Knee brace for inner knee arthritis: a study
This study tests whether wearing a special knee brace for at least 4 hours a day can help reduce pain and improve function in people with arthritis in the inner part of the knee.

Nerve blocks for better recovery after knee replacement
This trial tests two types of nerve blocks—iPACK and BiFeS—to see if they help people feel better and recover faster after total knee replacement surgery. It compares adding these blocks to the usual spinal anesthesia.
ErzurumAges 18–75 - NCT06490770Recruiting
Understanding knee pain and function
This study looks at how your knee joint works when you have pain or limited function. It uses MRI and electrical stimulation to learn more about cartilage and meniscus damage, which might help improve future treatments.
BolognaAges 18–60 - NCT07288970Recruiting
Comparing two numbing injections for knee replacement pain
This study compares two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) to see which provides better pain relief after total knee replacement surgery. If you are 65 or older and having your first knee replacement, you may be able to join.
PoznanAges 65–100 - NCT07288983Recruiting
Pain blocks after hip surgery: testing three approaches
This trial compares three different numbing injections (nerve blocks) to see which provides the best pain relief after hip replacement surgery. It may help older adults with moderate health status who are having hip surgery.
PoznanAges 65–100 - NCT07301242Recruiting
Study of ciprofol in older adults having limb surgery
This trial studies how the drug ciprofol works in older adults undergoing elective orthopedic limb surgery. The goal is to understand how the body processes the drug and how it affects patients, which may help improve its use for anesthesia in the elderly.
ShanghaiAges 65 years+ - NCT07301892Recruiting
AI help for rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis
This trial tests whether artificial intelligence (AI) can improve how doctors spot complications in people newly diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a condition that causes joint pain and swelling. The goal is to see if AI can make diagnosis faster and more accurate in real-world hospital settings.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT07304323Recruiting
Predicting recovery after hip or knee replacement in 2018
This trial is for people who had hip or knee replacement surgery in 2018 at a specific hospital in Milan and then went to its rehabilitation unit. Researchers will use your medical records to build and test a tool that predicts recovery after joint replacement.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT07313449Recruiting
Knee replacement study: 1-year results for a specific prosthesis
This study looks at how well a certain type of cemented total knee replacement works after at least one year. It may help doctors understand long-term outcomes for this specific knee implant.
StrasbourgAges 18 years+ - NCT07316933Recruiting
Exercise with light blood flow restriction before knee replacement
This trial tests if a specific type of exercise, done with a cuff that lightly restricts blood flow to your leg, can help you get stronger and recover better while you wait for knee replacement surgery. The blood flow restriction is carefully controlled and adjusted during exercise, which may make the workout more effective.
Valencia, ValenciaAges 50–85 - NCT07327372Recruiting
Numbing with sedation for hip surgery in older adults
This trial tests a numbing injection (called a PENG block) plus a sedative (dexmedetomidine) for older adults having hip surgery. The goal is to see if this combination gives better pain relief and fewer side effects.
PoznanAges 65–100 - NCT07327931Recruiting
Comparing two PENG block recipes for hip surgery in older adults
This study tests two different types of local numbing medicine (with and without extra additives) for a nerve block called PENG block in older adults having hip surgery. The goal is to find which method controls pain better and reduces the need for strong pain relievers.
PoznanAges 65–100 - NCT07330999Recruiting
PENG block variants with and without extra medications for older adults undergoing hip surgery
This trial tests three ways of doing a PENG block (a type of pain relief injection for hip surgery) with or without added medications (adjuvants) to see which works best for older adults. It aims to improve pain control and reduce the need for other pain medicines after surgery.
PoznanAges 65–100 - NCT07339137Recruiting
PRP injections for chronic knee osteoarthritis
This trial tests if platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections into and around the knee joint can reduce pain and improve function for people with moderate knee osteoarthritis who haven't gotten relief from other treatments.
Ankara, ÇankayaAges 40–65 - NCT07449403Recruiting
Pain after hip replacement: testing a nerve block
This study tests a special numbing injection (called a PENG block) given around the hip joint to see how well it controls pain after hip replacement surgery. If you are having a hip replacement under spinal anesthesia and are in generally good health, this study may help find better ways to manage your post-surgery pain.
PoznanAges 65–100 - NCT07327892Recruiting
Comparing pain relief methods for hip surgery in older adults
This study compares three different ways to manage pain after hip surgery in older adults. One group gets a nerve block behind the hip, another gets the block plus a numbing injection around the joint, and the third gets only the numbing injection. The goal is to find the best method to reduce pain and help you recover more comfortably.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for osteoarthritis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 610 recruiting osteoarthritis 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 osteoarthritis 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 osteoarthritis 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.
