Better walking after leg amputation
This study tests a new training program to help improve walking and balance for people with one leg amputation. You'll visit UNLV six times for practice sessions.
Las Vegas, NevadaAges 18 years+ - NCT04934839Recruiting
Gait study comparing prosthetic walking types in adults
This study compares how people walk using an osseointegrated prosthesis (a prosthesis connected to the bone) versus a traditional socket prosthesis. It may help researchers understand which option works better for walking balance, comfort, and function.
Milan, MIAges 18 years+ - NCT07685496Recruiting
How shoes affect walking for below-knee amputees
This study looks at how different types of footwear affect walking in people with a below-knee amputation. If you use a specific energy-returning prosthetic foot and can walk without aids, you may be able to join and help improve understanding of what shoes work best.
Manchester, Greate ManchesterAges 18–65 - NCT07677969Recruiting
Arm loss, balance, pain, and daily life study
This study looks at how the percentage of arm loss affects balance, neck and back pain, daily activities, and reaction time in people with one arm amputated who use a myoelectric or bionic hand. It may help understand how to improve care and rehabilitation.
AnkaraAges 18–65 - NCT07666204Recruiting
Improving prosthetic control after arm loss
This trial tests a new training approach to help people who have lost or were born without an arm below the elbow or higher. The training uses sensory and movement exercises to improve how you control a prosthetic device.
NancyAges 18 years+ - NCT07640516Recruiting
Pain Relief Comparison for Amputation Surgery in High-Risk Patients
This study compares two medications (dexmedetomidine and fentanyl) mixed with a numbing agent to see which works better for blocking pain during above-knee amputation surgery in patients with serious heart or lung disease. Both drugs are already used in anesthesia, and this trial tests which combination is safest and most effective for you.
CairoAges 18 years+ - NCT07613502Recruiting
Bio Leg: Advancing Mobility (BAM)
This study tests a new prosthetic leg designed to help people with above-knee amputations walk better. It may be a good fit if you already use a C-leg and can walk with a single point cane.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 40–70 - NCT06167330Recruiting
Titan trial: Reducing phantom limb pain
This trial tests a new method to reduce phantom limb pain (pain felt in a missing limb) using gentle electrical stimulation and simple mental exercises. It is for people with one-sided amputations who have had phantom limb pain for at least three months and still have pain episodes now.
Randwick, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT07592325Recruiting
Testing a New Flexible Prosthetic Socket for Below-Knee Amputees
This trial compares a new flexible prosthetic socket design to the rigid socket you currently wear. The goal is to see if the new socket is more comfortable, easier to put on, and improves how well your prosthetic leg works for daily activities.
ClamartAges 18 years+ - NCT07448350Recruiting
TENS therapy for better sensation after leg amputation
This study tests if a gentle electrical stimulation method called TENS can help people who have lost a leg below or above the knee feel more natural sensations in their missing limb and reduce phantom limb pain.
Rome, RomeAges 18–80 - NCT07420192Recruiting
A study on nerve surgery for pain after leg amputation
This trial tests a surgery called RPNI to treat painful nerve growths (neuromas) in people who have lost a leg. The goal is to reduce severe pain and improve the ability to use a prosthetic limb.
Ankara, AnkaraAges 18–70 - NCT07401966Recruiting
Amputation in childhood and nerve pain study
This study looks at nerve pain in children and teens who had an amputation before a certain age. It aims to understand how common and how severe this pain is after amputation, and uses simple questionnaires to find out.
Saint-MauriceAges 5–18 - NCT07393139Recruiting
Pain after arm or leg amputation
This study looks at pain in the days right after a limb amputation surgery. It aims to better understand and manage early pain, which could help improve recovery.
BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT07384689Recruiting
Study of leg tissue in non-traumatic amputation patients
This study looks at the tissue environment in the legs of patients who need amputation due to non-traumatic causes, like poor blood flow or infection. Understanding the tissue better might help improve healing for future patients.
Aarhus NAges 18 years+ - NCT07325708Recruiting
Testing a new implant to control a bionic hand
This trial tests a small implant that reads muscle signals to help you control a prosthetic hand more naturally. You may qualify if you have a missing hand or arm below the elbow and currently use or could use a myoelectric (muscle-signal) prosthetic.
Malvern, VictoriaAges 18 years+ - NCT07276867Recruiting
Spinal Add-On Medicine for Leg Amputation from Sarcoma
This trial tests adding two medicines (dexmedetomidine and fentanyl) versus fentanyl alone to the standard spinal anesthetic for above-knee amputation surgery for lower limb sarcoma. The goal is to see if the combination provides better pain control during and after surgery.
CairoAges 18–60 - NCT07266077Recruiting
A study of a slope-adapting prosthetic foot for Veterans
This study tests a special prosthetic foot that adapts to slopes (like hills or ramps) to help Veterans with below-knee amputations walk more easily. You would need to visit the Minneapolis VA and use a special foot for a while.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18–89 - NCT07265154Recruiting
Gait training with AI for above-knee amputees
This trial tests a new way to help people with above-knee amputations improve how they walk, using artificial intelligence to guide their gait training. It may help you walk more naturally and safely.
Banhā, BenhaAges 16–50 - NCT07263945RecruitingPhase 1
Prosthetic Foot Stiffness and Walking in Below-Knee Amputation
This study tests how different prosthetic foot stiffness levels affect walking, balance, and comfort in people with a below-knee amputation who use either a bone-anchored implant or a traditional socket. Participating may help match the right foot to your needs and improve your daily mobility.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT03594344Recruiting
Extra hyperbaric oxygen after leg amputation wounds heal
This study tests whether giving extra treatments with hyperbaric (pressure) oxygen after a leg amputation can improve healing or recovery. It’s meant for people whose amputation happened due to long-lasting infection or poor blood flow and who can attend follow-up visits.
OsloAges 18–90 - NCT06886295Recruiting
New ways to control an advanced prosthetic hand
This study is testing new, more natural ways to control an advanced prosthetic hand for people with below-elbow amputations. It may help you move the prosthetic more easily and intuitively.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for amputation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 145 recruiting amputation 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 amputation 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 amputation 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.
