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.

Istanbul, IstanbulAges 50–80 - NCT07465484Recruiting
Total knee replacement for bow-leg deformity
This study looks at how well total knee replacement works for people who have severe knee arthritis and a bow-leg (varus) deformity. It may help you if you have a lot of knee pain and are considering surgery.
MoscowAges 18 years+ - NCT07520721Recruiting
Shoulder Replacement Materials: Plastic vs Hybrid Implants
This trial compares two types of shoulder replacement implants for people with long-standing shoulder arthritis. It tests whether a hybrid design (combining different materials) works better than a traditional plastic design for pain relief and shoulder function.
Hoofddorp, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT07561333Recruiting
Pain Relief Methods for Knee Replacement Surgery
This study compares two different nerve-blocking anesthesia techniques to see which one controls pain better after knee replacement surgery. Both methods are designed to numb the area around your knee so you need less pain medication afterward.
Çorum, CentreAges 18–80 - NCT07591311Recruiting
Pain Relief Block for Hip Replacement Surgery
This study tests a new nerve-blocking technique called the Quadro-Iliac Plane (QIP) block to reduce pain after hip replacement surgery. The block numbs the area around your hip so you may need less pain medicine after surgery.
CrotoneAges Any age - NCT07606794Recruiting
Hip Surgery Pain Relief Using Nerve Blocks
This study tests two types of nerve-blocking injections to reduce pain after hip replacement surgery. The injections numb specific nerves around your hip so you need less pain medication after the operation.
Tanta, El-GharbiaAges 18–75 - NCT07630337Recruiting
Cryotherapy to reduce pain medication after knee replacement
This study tests whether applying cold therapy (cryotherapy) after knee replacement surgery helps patients need fewer opioid pain medications than standard care alone. If cryotherapy works, it could help you manage pain more safely after surgery.
Buenos Aires, Buenos AiresAges 18 years+ - NCT07633483Recruiting
Anxiety and Frailty in Older Adults Having Hip Replacement
This study watches how nervous patients feel before hip replacement surgery and how that connects to their overall strength and ability to bounce back. Researchers want to understand whether anxiety levels and frailty affect each other in older adults.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 65 years+ - NCT07634523RecruitingPhase 4
Amino acids to prevent muscle loss after knee surgery
This study tests whether a supplement containing branched chain amino acids (special protein building blocks) can help prevent muscle loss in older adults having knee replacement surgery. The goal is to help patients recover strength and mobility more quickly after their operation.
Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-doAges 40–100 - NCT07672301RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Comparing two anesthesia methods for knee replacement surgery
This trial compares total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) with spinal anesthesia for people having a first-time total knee replacement who are expected to go home the same day. The goal is to see which method works better for recovery and comfort.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07280195Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Comparing pain relief after shoulder replacement
This study compares two ways to manage pain after shoulder replacement surgery: a long-acting numbing medicine (ZYNRELEF) versus a temporary nerve block catheter. It aims to see which provides better pain control and recovery.
St Louis, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT06133933Enrolling by invitation
Shoulder replacement and pain medication study
This study looks at how your pain tolerance before a total shoulder replacement might relate to how much pain medication you need after surgery. The goal is to help doctors better manage pain medication after surgery.
Camden, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05520593Recruiting
Drinking plan before surgery to support same-day joint replacement
This trial tests whether a specific pre-surgery oral drinking (hydration) plan can help people feel and recover better after outpatient (same-day) hip or knee replacement surgery. It may help support safe same-day discharge for the right patients.
New York, New YorkAges 18–75 - NCT03921944Recruiting
CT and nerve tests after shoulder replacement for arthritis
This study checks how well the rotator cuff (the shoulder’s key tendons/muscles) is working after a total shoulder replacement done for arthritis. It uses CT scans and nerve testing to see what affects shoulder structure and function, which may help improve future care.
Hershey, PennsylvaniaAges 45 years+ - NCT06618820Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
Extended tranexamic acid after knee replacement
This trial tests whether taking tranexamic acid (a medicine that helps blood clot) for several days after knee replacement surgery reduces bleeding and improves recovery. It may help patients who have a standard knee replacement and are not on blood thinners.
Germantown, TennesseeAges 18 years+ - NCT06423716RecruitingPhase 4
Duloxetine to reduce opioid use after knee replacement
This study tests whether taking the pain medication duloxetine before and after knee replacement surgery can reduce the need for opioid painkillers. It may help patients manage pain with fewer side effects from strong narcotics.
Toronto, OntarioAges 50 years+ - NCT06371833Recruiting
Shoulder replacement study for arthritis or rotator cuff tears
This study is testing two types of shoulder replacement implants (one for arthritis and one for rotator cuff tears) to see how well they work over time. It may be a good option if you have severe shoulder pain from arthritis or a torn rotator cuff.
Cattolica, RiminiAges 18 years+ - NCT07532785Recruiting
Water and Land Exercise Before Knee Replacement Surgery
This trial tests whether a 6-week program combining weekly water-based exercise and three times weekly land-based training can help reduce knee pain and improve strength before total knee replacement surgery. The program aims to help you recover better after your operation.
London, EnglandAges 18 years+ - NCT06328062Recruiting
Comparing two pain medicines for knee replacement

Compare two pain block methods for hip replacement surgery
This trial studies whether one type of numbing injection (a PENG block) works better than another method (local anesthetic injected into the surgical area) to control pain during and after total hip replacement. It may help choose the best pain plan for people having a specific surgical approach.
London, OntarioAges 19 years+ - NCT04828954Recruiting
