instructions and communicate.
AstanaAges 18 years+ - NCT07395505Enrolling by invitation
Surgery for advanced rectal or anal cancer
This trial studies the results of a major surgery called pelvic exenteration for patients with advanced rectal or anal cancer that has spread to nearby tissues or bones but not to distant organs. The goal is to see how well the surgery works and how patients recover afterward.
TaoyuanAges 20 years+ - NCT07378397Enrolling by invitation
MEG brain mapping for epilepsy surgery in children
This study uses a safe brain scan (MEG) to help doctors plan epilepsy surgery for children. It aims to make surgery safer and more precise by mapping key brain areas beforehand.
Birmingham, United KingdomAges 6–15 - NCT07367737Enrolling by invitation
Comparing histatin-1 levels in smokers and non-smokers with gum disease
This study looks at a protein called histatin-1 in your saliva to see how it changes with gum disease treatment. Researchers want to compare levels between smokers and non-smokers before and after deep cleaning (a non-surgical treatment for periodontitis). It may help understand how smoking affects gum healing.
Baghdad, Medical CityAges Any age - NCT07311889Enrolling by invitation
Patient satisfaction with ELIXIR MD during plastic surgery recovery
This study looks at how satisfied patients are with their recovery after plastic surgery when the ELIXIR MD device is used. It aims to understand if this device helps improve the recovery experience.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07290764Enrolling by invitation
Surgery vs observation for liver cancer that responded to drug therapy
This trial looks at whether people with an initially untreatable liver cancer that has shrunk or disappeared after drug therapy should have surgery or just continue monitoring. It aims to see which approach helps people live longer.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–75 - NCT07289568Enrolling by invitation
Comparing surgery types for splenic flexure cancer
This study looks at two types of surgery for cancer in a part of the colon called the splenic flexure. It compares removing just the affected section (segmental colectomy) with removing a larger portion (extended hemicolectomy) to see which has better outcomes.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 18–80 - NCT07169357Enrolling by invitationEarly Phase 1
Light therapy and gel for gum healing after surgery
This trial tests whether a special light treatment (photobiomodulation therapy) combined with a hyaluronic acid gel can help your gums heal better after a gum reduction procedure. It may be a good option if you have swollen gums from long-term inflammation and are looking for a way to improve healing.
BeirutAges 18–40 - NCT07155616Enrolling by invitation
Blood flow measurement from CT scan before Whipple surgery
This study uses a computer tool to measure blood flow in the arteries from your CT scan before a Whipple procedure. It may help doctors better plan your surgery.

This study looks at people who have heart surgery to treat a serious heart infection called infective endocarditis. It helps doctors learn more about how these surgeries work and what affects recovery.
Trieste, TRIESTEAges 18 years+ - NCT07107555Enrolling by invitation
Study of severe tissue infections
This trial studies a rare but serious infection called necrotizing soft-tissue infection (NSTI), which destroys tissue quickly. It looks at how patients are treated in hospitals across Europe to improve care.
BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07100483Enrolling by invitation
