AR brain tests and rehab for stroke neglect
This trial tests an augmented reality (AR) system to find and treat “neglect” after an acute stroke. If you qualify, it may help assess attention problems and guide rehabilitation exercises.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07208071Recruiting
Augmented reality help for ultrasound-guided IV access
This trial tests whether augmented reality can help doctors perform ultrasound-guided IV placement. It is for patients who need this procedure and are not in an emergency.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 5 years+ - NCT04563390Recruiting
Augmented reality therapy for cockroach phobia
This trial tests whether a projection-based augmented reality exposure system can reduce fear and avoidance in adults with cockroach phobia. It uses a structured “practice with cockroaches” experience to help you feel safer over time.
Castellon, CastellónAges 18 years+ - NCT04351958Enrolling by invitation
AR videogame to prevent alcohol use in teens
This trial tests whether an augmented-reality (AR) videogame can help teens avoid drinking and reduce harm from alcohol. If you’re 16–18 and in high school, you may be asked to play the AR game during short sessions to see how well it works.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 16–18 - NCT07046832Enrolling by invitation
Augmented reality needle guidance for soft tissue biopsy
This trial tests a new augmented reality system that helps guide the needle during a soft-tissue biopsy. It may make the procedure more accurate and easier for your doctor.
Washington D.C., District of ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06891807Recruiting
Robotic vs augmented reality knee replacement
This study compares two advanced technologies for total knee replacement: a robot that uses a CT scan for guidance versus an augmented reality system that uses no scan. The goal is to see which approach leads to better outcomes for patients with osteoarthritis.
Sint-Martens-Latem, Oost-VlaanderenAges 18–85 - NCT05938166Recruiting
Training foreign caregivers with an augmented reality system
This study tests whether an augmented reality (AR) training system can help foreign care workers learn how to provide care. It involves Indonesian caregivers training for caring for older adults in Kaohsiung, with tests based on the older adult’s ability to follow instructions.
Kaohsiung City, Sanmin DistAges 21–65 - NCT07686211RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Study on better surgical guidance for head and neck cancer re-resection
This study tests a new augmented reality tool to help surgeons remove leftover tumor tissue after the first surgery. It might make re-resection more precise and improve cancer clearance.
Nashville, TennesseeAges Any age - NCT06096272Recruiting
Using augmented reality to help kids with cerebral palsy be more active
This trial tests if using an augmented reality game on a tablet can help children with cerebral palsy walk and move more each day. It could be an option if your child can walk on their own and doesn't have upcoming leg surgery.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 5–18 - NCT07350798Recruiting
Using robots and virtual reality for stroke rehab on a treadmill
This trial tests whether robotic devices, virtual reality, or augmented reality can improve walking and balance during treadmill training for people who have had a single stroke. It aims to make rehab more engaging and effective.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for augmented reality?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 54 recruiting augmented reality 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 augmented reality 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 augmented reality 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.
