Comparing robotic vs. laparoscopic surgery for weight loss revision
This trial compares two types of surgery (robotic and laparoscopic) to see which leads to fewer problems after a second weight-loss operation. It is for people who need to revise their first bariatric surgery to a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass.
LyonAges 18–70 - NCT07180797Enrolling by invitation
Training urologists on a new robot for prostate surgery
This study tests a training program for urologists and urology residents to learn how to use a new Hugo RAS robot for nerve-sparing prostate removal. It aims to see if the program helps them gain the skills they need.
MelleAges 18 years+ - NCT07178210Recruiting
Robotic surgery for lymphatic drainage in Alzheimer's disease
This study tests a new robotic-assisted surgery to improve drainage of lymph fluid in the neck, which may help slow the progression of Alzheimer's disease. It is for people with mild to moderate Alzheimer's who have specific biomarkers.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 50 years+ - NCT06650202Recruiting
Robotic stand trainer and spinal cord stimulation for balance
This trial tests whether combining a robotic stand trainer with spinal cord epidural stimulation can improve balance in people with spinal cord injury. It is for individuals who already have an implanted stimulation unit and cannot stand on their own without it.
West Orange, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06664710Recruiting
Robot-assisted cochlear implant surgery with hearing monitoring
This study tests a new robotic system that helps place a cochlear implant while measuring your inner ear's natural electrical signals during surgery. The goal is to make the procedure more precise and possibly improve hearing outcomes.
Iowa City, IowaAges 12 years+ - NCT06660914Recruiting
Robotic vs standard ureteroscopy for kidney stones
This trial compares a robot-assisted method to the standard procedure for removing kidney stones. It aims to see if the robotic approach is safer or more effective.
Sheung ShuiAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT07141225Recruiting
Testing no-clamp, no-suture robot kidney surgery
This study is testing a special technique in robot-assisted kidney surgery where the blood supply to the kidney is not clamped and the tumor is removed without sutures. It may reduce damage to healthy kidney tissue and speed recovery.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT07132255Enrolling by invitation
Study of remote robot-assisted heart stent placement
This trial tests whether a doctor can use a robot to place a heart stent while being in a different location. It is designed for people who need a stent to open a blocked heart artery.

Pain relief after robotic kidney surgery: R.E.C.K. vs Exparel
This trial tests two different pain-relief medicines (R.E.C.K. and Exparel) given during robotic kidney surgery. It aims to find which works better to control pain after the operation.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT07092436Recruiting
Testing a new device for arm rehab in children
This trial tests a new device called PhiCube that helps children with movement problems improve arm and hand function through fun, interactive activities. It may be an option for children with conditions like cerebral palsy or coordination difficulties.

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.
