Recruiting studies
- 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+ - NCT07437469Recruiting

This trial tests if listening to binaural beats (a type of sound therapy) after hip or knee replacement surgery can help reduce pain and anxiety. You would receive the sound therapy through headphones while in the recovery room.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–99 - NCT07442812Recruiting
Dexamethasone: pill vs. IV for knee replacement recovery
This trial compares two ways of giving dexamethasone (a strong anti-inflammatory) for people having knee replacement surgery. One group gets a pill and the other gets an IV. The goal is to see which method works better for pain, swelling, and recovery.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 50–80 - NCT07442435Recruiting
Reiki for recovery after knee replacement surgery
This study tests whether adding Reiki (a gentle hands-on relaxation therapy) to standard care helps people feel better and recover more comfortably after a first-time knee replacement. It may be a good fit if you are having your first knee replacement, are not on certain medications, and haven't tried energy therapies before.
SinopAges 18 years+ - NCT07427758Recruiting
Cognitive behavioral therapy for fear of movement after hip replacement
This trial tests whether a special type of talk therapy (cognitive behavioral therapy) can help reduce fear of moving your hip and improve recovery after your first hip replacement surgery. It may be a good fit if you are nervous about moving your new hip and want extra support.
Giza, Giza GovernorateAges 18–80 - NCT07410000Recruiting
Block for pain after hip replacement
This trial tests a nerve block to reduce pain after hip replacement surgery. It may help you need fewer painkillers and recover more comfortably.
BursaAges 18–80 - NCT07406893Recruiting
Reducing Infection Risk in Shoulder Replacement Surgery
This trial tests whether a special gel (Prontosan) applied during shoulder replacement surgery can reduce the risk of infection. It is for men having their first shoulder replacement.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT07392515Recruiting
Digital rehab for hip fracture recovery in older adults
This trial tests whether a digital rehabilitation program can help older adults recover their thinking and movement skills after hip fracture surgery. It uses sensors and digital tools to guide therapy, making it easier to do from a rehabilitation ward.
Messina, ItalyAges 65–89 - NCT06746168Recruiting
Better pain control after knee replacement surgery
This study tests a new way to manage pain after total knee replacement. It aims to see if a specific local pain block can reduce the need for strong opioids and improve recovery.
Hasselt, LimburgAges 18–85 - NCT06837844Recruiting
Pain relief study for knee replacement surgery
This trial tests a combination of two pain-relief methods after total knee replacement: a spinal injection and a nerve block in the thigh. It aims to provide better pain control during and after surgery.
Kafr ash Shaykh, KafrelsheikhAges 18–75 - 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+ - NCT07356323Recruiting
Study on antibacterial drape for hip or knee replacement
This trial tests if a special antibacterial drape reduces contamination during hip or knee replacement surgery. The drape is placed over the skin to help prevent infection.
Fishers, IndianaAges 22 years+ - NCT07360392Recruiting
Nerve block comparison for knee replacement pain
This study compares two numbing techniques (nerve blocks) for pain relief after knee replacement surgery. The goal is to find which one works better and helps you recover with less pain.
AmasyaAges 18–80 - NCT04031820Recruiting
Comparing two hip cup types to prevent dislocation
This trial compares a “dual-mobility” hip cup to a “unipolar” hip cup during primary hip replacement, focusing on dislocation (the hip coming out of place) and overall cost-effectiveness. It may help your care team choose the best implant for you and monitor outcomes after surgery.
AmsterdamAges 70 years+ - NCT04049279Recruiting
Testing hip implant cement amount for better stability
This study compares hip implant “migration” (how the implant may slowly shift) when a cemented hip cup is used with different cement approaches. It may help surgeons choose the option that keeps the implant more stable over time.
AmsterdamAges 65 years+ - NCT06856356Recruiting
Robot-assisted knee replacement surgery study
This study tests if robot-assisted total knee replacement surgery is safe and effective. It may help people who need knee replacement surgery by using advanced technology for more precise implant placement.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–80 - NCT06858358Recruiting
Robot vs. standard knee replacement for severe arthritis
This trial compares a robot-assisted knee replacement technique to the standard approach for people with severe knee arthritis. It aims to see which method leads to better recovery and outcomes.
Cluj-Napoca, ClujAges Any age - 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 - NCT07336160Recruiting
Nutrition before knee replacement surgery
This trial studies a special nutrition plan before knee replacement surgery to see if it helps recovery. Participants follow enhanced recovery guidelines for eating and drinking before their operation.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 18 years+ - NCT07337642Recruiting
Comparing two types of hip replacement stems
This study compares two kinds of hip implant stems (one with a collar, one without) to see which works better for patients getting their first total hip replacement. If you are scheduled for a cement-free hip replacement due to arthritis, this trial may be a good fit.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18–99 - NCT04884542Recruiting
Testing a knee replacement implant for total knee arthroplasty
This study looks at outcomes after surgery using the Multigen Plus H knee replacement system, sometimes with special add-on parts called AMF TT cones. It may help improve how well these knee implants work and how patients recover after total knee replacement.
GhentAges 18 years+ - NCT06729983Recruiting
Tendon lengthening during reverse shoulder replacement
This study tests whether slightly lengthening a tendon during reverse shoulder replacement improves outcomes. It's for adults getting their first reverse replacement at Loyola sites.
Maywood, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05314491Recruiting
Follow-up study after knee replacement with a specific implant
This study follows people after they get a total knee replacement using the Multigen Plus system, sometimes with special cone pieces. It looks at how well the implant performs over time and whether results meet expectations.
GuimarãesAges 18 years+ - 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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for arthroplasty?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 450 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.
