Testing robot-assisted vs standard surgery for resectable esophageal cancer
This trial compares a robot-assisted approach to a standard minimally invasive approach for surgery in people with certain types of esophageal or gastroesophageal junction cancer that can be removed. It aims to see which surgery method works better and is safer for these patients.
MainzAges 18–90 - NCT03904888Recruiting
Robot vs standard keyhole surgery for double groin hernia
This study compares two ways of doing keyhole surgery for hernias in the groin: the usual laparoscopic approach versus a robot-assisted approach. It may help show which method is safer or more effective for people with hernias on both sides.
GhentAges 18 years+ - NCT05805410Recruiting
Trunk therapy in children with spastic cerebral palsy
This study looks at how special trunk (core) exercises or positioning affect movement and muscle control in children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP). It may help families understand which trunk-focused interventions improve function and comfort.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 4–12 - NCT06466070Enrolling by invitation
Robotic surgery to remove lung metastases
This trial uses robotic-assisted surgery to remove cancer that has spread to the lung from another part of the body. It is for people whose original cancer is under control and who are healthy enough for surgery.
Rome, Italy / RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT06486571Recruiting
Study of a better robotic hand with feeling
This trial tests a new way to control a robotic hand using sensors on your skin and to give you feeling back through mild electrical pulses. It may help people with upper limb amputations have a more natural sense of touch and control.
Budrio, BOAges 18–65 - NCT07610824Recruiting
Lung Pressure and Recovery After Robot-Assisted Prostate Surgery
This study measures breathing pressure during robot-assisted prostate removal surgery and checks lung function after surgery using ultrasound. It aims to understand how surgery affects your lungs and recovery.
Ankara, AnkaraAges 18–80 - NCT06666829Recruiting
Personalized rehab with robotics for kids with developmental disabilities
This trial tests a personalized rehabilitation plan that uses new technology and robotic devices to help children and teens with developmental disabilities. The goal is to see if combining these tools can improve daily skills and quality of life.
Genova, GenovaAges 5–21 - NCT07546045Recruiting
Robotic Surgery and Swallowing Recovery for Head and Neck Cancer
This trial tests a specialized robotic surgical approach for head and neck cancers, combined with personalized speech and swallowing rehabilitation. The goal is to remove tumors while preserving organ function and improving your ability to swallow and speak after surgery.
LausanneAges 18 years+ - NCT07298317Recruiting
Robotic system for inguinal hernia repair
This trial tests a new robotic system (called OTTAVA) for repairing inguinal hernias. It aims to see if the system is safe and works well, potentially offering a less invasive option for surgery.
Tampa, FloridaAges 22 years+ - NCT06733597Recruiting
Bone density change after knee replacement with or without cement
This study looks at how bone density in the thigh bone changes after knee replacement surgery, comparing two ways of attaching the new joint (with cement or without). It may help people who have normal bone density or early bone thinning but not full osteoporosis.
Madison, WisconsinAges 55 years+ - NCT05753306RecruitingPhase 2
Robot surgery plus heated chemo for limited spread stomach cancer
This study tests a “robot-assisted” surgery to remove stomach cancer in the belly lining (peritoneum) along with heated chemotherapy placed inside the abdomen. It’s for people whose cancer has spread only in the peritoneum, aiming to control disease when there’s a good chance of removing it all.
Rochester, MinnesotaAges 18–80 - NCT07489963Recruiting
Does keeping the posterior cruciate ligament help after knee replacement?
This trial compares two ways of doing robotic-assisted knee replacement: one that keeps the posterior cruciate ligament (a natural knee stabilizer) and one that doesn't. Researchers will see if saving the ligament leads to better knee function a year after surgery.
BordeauxAges 18 years+ - NCT05950438Recruiting
Study of outcomes after planned robotic esophagus surgery
This study looks at what happens after a planned (elective) robotic surgery to remove part or all of the esophagus. It may help doctors understand recovery and outcomes, and compare results among patients having this operation.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–89 - NCT07362342Recruiting
Right heart function after lung lobe removal surgery
This study looks at how the right side of the heart handles the stress of having a lung lobe removed. It compares different surgery types (VATS, robotic, or open) and focuses on people with moderate to high heart and lung risk factors.
Rozzano, MIAges 18 years+ - NCT05682989Recruiting
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 - NCT06797050Recruiting
Robot helper story for children with movement challenges
This study tests whether interacting with a robot helper named Nao can help children with movement difficulties learn new skills. The robot tells a story and guides activities to improve motor and thinking abilities.
Bosisio Parini, LeccoAges 7–16 - NCT07346066RecruitingPhase 3
A trial of IS-001 injection for robotic colorectal surgery
This trial tests an injection called IS-001 during robotic-assisted colorectal surgery. It may help surgeons see the ureters more clearly, which could reduce the risk of injury.
Newport Beach, CaliforniaAges 16–75 - NCT07277244Enrolling by invitation
Gentle breathing support during robot surgery
This study tests a low-pressure breathing method during robot-assisted surgery to see if it helps protect your lungs. It's for adults having abdominal or pelvic surgery expected to last at least 2 hours.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06962436Recruiting
Comparing Robotic vs. Ultrathin Bronchoscopy for Lung Nodules
This trial compares two types of bronchoscopy (thin-tube lung camera) methods to see which one better samples lung nodules. You may be able to join if you have a suspicious lung nodule and need a biopsy.
Jinan, ShandongAges 18 years+ - NCT06875258RecruitingPhase 4
Penile rehab after nerve-sparing prostate surgery

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for robotics?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 466 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.
