Recruiting studies
- 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 - 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+ - NCT05112302Enrolling by invitation
Virtual reality during orthopedic anesthesia
This study tests whether using virtual reality during hip or knee surgery (while you’re receiving a nerve block for anesthesia) helps make the experience more comfortable. You’d try the VR during your procedure, and the team will compare outcomes with usual care.
Jackson, FloridaAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT04875884Recruiting
MRI imaging study for people with a replaced hip
This trial uses an MRI scan to improve how hip replacements are imaged, especially in people with hip pain. It may help clinicians see what’s going on around the hip implant more clearly.
New York, New YorkAges 18–99 - NCT04814082Recruiting
Compare two knee implant types for walking and function
This study compares two designs of knee replacement implants to see how they affect walking, function, and outcomes after surgery. You may be randomly assigned to one of the implant types used for your specific, approved knee replacement.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–75 - 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+ - NCT04729686RecruitingPhase 4
Nerve block during hip replacement for less postoperative pain
This trial tests whether a specific nerve block given during planned hip replacement surgery can reduce pain afterward. It may help you use less opioid pain medicine, but you must meet certain safety and medication criteria.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–80 - NCT04695028Recruiting
Study to better understand crystal-related joint pain
This study looks at people with certain types of crystal deposits in joints (like gout, CPPD, or hydroxyapatite crystal disease). It uses scans such as ultrasound and a special CT-type scan called DECT to confirm and better understand what’s causing your symptoms.
LommeAges 18 years+ - NCT04014413Recruiting
Fecal transplant for gut and immune-related conditions
This trial studies whether fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT)—a medical procedure using stool from a screened donor to restore gut bacteria—can improve safety and outcomes for people with certain bowel, immune, and metabolic conditions. It may help if your symptoms are thought to be related to an unhealthy gut microbiome, though eligibility is broad and depends on specific safety factors.
Hong Kong, ShatinAges Any age - 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+ - 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+ - NCT03304730Recruiting
Tracking pain patterns after low back joint injections
This study follows adults with long-lasting low back pain to learn what predicts who improves after a specific type of back joint injection. It mainly helps doctors understand which factors relate to better or worse outcomes over time.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 18 years+ - NCT07867821Recruiting
Finding new markers in hemophilia joint damage
This study looks at tissue from joints affected by hemophilia to find new markers that could help understand and treat joint damage. It is for people with severe hemophilia who need a joint procedure like a fluid removal, synovectomy, or joint replacement.
MilanAges Any age - NCT07839195Enrolling by invitationPhase 2
Steroid injection after radiofrequency ablation for back and neck pain
This trial tests whether giving a corticosteroid injection right after a radiofrequency nerve ablation (a procedure that zaps nerve endings to reduce pain) can help prevent the temporary nerve irritation that sometimes happens after. It may help make your recovery more comfortable.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for arthropathy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 87 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.
