Recruiting studies in Texas
- NCT06194838Recruiting
Mechanical vs. powered knee for above-knee amputees
This study compares a non-powered (mechanical) knee to a powered (battery-assisted) knee for people with above-knee amputations who walk at a moderate level (K2). It will help find out which knee type works better for your daily activities and mobility.
Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06937242Recruiting
Testing a smarter prosthetic knee for safer walking
This study tests whether a microprocessor-controlled knee can reduce falls in people who walk limited distances. If you use a regular mechanical knee and have a moderate activity level, this trial might help you walk more safely.
Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05437562Recruiting
Trial compares recovery after lower-leg amputation in Veterans
This trial looks at outcomes after a below-knee (lower-leg) amputation in Veterans. It focuses on people who have blood flow likely to heal and who plan to join rehabilitation to walk again with a prosthesis.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT06840262Recruiting
Nerve surgery for pain after cancer amputation
This study tests two surgical techniques—target muscle re-innervation and regenerative peripheral nerve interfaces—alone or together, to help reduce pain felt in the remaining limb or the missing limb (phantom pain) after amputation for cancer. The goal is to find the best way to manage pain and improve quality of life.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07075042Recruiting
Comparing two myoelectric arm control methods
This study compares two ways of controlling a muscle-powered (myoelectric) prosthetic arm to see which is easier on your attention and works better for daily tasks. It might help you find a more comfortable and effective way to use your prosthetic arm.
Austin, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06921707Recruiting
WounDx test for healing decisions in large wounds
This trial tests a new tool called WounDx that helps doctors decide the best way to treat large wounds on arms, legs, or buttocks. It may help your wound heal better by guiding your care.
Fort Sam Houston, TexasAges 18–65 - NCT02994160Recruiting
DEFT hand control test for people with arm amputations
This study tests a special implanted system meant to help control a hand using nerve signals. It is for adult arm/hand amputees and may help improve hand/arm control and reduce pain impacts.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–95 - NCT05699174RecruitingPhase 3
Compare two antibiotic routes for infected broken bones after surgery
This Phase 3 trial tests whether giving antibiotics by mouth (PO) works as well as giving antibiotics through a vein (IV) for an infected fracture that has not healed after prior surgery. It may help you understand which approach is safer and more effective for getting the bone to heal.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07075198Recruiting
Testing the Caesar running foot for people with below-knee amputations
This trial tests a new running foot called Caesar for people with below-knee amputations who want to run but don't have a running blade yet. You'll try the foot at home and give feedback on how it works.

What taking part in a amputation study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.

Common questions
- Are there amputation clinical trials in Texas?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 9 recruiting amputation studies with a site in Texas, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a amputation study in Texas?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Texas to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Texas, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a amputation trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
