Testing mesh surgery for pelvic organ prolapse symptoms
This trial studies how well and how safely a synthetic mesh surgery works for people with pelvic organ prolapse, especially when it causes bladder or urinary problems. It may help find better symptom relief, but it also tracks side effects closely.
New Taipei CityAges 30–100 - NCT05848609Recruiting
Quality of life study for older adults having robotic colon surgery
This study looks at how older people feel and function after robotic surgery for colorectal cancer. It may help doctors understand what to expect and how to better support quality of life during recovery.
BrusselsAges 70 years+ - NCT06010979Recruiting
Knee replacement with digital help study
This study looks at knee replacement surgery done with digital tools like robots or computer guidance. It may help people with knee arthritis find better ways to have surgery and recover.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT05842538Recruiting
Robotic surgery for total knee replacement in arthritis
This trial studies whether robotic-assisted surgery can improve or standardize outcomes for people getting a total knee replacement for severe arthritis. It may help by using a robot to assist during the knee operation, but you must meet specific knee and health criteria.
GothenburgAges 18–80 - NCT05600569Recruiting
Thoracic surgery registry study in Spain
This is a registry (a secure log) that collects information about patients who undergo thoracic (chest) surgery. It helps researchers understand what surgeries are being done and may improve planning and care over time.
ZaragozaAges Any age - NCT06215625Recruiting
Smart arm rehab for stroke and spinal cord injury
This study tests a smart home-based upper limb rehabilitation program for people with stroke or spinal cord injury. It uses technology to help improve arm and hand movement.
TainanAges 20–79 - NCT04936581Recruiting
Quality of life after rectal cancer surgery
This study looks at patient-reported outcomes—how you feel and function—after surgery for rectal cancer. It may help doctors better understand recovery and well-being after different surgical approaches and treatments.
MadridAges 18–100 - NCT06029621Recruiting
Robot vs camera surgery for thymoma
This study compares two types of minimally invasive surgery for thymoma: one using a robotic system and the other using a tiny camera (VATS). Both aim to remove the tumor with smaller cuts and faster recovery.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06224218Recruiting
Comparing two surgeries for enlarged prostate
This trial compares two types of surgery for men with an enlarged prostate (BPH) whose symptoms haven't improved with medication. The goal is to see which procedure works better.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–88 - NCT07850401Recruiting
Comparing surgical methods for emergency abdominal operations
This trial compares different surgical techniques—open, laparoscopic (keyhole), and robotic—for emergency abdominal surgery. By joining, you may help doctors learn which approach leads to better recovery and outcomes for patients like you.
Portsmouth, HampshireAges 18 years+ - NCT07832539Recruiting
Robot-assisted hysterectomy for gynecologic conditions
This study tests a new robotic system to perform a hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) and possibly remove the fallopian tubes, ovaries, or lymph nodes, if needed. It aims to see if this robotic approach is safe and effective for patients who are already candidates for laparoscopic surgery.
Inca, Balearic IslandsAges 18–90 - NCT06466902Recruiting
Using photos to check lymph node removal in stomach cancer surgery
This study tests if taking photos during minimally invasive stomach cancer surgery can help doctors check that all the right lymph nodes were removed. If you're having a laparoscopic or robotic gastrectomy for stomach cancer, this study might be for you.
Cremona, CRAges 18 years+ - NCT07813247Recruiting
Robotic adrenalectomy with or without a glowing dye to guide surgery
This trial compares two ways of doing robotic surgery to remove an adrenal gland: one with an extra dye that lights up the area to help the surgeon see, and one without. The dye is like a glowing marker that might help the surgeon be more precise.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT07804342Enrolling by invitation
Ankle robot training to improve walking after stroke
This study tests whether a robot that helps your ankle move in a way that exaggerates mistakes can improve your walking. It is for people who had a stroke more than 6 months ago and still have weakness or difficulty walking.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–88 - NCT07803315Recruiting
Light-based imaging for kidney tumor surgery
This study tests a special camera that uses light to help surgeons see kidney tumors more clearly during robot-assisted surgery. It may help your doctor remove the tumor more precisely while saving healthy kidney tissue.
LeipzigAges 18 years+ - NCT06512480Recruiting
Robotic colorectal surgery with the Hugo RAS platform

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.
