Syracuse, New YorkAges 22 years+ - NCT03519269Recruiting
Robotic versus standard knee replacement for severe knee arthritis
This study compares a robotic-assisted knee replacement to a standard (non-robotic) knee replacement. It may help people with severe knee arthritis learn which approach improves pain and knee function after surgery.
New York, New YorkAges 40–85 - NCT06843980Recruiting
Knee implant trial for inner knee pain

Oral nutrition support before hip or knee replacement
This trial tests whether an oral nutrition plan given before elective hip or knee replacement can help people with low nutrition (“malnutrition”) do better after surgery. If you’re a candidate for surgery and meet lab signs of poor nutrition, you may be asked to take an oral supplement by mouth.
New York, New YorkAges 55 years+ - NCT04984291Recruiting
Study of shoulder replacement implants for eligible adults

Buffalo, New YorkAges 20 years+ - NCT05412381RecruitingPhase 3
PRP after ACL injury to help prevent knee arthritis
This study tests whether PRP (platelet-rich plasma) given after an ACL injury and surgery can lower the chance of developing long-term knee arthritis. It may help protect the knee over time by targeting early healing after ACL reconstruction.
New York, New YorkAges 14–50 - NCT05495334Recruiting
Add knee osteoarthritis outcomes to a patient registry
This study tests a new way to collect how people with knee osteoarthritis feel and function after usual care (like injections, nerve-blocking procedures, or knee replacement). It may help improve future treatment decisions by using your regular follow-up reports in an app or online.

What taking part in a osteoarthritis study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
