Bologna, BolognaAges 40 years+ - NCT03048201Recruiting
Total Knee Replacement Registry Study for a Specific Knee Implant
This study tracks outcomes for people getting a total knee replacement using a specific knee implant system. It may help doctors understand which patients do best and how the implant performs over time.
Rancho Mirage, CaliforniaAges 22 years+ - NCT04511247Recruiting
Drug-coated balloon for artery disease below the knee
This trial tests a drug-coated balloon to open narrowed or blocked arteries in the lower leg (below the knee) and help them stay open. It’s meant for people with significant symptoms, to reduce re-narrowing after treatment.
SingaporeAges 21 years+ - NCT07533188Recruiting
Robotic Knee Replacement Surgery Alignment Techniques Study
This study compares two different ways surgeons can align and position a robotic knee replacement to see which gives better results. You'll be randomly assigned to one approach and tracked over time to measure pain, function, and satisfaction.
SingaporeAges 18 years+ - NCT04912323Recruiting
Drug dissolving stent for blocked below-knee arteries
This trial studies a drug-eluting dissolving scaffold placed in blocked arteries below the knee to improve blood flow. It may help people whose leg circulation problems are severe enough to limit walking or threaten the limb, but only if their blockages fit specific imaging and procedure requirements.
GrazAges 18–90 - NCT07151417RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Steroid injection during total knee replacement
This study tests whether adding a corticosteroid (a type of anti-inflammatory medicine) to the standard pain injection during total knee replacement can improve pain relief. It is for adults getting their first knee replacement at certain military hospitals.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05437562Recruiting
Trial compares recovery after lower-leg amputation in Veterans
This trial looks at outcomes after a below-knee (lower-leg) amputation in Veterans. It focuses on people who have blood flow likely to heal and who plan to join rehabilitation to walk again with a prosthesis.
Decatur, GeorgiaAges Any age - NCT04607174Recruiting
Test knee muscle activation in people with nerve or movement disorders
This study checks how well your knee muscles “turn on” during guided, controlled knee movements. It may help researchers understand movement problems and improve testing or therapies for neuromotor (nerve/movement) disorders.
Milan, MIAges 18–70 - NCT06071429Recruiting
Dissolvable medicine stent for leg artery disease
This trial tests a new dissolvable stent that slowly releases medicine to keep your lower-leg artery open. It is for people with severe leg pain or small wounds due to poor blood flow, and who are not eligible for other stents.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06075940Recruiting
A dissolving stent for blocked leg arteries below the knee
This study tests a new bioresorbable scaffold (like a temporary mesh) that slowly dissolves, releasing medication to keep your below-the-knee artery open. It is for people with severely blocked leg arteries causing pain or wounds at rest (Rutherford 4 or 5).
Randwick, New South WalesAges 18 years+ - NCT04635436Recruiting
Split-walking training for one-sided leg weakness when walking hurts
This trial tests whether a “split gait” walking training method can improve walking balance and how you move when you have one-sided leg problems and pain or limitations when walking. It may help reduce walking difficulties by training your stepping pattern safely.
