Recruiting studies
- NCT07027046Recruiting
A new robotic tool for endometrial cancer surgery
This trial is testing a newer, single-port robotic system (da Vinci SP) for staging surgery in endometrial cancer. It aims to see if this system is safe and effective for removing the uterus, ovaries, and possibly lymph nodes, with less scarring.
Naples, NapoliAges 18 years+ - NCT07013955Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
Comparing nasal packing drugs for better sinus surgery view
This trial is testing whether packing the nose with one of three medications (dexmedetomidine, midazolam, or bupivacaine) during functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) can improve the surgeon's view during the procedure. It may help patients by reducing bleeding and making the surgery smoother.
MinyaAges 16–60 - NCT07013682Recruiting
Platelet-rich fibrin combined with deep cleaning for gum disease
This trial tests if adding platelet-rich fibrin (a natural healing concentrate from your blood) to standard deep cleaning improves treatment for advanced gum disease. It may help patients with widespread gum disease who have not had treatment in the last year.
BernAges 18 years+ - NCT07003906Recruiting
Negative pressure therapy for emergency belly surgery incisions
This trial tests if negative pressure wound therapy (a special dressing that uses gentle suction) helps heal large cuts from emergency belly surgery better than a standard dressing. It may reduce infections and improve recovery.

Surgical training study for medical students
This study tests a new surgery training program for medical students. It aims to help students learn more during their OBGYN rotation.
Detroit, MichiganAges Any age - NCT06309368RecruitingPhase 4
Wound irrigation method for ileostomy closure
This trial tests whether irrigating (cleaning) the wound with a special solution before closing the ostomy site helps it heal better, compared to the usual method. If you're having a loop ileostomy reversal, you may qualify.
Las Vegas, NevadaAges 18 years+ - NCT06997094RecruitingPhase 1
Decitabine plus standard therapy for HPV-negative head and neck cancer
This trial tests whether adding the drug decitabine to standard treatment (surgery and possibly radiation) can help people with a type of head and neck cancer not caused by HPV. You would receive decitabine before surgery, and then continue with standard care after.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT06991270Recruiting
Glaucoma surgery study for people with cataracts
This trial tests a surgical system for people with mild to moderate open-angle glaucoma. It may be an option if you are having cataract surgery or have already had it, and your eye pressure is not well controlled with medications.
Panama CityAges 45 years+ - NCT06977646Enrolling by invitation
Heart surgery for apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy without valve pressure
This study looks at people who have had surgery to reshape the left side of the heart for a specific type of thickened heart muscle (apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy). It helps doctors understand how well this surgery works in patients without a large pressure difference across the heart valve.
Moscow, MoscowAges 15 years+ - NCT06960018Recruiting
Ennovate minimally invasive spinal screw placement study
This study tests a new, less invasive method for placing screws in the cervical spine (upper back and neck). It is designed for patients who need spinal stabilization after injury or degeneration.
AachenAges 18 years+ - NCT06949007Recruiting
Yoga for persistent pain after torso surgery
This study tests whether yoga or a health education program can help reduce long-term pain that started after a torso surgery like a chest, breast, or abdominal operation. You must have had surgery at least 3 months ago with moderate pain, and be able to attend classes in person or virtually.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06924151Recruiting
Surgery for Aortic Valve in Low Risk Patients
This trial tests if surgery to replace your aortic valve is safe and effective for people with severe aortic stenosis who are at low risk for complications. It compares surgery to another procedure to see which works best.
Matsudo, ChibaAges Any age - NCT06916728Enrolling by invitation
10-year knee implant follow-up study
This study follows patients who already took part in a previous trial for a knee implant (MP01). It checks how well the implant is working over 10 years compared to standard knee surgery.
La Mesa, CaliforniaAges 21–75 - NCT06916286Recruiting
Surgical drain securement and patient quality of life
This trial studies if different ways of securing surgical drains after surgery can improve your comfort and reduce complications. You may join if you are having a procedure that will require a surgical drain.
Winston-Salem, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06869096Recruiting
Flushing liquid during colorectal cancer surgery
This trial compares two different liquids used to flush the surgical area during colorectal cancer surgery to see which one better prevents infections. If you are having surgery for colorectal cancer, you may be able to join.
Nanchong, SichuanAges 18–85 - NCT06861361Recruiting
Surgery versus transcatheter valve replacement in younger patients
This trial compares two ways to replace a narrowed aortic heart valve in patients aged 65 to 75. It aims to find which approach—surgical valve replacement or a catheter-based procedure—works better for people in this age group.
GrazAges 65–75 - NCT06867185Recruiting
Electrical stimulation for nerve healing after finger nerve repair
This trial tests whether giving a small electrical signal during surgery helps nerves in the finger heal better after they are repaired. It might help you regain feeling and movement faster.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18–80 - NCT06866197Recruiting
Robotic system for microsurgery in lymphedema and free flap
This study tests a robotic system (Symani) to help surgeons perform very precise microsurgery, either to reconnect tiny blood vessels during a free flap procedure or to treat lymphedema (chronic swelling). It may help people with lymphedema who have not gotten full relief from compression therapy.
Melbourne, VictoriaAges 18–100 - NCT06858761Recruiting
Robot-assisted weight loss surgery: cost and results study
This study looks at whether using a robot during weight loss surgery is worth the cost. It compares outcomes for people having their first bariatric surgery or a repeat surgery for complications.
BordeauxAges 18–70 - NCT06856707Enrolling by invitation
MIRA surgical system registry study
This study tracks outcomes for people having surgery with the MIRA Surgical System, a robotic tool. Joining helps doctors learn how well the system works and if it is safe.
Lincoln, NebraskaAges Any age - NCT06849466Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Perioperative dexmedetomidine for chronic pain after lung surgery
This study tests whether giving the medication dexmedetomidine during and after surgery can prevent long-term pain after a thoracoscopic lung resection. If you are scheduled for this type of lung surgery, you may be able to join and help see if this drug makes recovery less painful over time.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT06830200Recruiting
Treating infected dental implants with a chitosan brush
This study tests a new treatment for infected dental implants using a small brush made of chitosan (a natural material from shellfish). It aims to clean the implant surface and help the infection heal.
AnkaraAges 18–65 - NCT05378841Recruiting
Surgery to reduce pain in finger osteoarthritis
This trial tests whether surgical “nerve disconnection” (joint denervation) can reduce pain from osteoarthritis in a finger joint. It focuses on people who have ongoing finger pain despite usual treatments for at least 3 months.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT02280733Recruiting
Chronic wound registry for real-world care documentation
This study is a real-world registry that collects information about chronic wounds and ulcers as they’re treated in everyday settings. It may help improve how care is tracked and supported, even if you don’t get a new medicine from the study.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for surgical?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 1,180 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.
