Safety and outcomes study of a smart knee replacement
This trial studies whether a “smart” knee replacement system (CORI) is safe and works well for people getting a total knee arthroplasty (TKA). If you’re a good candidate for a cemented standard knee replacement, the study follows you for two years to check results after surgery.
EppingAges 18 years+ - NCT04851886Recruiting
Vision tool to guide robot therapy for stroke arm posture
This trial tests a vision-based system that detects your arm and posture during robot-assisted upper-arm therapy after a prior stroke. It may help the robot guide treatment more safely and accurately based on your movements and positioning.
Charlestown, MassachusettsAges 18–80 - NCT04900558Recruiting
Study outcomes after robotic bladder removal surgery
This trial follows adults who are planning to have a robotic radical cystectomy (surgery to remove the bladder and surrounding tissue) to learn what outcomes to expect. If you choose to join and meet the basics, it may help your team compare results and improve care for future patients.
Florence, TuscanyAges 18 years+ - NCT04929769Recruiting
Surgery trial for early cervical cancer using radical hysterectomy
This trial studies whether a radical hysterectomy—performed either through laparoscopy or an open abdominal operation—works best for certain early-stage cervical cancers. It may help improve cancer control and guide how doctors choose the best surgical approach for your stage.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 21–70 - NCT04934982Recruiting
Surgery trial for early-stage cervical cancer with lymph vessel invasion
This trial studies whether a specific type of surgery (done through the abdomen or with keyhole surgery) is the right treatment for certain early cervical cancers. It aims to see how well these surgeries work when cancer hasn’t spread to lymph nodes.
ShanghaiAges 21–70 - 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 - NCT04939831Recruiting
Surgery study for certain stages of cervical cancer
This trial looks at two surgical approaches to remove the cervix in people with specific early-to-mid stage cervical cancer. It aims to see which approach is safer and/or works better for cancer control based on your cancer stage and scan results.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 21–70 - NCT05071144Recruiting
Registry for children getting robotic spine surgery
This trial registry collects information about kids and teens with spine deformities who are scheduled for robotic or navigation-assisted surgery (sometimes using custom rods). It may help doctors improve these advanced techniques over time.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges birth–21 years - NCT05179109Recruiting
