Using biomarkers to improve surgery outcomes in Moyamoya
This study at Vanderbilt tests whether certain biomarkers (signs in your blood or brain scans) can help tailor care for people with Moyamoya, a condition where blood flow to the brain is reduced. Participants will have brain scans and complete study procedures before and after surgery to improve blood flow.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–69 - NCT06629701Enrolling by invitation
Support mesh for vein grafts in heart bypass
This study tests a new external support mesh wrapped around vein grafts used in heart bypass surgery to see if it helps them stay open longer. The trial is for people having planned bypass surgery for multiple blocked arteries with no recent blood clots or current use of certain blood thinners.
Pilsen, Czech RepublicAges 20–90 - NCT06623149Enrolling by invitation
Surgery vs. non-surgery for knee arthritis
This study compares non-surgical treatments with knee replacement surgery for people with knee osteoarthritis. It aims to find out which approach works better.
Copenhagen, CopenhagenAges Any age - NCT06597188Enrolling by invitation
TAVR vs. Surgery for severe bicuspid aortic valve stenosis
This trial compares a less invasive valve replacement (TAVR) with traditional open-heart surgery for people with a specific type of severe aortic valve narrowing (bicuspid valve). It aims to see which approach works better for those at intermediate or low surgical risk.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–75 - NCT06587152Enrolling by invitation
Robotic surgical system trial for chest and belly surgeries
This trial uses a robotic system to assist surgeons during chest and belly surgeries. It aims to see if the robot is safe and effective for procedures like hernia repair, gallbladder removal, or hysterectomy.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–80 - NCT06585215Enrolling by invitation
Standardizing stent grafts for aortic aneurysms
This trial aims to create a standard method for doctors making custom stent grafts during surgery. It focuses on safer, more consistent repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms.
Lugano, Canton TicinoAges Any age - NCT06576570Enrolling by invitation
Improving surgeon ergonomics with AI analytics
This trial uses AI to analyze surgeon posture and movements during acute care surgeries, with the goal of improving ergonomics and reducing physical strain. It may help identify better surgical practices for both surgeons and patients.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18–99 - NCT06394908Enrolling by invitation
Registry of Mini-Invasive Stone Surgery (MIUS)
This registry collects information on people being treated for kidney stones (urolithiasis) to help doctors learn which treatments work best. It includes patients of any age who have a medical reason for treatment and who allow their records to be used.
IstanbulAges Any age - NCT06394778Enrolling by invitation
Brain waves during surgery in older adults
This study looks at brain wave patterns during surgery in older adults to better understand and predict confusion after surgery. If you are 60 or older and having joint or spine surgery, you may be able to help.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 60 years+ - NCT06384183Enrolling by invitation
Real-world fish skin graft registry study

Sarasota, FloridaAges Any age - NCT06373848Enrolling by invitation
Vitamin E and Coenzyme Q10 for early gum disease
This study tests whether adding vitamin E and coenzyme Q10 to standard gum treatment can help heal early-stage chronic gum disease. It is for otherwise healthy adults aged 28-35 with mild gum pockets on their lower molars.
TehranAges 28–40 - NCT06312267Enrolling by invitation
Testing a special bandage to prevent wound infections after colon surgery

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for surgical?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,189 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.
