Recruiting studies
- NCT06669741Enrolling by invitation

Denton, TexasAges 18–75 - NCT07647354Recruiting
Mako robotic joint replacement surgery registry study
This study collects information from patients undergoing hip or knee replacement surgery with either traditional or robotic-assisted techniques. Researchers track your recovery and joint function to understand how well these procedures work.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07284615Recruiting
Nerve Block vs. Wound Injection for Hip Replacement Pain
This trial compares two pain-relief methods after hip replacement surgery: a nerve block (numbing the hip area) versus a numbing injection into the wound. The goal is to see which provides better pain control.
Cinisello Balsamo, MilanoAges 18 years+ - NCT06181097Recruiting
Negative pressure wound therapy after knee or hip replacement
This study tests whether using a special bandage that applies gentle suction (negative pressure wound therapy) after knee or hip replacement helps incisions heal better. It may reduce wound complications and improve recovery.
Hong KongAges 50 years+ - NCT04209504Recruiting
Nerve block study for one-sided breathing muscle weakness after shoulder surgery
This trial tests whether a longer-lasting nerve block during shoulder surgery can better manage pain and affect one-sided diaphragm (breathing muscle) weakness. It may help people having planned (first-time) shoulder surgery who are able to follow study pain-checks.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18–80 - NCT05292339RecruitingPhase 4
Ketorolac shot for painful hand and arm tendon/joint problems
This trial studies whether a ketorolac injection can safely reduce pain and symptoms from certain shoulder, elbow, hand, or wrist tendon or joint conditions. It may help people who haven’t had surgery for the problem yet.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05381818Recruiting
Breathing muscle training before joint surgery
This trial tests whether strengthening breathing muscles before total joint surgery can lower the chance of lung complications after the operation. It may help people who already have breathing problems or a history of smoking.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18–100 - NCT05657847Recruiting
Imaging tests for joint disease in arthritis
This study tests new kinds of imaging (radiology pictures) to help understand arthritis in joints. It may help improve how these arthritis types are identified and followed over time.
BudapestAges 18–100 - NCT06352216Recruiting
Joint inflammation in hemophilia A patients
This study looks at how many adults with moderate or severe hemophilia A have inflammation in their joints (synovitis). It aims to better understand joint health in people with hemophilia A, including those with inhibitors or joint replacements.
Bonn, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT06965452Recruiting
Embolization for back pain from worn-out facet joints
This study tests if a minimally invasive procedure, called trans-arterial embolization, can reduce low back pain caused by aging facet joints (facet arthropathy). It may help people who haven't found relief from other treatments like injections or nerve blocks.
Manhasset, New YorkAges 18–85 - NCT04864158Recruiting
Shoulder implant versus exercise program for damaged rotator cuff
This trial compares a shoulder implant (prosthesis) with an active exercise program for people whose rotator cuff has caused shoulder joint damage. The goal is to see which approach helps function and comfort better over time.
Aarhus NAges 60–85 - NCT07468461Recruiting
Camptodactyly-arthropathy-coxa vara-pericarditis (CACP) syndrome study
This study looks at children with CACP syndrome, a rare genetic condition, to learn more about how the condition affects the body over time.
BariAges Up to 18 years - NCT05067543Recruiting
Shoulder replacement study using a new humerus implant device
This study tests a specific device used for shoulder arthroplasty (shoulder replacement) in adults. You may be able to join if you need a shoulder replacement and meet safety checks around infection, bone quality, and allergies.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 18 years+ - NCT05290818Recruiting
Robotic vs standard knee replacement for inner-joint wear
This trial compares robotic-assisted knee replacement with the usual (non-robotic) approach for people with severe arthritis on the inner (medial) side of the knee. It aims to see which method works better for pain and function while matching the right knee anatomy for certain implant types.
Edinburgh, LothianAges 50–75 - NCT06432543Recruiting
Wear particle study in revision hip replacement
This study looks at tiny plastic particles that wear off from artificial hip joints over time. Researchers will study these particles from tissue taken during revision hip replacement surgery to understand how they affect the body.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 20 years+ - NCT05956236Recruiting
Hip implant study for adults with severe hip pain
This study follows adults who will receive an investigational hip implant because their hip pain or disability is severe and not improved by other options. It checks how the implant system works and monitors patients over time with scheduled visits and questionnaires.
Saint-Priest-en-JarezAges 18 years+ - NCT05928403Recruiting
Compare knee implant types by how well people return to sport
This study compares three types of knee replacement implants to see how quickly and how well people can return to sports. It may help doctors understand which implant design supports better movement and recovery.
BiarritzAges 18–70 - NCT05447819Recruiting
Shoulder replacement for worn rotator cuff joint
This trial studies a specific type of reverse shoulder implant to improve shoulder function after severe joint wear. It’s for people whose shoulder pain and loss of function did not improve enough with non-surgical treatments and who need shoulder arthroplasty.
Hellerup, DenmarkAges 50 years+ - NCT04730700Recruiting
Radiofrequency treatment test for facet back pain
This study compares a nerve procedure (radiofrequency “neurotomy” using an expandable electrode) to non-procedure medical care for long-lasting low back pain from facet joints. It aims to see whether the procedure helps more safely than conservative treatment.
Kansas City, KansasAges 18 years+ - NCT05175300Recruiting
Vitamin E hip implant for young, active hip replacements
This study tests a hip replacement implant that uses Vitamin E–doped material to see how well it works for young, active adults. It’s meant for people who need a total hip replacement, and compares outcomes over follow-up visits.
LyonAges 18–65 - NCT04924205Recruiting
Smart knee brace rehab versus usual physical therapy
This trial compares recovery after primary knee replacement using a smart knee brace and app versus standard outpatient physical therapy. It may help you understand which rehab approach leads to better comfort and mobility during recovery.
Iowa City, IowaAges 18–100 - NCT03711175Enrolling by invitation
Repairing a shoulder tendon after reverse shoulder replacement
This study looks at whether repairing a specific shoulder tendon (the subscapularis) improves outcomes after reverse shoulder replacement. You may be eligible if you’re getting a reverse shoulder implant because of severe arthritis and your tendon is strong enough to repair on MRI.
St Louis, MissouriAges 21 years+ - NCT06162858Recruiting
Study on arm motion after reverse shoulder replacement
This study looks at how well people can move their arms during daily activities after having a reverse shoulder replacement. It may help find ways to improve recovery and function.
GhentAges 60 years+ - NCT06720779Recruiting
Virtual rehab platform for knee replacement patients
This trial tests a virtual rehab platform for people recovering from knee replacement surgery. It may help you do your rehab exercises more easily at the hospital.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for arthropathy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 86 recruiting arthropathy 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 arthropathy 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 arthropathy 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.
