Navigation vs robotic-arm assisted knee replacement
This study compares two different high-tech tools used during total knee replacement surgery: one that uses a navigation system (OrthoPilot) and one that uses a robotic arm (MAKO). The goal is to see if one method leads to better results. If you're having a total knee replacement, this trial could help your surgeon choose the best approach.
Ulm, Baden-WurttembergAges 18–90 - NCT04855825Recruiting
Wearable robotic exoskeleton to improve walking and thinking in MS
This study tests a wearable robotic exoskeleton to help people with multiple sclerosis walk better and improve thinking/problem-solving. You would use the device during supervised sessions and take brief thinking and movement checks to see if it’s safe and helpful for you.
West Orange, New JerseyAges 18–75 - NCT05902910Recruiting
Robot therapy to improve arm movement after long-term stroke
This trial tests whether a therapy robot (the Luna EMG rehabilitation robot) can improve arm movement and be acceptable to use for people with chronic stroke. It focuses on helping the arm recover function over time and seeing how well patients tolerate the approach.
BrestAges 18 years+ - NCT05867927Recruiting
Robotic gynecologic surgery study for eligible adults
This trial studies robotic surgery technology for women who need a gynecologic procedure and are good candidates for the Intuitive Surgical system. It may help doctors improve how these surgeries are done, and it requires you to follow the study steps and consent to participate.
Hamburg, Free and Hanseatic City of HamburgAges 18 years+ - NCT05672368RecruitingPhase 2
Robotic surgery tool for abdominal and pelvic operations
This trial studies a specific robotic surgical system during abdominal and pelvic surgeries. It may help doctors improve how these operations are done using minimally invasive techniques (smaller cuts).
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05419089RecruitingPhase 2
Testing robotic surgery for HPV-related throat cancer patients
This Phase 2 trial studies a robotic surgery approach for certain HPV-related throat cancers, using HPV blood tests before and after surgery to guide care. If your cancer is HPV-related and your HPV blood test results match the trial targets, you may be able to join and help improve treatment for future patients.
Paramus, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT05321134Recruiting
Testing single-port robot surgery for colorectal conditions
This study checks how well a newer single-opening (single-port) robot works for colorectal surgery. It may help surgeons perform operations with the robotic system in carefully selected colorectal conditions.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05154253RecruitingPhase 1
Improving ankle push-off in children with cerebral palsy
This early (Phase 1) study tests a way to improve how well the ankle muscles help you push off when walking in cerebral palsy. If the ankle function improves, it may lead to a more comfortable and safer walking pattern.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 8–21 - NCT05155501Recruiting
Surgery planning approaches for localized prostate cancer
This study compares different approaches used during prostate cancer surgery for men whose cancer is only in the prostate. It may help doctors choose the safest and most effective surgical plan for your situation.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 40–80 - NCT04190589Recruiting
Robotic right-sided colon surgery for early to mid-stage cancer
This study looks at a newer, robot-assisted surgical approach to remove part of the right colon completely when colon cancer is suspected or confirmed. It may help by aiming for more complete tumor removal while tracking safety and outcomes.
VejleAges 18 years+ - NCT03719547Recruiting
Robot surgery for certain early cervical cancer cases
This trial studies whether robot-assisted surgery can be used safely and effectively for certain early-stage cervical cancers. It may help by using a precise surgical approach to remove the cancer while matching standard care for eligible patients.
StockholmAges 18 years+ - NCT02871726Recruiting
Robot-assisted ultrasound biopsy of the prostate
This trial tests a robot-assisted method to take prostate tissue samples using an ultrasound probe placed through the rectum. It may help patients and doctors get clearer biopsy results when there are early warning signs of prostate problems, before a cancer diagnosis is confirmed.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 45–75 - NCT02359253Recruiting
Robot-assisted arm therapy after a recent stroke
This study tests whether robot-guided therapy can improve arm and hand recovery after a stroke. You may be a candidate if your stroke was recent and you still have certain levels of arm weakness and movement.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–85 - NCT01473784Recruiting
Robot-assisted mouth and throat surgery for head and neck tumors
This trial studies using a robot-assisted operation through the mouth to diagnose or treat certain non-cancer (benign) and cancer (malignant) tumors in the head and neck. It may help some people avoid more invasive surgery by using an approach that reaches the throat and voice box area through the mouth.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07875192Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for robotics?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 446 recruiting robotics 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 robotics 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 robotics 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.
