Study of knee joint shape and patella dislocations in Faroese teens
This study looks at how knee joint shape differences may relate to repeated kneecap (patella) instability or near-dislocation, and what that means long-term. It specifically includes teens from the Faroe Islands and asks about symptoms and knee function over time.
HvidovreAges 15–20 - NCT05847270Recruiting
Surgery for a neck bone dislocation that can’t be put back

Sabadell, BarcelonaAges 40 years+ - NCT06233539Recruiting
Study on diagnosis and treatment for neck bone dislocation
This trial aims to find the best ways to diagnose and treat a specific type of neck bone problem called atlantoaxial dislocation. It is for people who have this condition and are having surgery.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT07757594Recruiting
Two methods for putting a dislocated shoulder back in place
This trial compares two techniques used in the emergency room to gently guide a dislocated shoulder back into its normal position. It aims to see which method is quicker and less painful for patients with a simple shoulder dislocation.
Ho Chi Minh City, Ho Chi Minh CityAges 18 years+ - NCT06086080Recruiting
Non-surgical care after first kneecap dislocation
This study compares non-surgical treatment for people who have dislocated their kneecap for the first time in the past week. It aims to find the best way to help the knee heal without an operation.
Cali, Valle del Cauca DepartmentAges 10–40 - NCT06956729Recruiting
Guided hip growth for children with cerebral palsy
This trial tests a surgery to help guide the growth of the hip bone in children with cerebral palsy whose hips are at risk of slipping out of place. The goal is to prevent hip dislocation and avoid more complex surgery later.
A Coruña, A CoruñaAges 3–8 - NCT07115225Recruiting
Shoulder tests for athletes after a dislocation
This study tests a set of physical tests to see how well they measure shoulder function in people who have had a shoulder dislocation and plan to return to sports. It may help you understand if you are ready to go back to your sport safely.
AntwerpAges 16–55 - NCT07068893Recruiting
Wrist dislocation surgery with internal brace technique
This study looks at a surgical technique using four anchors and an internal brace to treat a type of wrist dislocation (perilunate). It may be an option if you've already had surgery for this injury and don't have broken wrist bones.
Orlando, FloridaAges 18–88 - NCT06752551Recruiting
Apprehension training vs standard physical therapy for shoulder dislocation in military
This study compares a new type of training focused on controlling shoulder 'apprehension' (the feeling that your shoulder might pop out) with standard physical therapy. It is for military personnel who have had a shoulder dislocation and may help you regain trust in your shoulder without surgery.
Be’er Ya‘aqovAges 18–39 - NCT06906419Enrolling by invitation
Knee surgery study for chronic kneecap dislocations
This study looks at how well a specific knee surgery (arthroscopic trochleoplasty) works over time for people who have had repeated kneecap dislocations. If you had this surgery between 2015 and 2023, your results could help doctors understand how to better treat this condition.
DrammenAges 18 years+ - NCT06169800Recruiting
Biologic patch for first-time kneecap dislocation surgery
This trial tests adding a biologic material (a substance that helps healing) to the standard surgery that repairs the ligament on the inner side of the kneecap. It is for people who have just dislocated their kneecap for the first time, to see if the biologic improves recovery.
Canmore, AlbertaAges 13–30 - NCT05821517RecruitingPhase 4
Breathing or virtual reality to treat shoulder dislocation pain
This trial compares two ways to help control pain after an anterior (front) shoulder dislocation: methoxyflurane breathing and a virtual reality headset, versus usual pain treatment. It may help some people by making pain control easier during treatment.
NiceAges 18 years+ - NCT02913352Recruiting
Surgery comparison for repeat shoulder dislocation
This trial compares two surgical techniques to stop the shoulder from repeatedly dislocating when there is significant damage to the shoulder socket and “matching” damage to the ball. It may help you if past repair hasn’t worked and imaging shows you have a higher-risk pattern of instability.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 16 years+ - NCT04370626Recruiting
Study of surgery outcomes for perilunate wrist injuries
This trial looks at how well treatment works for people with a perilunate wrist injury. You may be asked to follow a specific care plan after surgery, including therapy, check-in visits, and questionnaires.

Saving the submandibular gland during neck surgery
This study looks at whether a specific way of doing neck surgery can help preserve the salivary gland under your jaw in people with early-stage mouth cancer. It may reduce side effects related to saliva, while treating the cancer.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Up to 90 years - NCT05868434Recruiting

3D hip reconstruction surgery to prevent dislocation
This trial compares a modified hip implant positioning method to lower the chance of the hip “slipping out of place” (dislocation) after major hip tumor surgery and reconstruction. If you qualify, you may help test whether a small change in implant angle improves stability and function.
Ningbo, ZhejiangAges 16 years+ - NCT06261645Recruiting
Exercise program for non-traumatic shoulder instability
This study tests a new exercise program for people with non-traumatic shoulder instability (looseness without injury). It focuses on improving how well your rotator cuff muscles control shoulder rotation.

- How do I know if I qualify for a dislocation 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 dislocation 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.
