Recruiting studies
- NCT04003272Enrolling by invitation
Reverse shoulder implant study for severely damaged rotator cuff
This trial studies a specialized reverse shoulder implant system for people whose rotator cuff is badly damaged or who had a prior shoulder replacement that failed. It aims to reduce pain and improve function by improving how your shoulder works, especially when the rotator cuff can’t do its job.
Louisville, KentuckyAges 18 years+ - NCT03404778Enrolling by invitation
Collecting data on reverse shoulder implants for weak rotator cuff
This study collects real-world information about a reverse shoulder implant used when the rotator cuff is badly damaged. It may help improve how these implants are chosen and how well they work for pain relief and improving arm function.
Towson, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT02748408Recruiting
Long-term follow-up after total hip replacement for severe hip pain
This study tracks people for many years after they get their first total hip replacement due to severe hip problems. It helps doctors understand how well the implant works and how patients recover over time.
ViennaAges 18–75 - NCT02257866Recruiting
Study of blood vessel inflammation over time
This study looks at different types of blood vessel inflammation (vasculitis) to learn more about why they happen and how they progress. By joining, you may help doctors better understand these conditions and improve future treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 3 years+ - NCT02504879Recruiting
Study of melorheostosis progression and genetic causes
This study follows adults with suspected or confirmed melorheostosis to understand how the condition develops and what outcomes to expect. It may help researchers better understand the disease and its genetic factors.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–90 - NCT02471352Recruiting
Share skin samples for dermatology research
This study collects and stores biological samples (biospecimens) from people with skin conditions, people at risk, or healthy volunteers. It helps researchers better understand dermatologic diseases and support future skin research.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 1 day–100 years - NCT02377245Enrolling by invitation
Study of inflammatory rheumatism in youth
This study follows children and teens who have an inflammatory rheumatism condition that started in childhood. It aims to better understand these illnesses and how they affect young people over time.
BrusselsAges Any age - NCT02664337Enrolling by invitation
Study of what people prefer in joint and fracture treatments
This study asks patients (or parents/caregivers, for children’s injuries) about their preferences for different treatment options for certain joint and fracture problems. It may help clinicians choose care plans that match what patients value.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18–85 - NCT01631617RecruitingPhase 2
Atopic dermatitis treatments and how they affect skin
This Phase 2 study tests different treatments for atopic dermatitis (eczema) by looking at changes in skin health. It may help people find safer, more effective ways to control moderate to severe eczema and related skin infections.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 2–50 - NCT01376024Recruiting
Study for thumb joint arthritis treatment planning
This study looks at people with painful arthritis at the base of the thumb (the basal joint) to better understand outcomes after a planned procedure. You may be able to join if your symptoms match and you can follow the study instructions.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18 years+ - NCT00512343Recruiting
Donate joint fluid for an arthritis study
This trial collects fluid from an inflamed joint in people with arthritis to study the joint. It may help researchers better understand joint disease and improve future testing or treatments.
Sherbrooke, QuebecAges 3–95 - NCT00001372Recruiting
Understanding Lupus: Research Study at NIH
This research study aims to better understand systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), an autoimmune disease where the body's immune system attacks its own tissues. Researchers will evaluate patients with lupus, study genetic factors, and perform optional imaging tests to learn how the disease affects blood vessels and the heart.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 3–120

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for arthritis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 540 recruiting arthritis 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 arthritis 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 arthritis 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.
