Recruiting studies
- NCT04516109Enrolling by invitation
Testing modified devices for hip arthroscopy in adults
This study looks at modified tools used during hip arthroscopy for people with hip impingement (FAI) and/or hip dysplasia. It may help patients with long-lasting hip pain and stiffness when non-surgical treatments haven’t worked.
Boulder, ColoradoAges 18–60 - NCT06937710Recruiting
Return to sport after hip arthroscopy
This trial studies how the hip moves and works after hip arthroscopy (a keyhole surgery to fix a torn labrum). It aims to help athletes like you return to sport safely.
MérignacAges 18–50 - NCT03481010Recruiting
Periacetabular hip surgery with MRI-guided planning
This study compares periacetabular osteotomy alone versus adding arthroscopy (a camera procedure inside the hip) to address cartilage/labrum problems in the hip’s center compartment. It aims to see which approach better improves symptoms and recovery for people with hip instability due to acetabular dysplasia.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 16–50 - NCT05746533Recruiting
Hip surgery outcomes study
This trial looks at how well hip-preserving surgery works for people who need hip surgery. It may help your care team understand what outcomes to expect after this type of operation.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 12 years+ - NCT07037888RecruitingPhase 4
Ketorolac for pain after hip arthroscopy
This study tests whether ketorolac, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), helps manage pain after hip surgery. It may offer an opioid-sparing option for patients with femoroacetabular impingement (FAI).
Detroit, MichiganAges 18–89 - NCT03181048Recruiting
Testing hip surgery plan during periacetabular osteotomy for hip dysplasia
This trial looks at whether doing hip arthroscopy at the same time as periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) is safe and helpful for people with hip dysplasia. It may matter for improving hip joint outcomes while your surgeon corrects bone alignment.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 15–55 - NCT05165927Recruiting
Testing ways to rehabilitate the hip after arthroscopy
This study compares different rehabilitation methods after hip arthroscopy surgery for common causes of hip pain, like labral tears or femoroacetabular impingement. It may help find a recovery plan that works better and whether a smartphone blood-flow-restriction tool can be used safely.
Englewood, ColoradoAges 18–60 - NCT05402072RecruitingPhase 1
Compare a collagen implant vs microfracture for hip cartilage damage
This Phase 1 study tests whether an “AMIC” collagen-based treatment works better or safely than the standard microfracture procedure for a specific kind of hip cartilage injury. If you have ongoing hip pain from a cartilage defect (not arthritis), you may be able to join and receive one of these surgical treatments along with a study rehab plan.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 18–55 - NCT06845735Recruiting
Comparing two types of stitches for hip surgery closure
This trial compares two types of stitches (absorbable vs. non-absorbable) used to close the hip capsule during hip arthroscopy, to see if one leads to better recovery. If you need hip arthroscopy for a hip problem, you may be able to join.
Columbia, MissouriAges 18 years+ - NCT07066709RecruitingPhase 2
Hip pain study after hip surgery
This study tests if a second hip surgery can help people who still have pain at least 6 months after their first hip surgery. It may help you if you have ongoing hip pain and haven't needed strong pain pills.
Madison, WisconsinAges 18–45 - NCT07020312RecruitingPhase 2
Brain training to improve muscle recovery after joint surgery
This trial tests whether brain-computer interface training can help you regain muscle control more effectively after knee or hip surgery. It focuses on four common procedures and uses neurofeedback to optimize muscle activation during recovery.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06491420Recruiting
Hip arthroscopy for femoral head fractures
This trial explores whether a minimally invasive hip surgery (hip arthroscopy) can help people with a specific type of femoral head fracture called a Pipkin 1 fracture. It aims to see if this approach leads to better recovery than traditional open surgery.
Cairo, ManialAges 18–55 - NCT04934462Recruiting
Non-surgical or arthroscopic treatment for hip microinstability
This study looks at treatment options that may help people with “hip microinstability,” where the hip can feel unstable or not sit perfectly. Researchers will compare non-surgical care and a minimally invasive surgery option to see what works best and why it helps.
GothenburgAges 18 years+ - NCT06500364RecruitingPhase 4
Knotless implants for hip capsule closure study
This study tests a new knotless device for closing the hip capsule during hip arthroscopy. It may help patients heal better after surgery.
Des Plaines, IllinoisAges 18–60 - NCT04094701Recruiting
Study of opioid needs after hip arthroscopy surgery
This study looks at how much pain medicine (opioids) people actually need after hip arthroscopy and what factors may affect it. It may help improve safer, more personalized pain control after surgery.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–80 - NCT07322705Recruiting
Reducing groin injury during hip scope surgery
This study tests a new way to position patients during hip keyhole surgery to reduce injury to the groin area from pulling. If you are having hip arthroscopy for a condition called femoroacetabular impingement, this trial might help make your recovery smoother.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 15–60 - NCT03909139Recruiting
Stem-cell injection during hip arthroscopy for labral tears
This trial looks at whether using BMAC (a substance made from a person’s own bone marrow) during hip arthroscopy helps people with labral tears caused by hip impingement. It aims to improve hip pain and function by combining the injection with the standard surgical repair.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04113759Recruiting
Blood-flow restriction therapy after hip arthroscopy
This study looks at whether limiting blood flow to the thigh after hip arthroscopy (a hip surgery to repair damage) can improve recovery. You may be able to join if you’re a young adult scheduled for first-time hip arthroscopy for certain hip problems.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–40 - NCT06003101RecruitingPhase 3
Blood treatments for hip labrum tear surgery
This study tests whether adding platelet-rich plasma (a blood concentrate), platelet-poor plasma, or bone marrow concentrate during hip surgery helps people with a torn labrum recover better. If you need hip arthroscopy and haven't had prior hip surgery, you may be able to join.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07472400Recruiting
Hip surgery recovery study for young adults with hip impingement
This study follows people before and after hip arthroscopy to treat femoroacetabular impingement (a condition where the hip bones pinch together). It measures strength, mobility, and daily function to see how recovery progresses over 6 months.
Sart Tilman, LiègeAges 18–40

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for hip arthroscopy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 20 recruiting hip arthroscopy 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 hip arthroscopy 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 hip arthroscopy 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.
