Recruiting studies
- NCT05358574Recruiting
Shoulder implant follow-up study after a salvage bipolar surgery
This study looks at how safe and well a specific shoulder implant (“bipolar system”) works after it’s used as a backup plan during surgery. You may join if you needed this implant because the usual reverse shoulder attachment couldn’t be done during the operation.
HamburgAges 18 years+ - NCT05818891Recruiting
Study of a hip implant for people needing first hip replacement
This trial studies a specific hip implant (from Medacta) for people who need their first total hip replacement. It aims to see how well the implant works and whether patients recover mobility safely.
Dracy-le-FortAges 18–80 - NCT05758662Recruiting
PET-CT and heart ultrasound study valve changes after TAVI
This study looks at whether certain valve blood clots (called “subclinical leaflet thrombosis”) and different valve types are linked to valve aging over time. It uses a special PET-CT scan and an echocardiogram to measure changes in the heart valve about five years after TAVI.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT05691868Recruiting
Long-term follow-up for a mobile-bearing ankle replacement
This study follows people who get a total ankle replacement using a specific implant, to check how it does over many years. You may be asked to return for regular visits so the team can see what works best and whether complications occur.
Santa Cruz de TenerifeAges 21 years+ - NCT05619588Recruiting
Long-term follow-up for a new ankle replacement (U.S. only)
This study checks how well an Exactech total ankle replacement works over many years. You may be asked to complete follow-up forms for up to 10 years to help track safety and outcomes.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 21 years+ - NCT05548322Recruiting
Testing touch feedback for prosthetic limbs in healthy people
This study tests how well a prosthetic touch system can give realistic sensory feedback. It aims to improve how prosthetic users feel touch and movement, based on controlled testing in volunteers.
MarseilleAges 20–70 - NCT05489965Recruiting
Looking at voice outcomes in people using a TEP after laryngectomy
This study follows people who have had their voice box fully removed (total laryngectomy) and who use a TEP (a specific type of voice device). It aims to understand whether voice results differ between men and women.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05459233Recruiting
Testing ultrasound-guided valve settings after valve-in-valve TAVR
This trial compares two ways to check and fine-tune how well a new valve is working after a “valve-in-valve” TAVR procedure. It looks to see whether measurements from ultrasound of the heart (Doppler echocardiography) match results from a catheter test, which could help guide safer, more accurate valve care.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05146180Recruiting
Scan to help diagnose infection on a replaced heart valve
This study tests a special type of PET/CT scan to better detect infections on a prosthetic (replaced) heart valve. It may help doctors confirm whether infection is present, based on imaging results.
RouenAges 18 years+ - NCT05124652Recruiting
Testing a prosthetic socket that adjusts automatically
This trial is testing a prosthetic socket that can automatically adjust to help fit better and feel more comfortable. It may help people with below-knee (transtibial) amputations who currently struggle with socket fit or comfort.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18 years+ - NCT05000723Recruiting
Follow-up for hip joint infection after joint replacement
This study checks what happens over the long term for people who had an infection around a replaced (prosthetic) hip. It mainly helps doctors understand recovery and long-term outcomes after treatment.
LeuvenAges 18 years+ - NCT04864158Recruiting
Shoulder implant versus exercise program for damaged rotator cuff
This trial compares a shoulder implant (prosthesis) with an active exercise program for people whose rotator cuff has caused shoulder joint damage. The goal is to see which approach helps function and comfort better over time.
Aarhus NAges 60–85 - NCT04641039Recruiting
Study of scar differences after lumbar disc replacement
This study compares how postoperative scars look and behave after certain lumbar disc replacement surgery. It may help doctors choose approaches that reduce excessive scar-related problems after surgery.
Valencia, ValenciaAges 18–50 - NCT04634383Recruiting
Testing a brain-connected implant to help some blind people see
This early safety study tests an implanted device placed in the brain to help people with very limited sight (no or minimal light). It focuses on whether the implant can be safely used and whether it may support vision-related signals over time.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 19–70 - NCT04390230Recruiting
Who can use the scrotal pump on their inflatable penile implant?
This trial looks at whether men with an inflatable penile prosthesis can properly use the scrotal pump. It aims to understand which patients are able to operate the device successfully.
NiceAges 18 years+ - NCT03135847Enrolling by invitation
Using feedback to improve prosthetic movement in amputees
This study tests whether movement “feedback” can help adults with arm or leg amputations control a prosthetic better. It may be most helpful if you can comfortably wear a prosthetic socket and can understand and consent to the study.
Ages 18–75

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for prosthesis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 160 recruiting prosthesis 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 prosthesis 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 prosthesis 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.
