Pain Relief Method Comparison for Knee Replacement Surgery
This study tests a new way to deliver pain medication during and after knee replacement surgery. Researchers compare injecting a long-acting numbing medicine (EXPAREL) directly into the knee joint versus spreading it through the surgical area, to see which method works better for pain control.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06565377Recruiting

Geel, AntwerpenAges 18 years+ - NCT07092982Recruiting
Comparing two numbing methods for knee replacement surgery
This study compares two different numbing techniques to see which provides better pain control during and after total knee replacement. It may help find a way to reduce pain and improve recovery.
IstanbulAges 18–75 - NCT07319546Recruiting
Faster recovery after first knee replacement
This study tests a faster, more active recovery program for people having their first total knee replacement. It may help you get back to daily activities sooner after surgery.
Dali, YunnanAges 50–80 - NCT06847113Recruiting
Walking Speed Before and After Knee Replacement
This study follows people who are getting a knee replacement to see how their walking speed changes over time—both when they walk at their own pace and as fast as they can. It helps doctors understand recovery better.
OsloAges 55 years+ - NCT07003932Recruiting
Remote monitoring after knee replacement surgery
This trial tests a remote monitoring program for people having knee replacement surgery. It uses a smartphone app to track your recovery, so you can stay in touch with your care team without needing extra clinic visits.
Oslo, Please SelectAges 50 years+ - NCT06969222Recruiting
Robotic knee replacement study with a special implant
This study tests a robot-assisted knee replacement using a new type of implant designed to move more like a natural knee. It may help people with arthritis or other knee joint problems who need a total knee replacement.
Larissa, ThessalyAges 18–95 - NCT06953375Recruiting
Electrical stimulation for faster recovery after knee replacement
This study tests if adding a gentle electrical stimulation (called NMES) to standard physical therapy helps people recover strength faster after knee replacement surgery. It is for patients who go to specific UCHealth or Intermountain Health therapy clinics after their first total knee replacement.
Aurora, ColoradoAges 18 years+ - NCT06925880Recruiting
Can creatine help seniors recover strength after knee replacement?
This trial tests if taking creatine supplements can help people aged 65+ rebuild muscle mass and strength more quickly after total knee replacement surgery. Participants will take creatine during their standard outpatient rehab program.
Mataró, BarcelonaAges 65 years+ - NCT06780319Recruiting
Digital rehab after hip replacement surgery
This trial compares a digital (app-based) rehabilitation program with standard care after hip replacement surgery. If you have a smartphone and speak French, this study could help you recover from home.
MérignacAges 18–80 - NCT06947655Recruiting
Tourniquet types for knee replacement surgery
This study compares different types of tourniquets (tight cuffs) used during knee replacement surgery to see how they affect blood loss and how satisfied surgeons are with them.
Bonn, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT07727551Recruiting
Nerve block before knee replacement for better recovery
This trial tests if a nerve block given a few weeks before knee replacement surgery can improve pain and function after the operation. It is designed for people who have certain risk factors that might make recovery harder.
BrusselsAges 18–60 - NCT07240961Recruiting
Nerve block for pain after hip replacement
This study tests whether a nerve block injection in the back (called an erector spinae plane block) can provide better pain relief after a first-time hip replacement. It may help reduce the need for strong painkillers.
ManoubaAges 18–85 - NCT07721415Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Iodine drapes for shoulder replacement surgery
This trial is testing whether using iodine drapes during a first-time shoulder replacement reduces infection risk. It is for men who are planning this surgery.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07337772Recruiting
Comparing corticosteroid doses in knee replacement pain relief injection
This study compares different doses of a corticosteroid (an anti-inflammatory medicine) injected into the knee during total knee replacement surgery. The goal is to see which dose provides the best pain relief after surgery. It is for people having their first knee replacement due to osteoarthritis.
Fuzhou, FujianAges 18–100 - NCT02255331Recruiting
MRI study of hip implant wear and healing after revision
This study uses MRI scans to look at what’s happening around your hip implant—how well it’s integrating with bone and whether there are tissue reactions. It may help doctors better understand how different hip implant materials behave, especially after problems like dislocation or infection.
New York, New YorkAges 21–95 - NCT06308965Recruiting
Does blood vessel-sparing hip replacement improve recovery?
This study compares two different surgical techniques for total hip replacement using an anterior approach. The goal is to see if saving the small blood vessels around the hip during surgery leads to a better recovery for patients.
Genk, LimburgAges 18 years+ - NCT07665801Recruiting
Foot exercises after hip replacement surgery
This trial tests whether doing special foot exercises can improve recovery in people who have had a total hip replacement. It might help with walking and balance.
Ankara, AltındağAges 50–80 - NCT07539467Enrolling by invitation
Nerve Block and Tourniquet for Knee Surgery Pain Relief
This trial tests whether a nerve block (numbing injection near the thigh) combined with a tourniquet (pressure cuff) after knee replacement surgery reduces pain better than standard care. If it works, it could help patients recover more comfortably with less need for strong pain medications.
AnkaraAges 40–85 - NCT07453498Recruiting
Nerve block for pain after hip replacement
This study tests if a specific nerve block (the psoas sheath block) helps reduce pain after hip replacement surgery. If you are having a hip replacement, you may be able to join and get this extra pain relief.
GalwayAges 18 years+ - NCT07465159Recruiting
Prehabilitation for frail patients before hip or knee replacement
This study tests whether a 'prehabilitation' program (tailored exercise and nutrition support before surgery) helps older patients who are frail recover better after hip or knee replacement. Participants will be randomly assigned to either the prehabilitation group or the usual care group.

- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 436 recruiting arthroplasty 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 arthroplasty 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 arthroplasty 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.
