Larissa, ThessalyAges 18 years+ - NCT07147530RecruitingPhase 4
Powered exercise device for walking in hip disease
This study tests a new powered exercise device designed to help people with hip problems walk better. It may be a good option if you have hip osteoarthritis or avascular necrosis and can do some standing and walking with support.
Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do, South KoreaAges 19 years+ - NCT06312943Recruiting
Biomarker study for inflammatory and non-inflammatory joint diseases
This study collects fluid from your joints (synovial fluid) or tissue from joint replacement surgery to look for biomarkers (biological clues) that could help doctors better diagnose bone and joint diseases.
Paris, IDFAges 18 years+ - NCT06883669Recruiting
AI for wrist and hand joint ultrasound
This study is testing if an artificial intelligence program can help doctors take clearer images of the wrist and hand using ultrasound. It is for healthy volunteers to help build the AI system, and for experienced sonographers to test how well it works.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–100 - NCT02418442Recruiting
Kid rheumatic disease registry study for follow-up care
This is an observational study that follows children and teens with rheumatic (joint/inflammatory) diseases to better understand how they develop and are cared for over time. You may help by letting the study contact your family in the future and by completing study tasks as needed.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Up to 21 years - NCT06025149Recruiting
Study of a New Biological Heart Valve 'UniLine'
This study tests a new biological heart valve called 'UniLine' for people who need to replace their mitral valve (the valve between the left heart chambers) or aortic valve (the main valve sending blood to the body) for the first time. If you qualify, you would have planned surgery (not an emergency) and need to be free of certain other serious health conditions.
Kemerovo, Kemerovo OblastAges 18–80 - NCT07748858Recruiting
Heart care support for older African American patients
This study aims to improve care for older African American patients with heart conditions and other health problems. It tests ways to provide more patient-centered support.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 50–99 - NCT05227924Recruiting
Testing safety and performance of a hip implant device type
This study checks how safe and well a specific brand of hip implant (SYMBOL range) works in people getting a total hip replacement. It may help by confirming the device performs as expected for primary or revision surgeries.
BeaumontAges 18 years+ - NCT07199738Recruiting
Knee replacement study with a new implant option
This study tests a specific knee implant insert (LEGION Medial Stabilized) in people who need a total knee replacement due to arthritis or similar joint disease. It aims to see if the device is safe and works well over time.
Newton, MassachusettsAges 18–80 - NCT02653079Recruiting
Blood testing and low-dose radiation for painful joint conditions
