Recruiting studies
- NCT05814991Enrolling by invitation
Study of factors affecting operating field visibility in jaw surgery
This study looks at what makes the surgeon’s view during jaw (orthognathic) surgery better or worse. It aims to identify predictors that could improve safety and surgical conditions for patients undergoing bimaxillary osteotomy.
MoscowAges 18–40 - NCT05810428Enrolling by invitation
Using AI to predict outcomes and test pain treatment for trigeminal neuralgia
This study uses computer-based (AI) predictions to better understand what happens after a specific procedure for trigeminal neuralgia, a face pain condition. It also checks how well a “pain neuromodulation” approach works and what it feels like over time.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT05807763Enrolling by invitation
Laparoscopic hiatal hernia repair guided by FLIP testing
This trial studies a way to guide laparoscopic surgery for a paraesophageal (hiatal) hernia using special measurements during the operation (FLIP) and an endoscopy check. It may help doctors choose the most appropriate surgical wrap to better control reflux after surgery.
Evanston, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05744024Enrolling by invitation
VR-based comfort care during complex wound procedures
This trial studies a non-medicine way to reduce pain during complex wound care, possibly using VR or similar distraction tools. You may be able to join if you have painful wound procedures and can safely use the VR setup.
Amsterdam, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT05714293Enrolling by invitation
CT measurements after surgical aortic valve replacement
This study uses a CT scan (with contrast dye) to measure the coronary artery openings after people have a new aortic valve placed surgically. It aims to see how to best plan or understand coronary blood flow after the surgery.
RomaAges 18–80 - NCT05699343Enrolling by invitation
Gum surgery for implant inflammation using bone filler and a membrane
This study tests a gum surgery approach to treat peri-implantitis (infection/inflammation around a dental implant). It compares using a bone substitute alone versus adding a dissolvable collagen membrane to see which helps the implant area heal better.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05461157Enrolling by invitation
Silicone ointment before head or neck surgery to improve healing
This trial studies whether applying a silicone ointment before and around the time of planned head or neck surgery can improve how your wound heals after surgery. It may help reduce problems like poor scar healing, but you can only join if you meet specific medical and safety requirements.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT05417685Enrolling by invitation
Digital physical therapy for musculoskeletal pain
This trial studies a smartphone/tablet-based care program to help people with neck, back, shoulder, elbow, wrist/hand, hip, knee, or ankle pain. It may help reduce pain and improve function using guided exercises, as long as it is safe for you to do light-to-moderate activity.
Draper, UtahAges 18 years+ - NCT05090540Enrolling by invitation
Less Invasive vs Usual Surgery for Mitral Valve Leaks
This trial compares a less invasive catheter procedure to the standard surgical operation to treat “secondary” leaking of the mitral valve. It may help people with significant valve leak decide which approach works better for reducing symptoms and heart strain.
Saint-DenisAges 18–90 - NCT04308707Enrolling by invitation
Training surgeons to deliver difficult news better
This study tests a structured “how to break bad news” training tool for doctors and surgical residents. It may help improve how carefully and clearly clinicians communicate in serious situations.
BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT04194216Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
Antibiotic prevention during rhinoplasty surgery
This trial studies whether giving antibiotics before and around rhinoplasty (nose reshaping) can lower the risk of infection. If you qualify, you may be randomized to receive antibiotic prevention or another approach to prevention.
Stanford, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03484325Enrolling by invitation
Patient registry for joint replacement and related surgeries
This trial is a “registry,” meaning it collects information from people who choose certain elective joint surgeries. It may help doctors better understand outcomes and safety after procedures like hip and knee operations.
Houston, TexasAges 18–100 - NCT03407833Enrolling by invitation
Study changes in the body after weight, gut, or liver treatment
This study looks at how the body’s insulin-sensitivity (how well your body uses sugar/insulin) and organ function change after certain medical procedures. It may help researchers understand why some people improve after surgery or liver transplant and guide future care.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18 years+

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.
