LimogesAges 35–75 - 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 - NCT05926596Recruiting
Leg stretching with an on-demand exoskeleton for spasticity
This trial studies whether a wearable exoskeleton that helps with leg stretching can reduce stiffness and improve movement in people with spasticity after a spinal cord injury. It may help you stretch more safely and comfortably, but you must meet specific health and device-wear requirements.
Syracuse, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05921175Recruiting
Stimulation and robotic walking training for incomplete spinal injuries
This trial tests whether gentle electrical stimulation of the spinal area plus robotic gait training can improve walking function in people with a traumatic spinal cord injury who are not walking independently. It’s meant for people with incomplete injuries where some nerve signals still work, and who can safely use the robotic exoskeleton.
Singapore, SingaporeAges 21–65 - NCT05899153Recruiting
Gait training with feedback for children with cerebral palsy
This trial tests whether walking practice with real-time feedback (“biofeedback”) can improve how people with cerebral palsy move their legs. It’s designed to help with safer, more efficient walking during treadmill training.
Saint Paul, MinnesotaAges 7–18 - NCT05848297Recruiting
Robotic ultrasound monitoring for severe traumatic brain injury
This trial tests whether a robotic system using a bedside ultrasound test (TCD) can safely monitor brain blood flow in adults with severe traumatic brain injury soon after the injury. It may help the care team track changes earlier and adjust treatment sooner.
Davis, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05842044RecruitingPhase 2
NSAID pain medicine after robotic kidney-sparing surgery
This Phase 2 study looks at whether taking an anti-inflammatory pain medicine (an NSAID) after robotic partial nephrectomy is safe and helpful. It may reduce pain while checking for stomach, bleeding, and heart-related side effects after kidney-sparing surgery.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–99 - NCT05753046Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Nerve-block during robotic prostate surgery to reduce pain
This trial studies whether a laparoscopic nerve block (called a TAP block) given during robotic prostate surgery can reduce postoperative pain. It compares comfort after surgery and looks for side effects or issues that could affect results.
Royal Oak, MichiganAges 18 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 - NCT03764852Recruiting
Tests outpatient surgery for pelvic organ prolapse with double mesh
This study checks whether an outpatient (same-day) approach to a specific prolapse repair surgery is safe and practical, using a double-mesh method with or without robotic help. You may be offered the surgery under guidance of the study team if you meet the health and medical safety criteria.
ClamartAges 40–80 - NCT05652361Recruiting
AI guidance system for robotic rectal cancer surgery
This trial tests a machine-learning (AI) system that may help guide surgeons during robotic rectal cancer operations. It’s meant to support safer, more accurate surgery while comparing outcomes to standard surgical guidance.
Dresden, SaxonyAges 18 years+ - NCT05610852Recruiting
Surgery through the bladder opening versus focused ultrasound for prostate cancer
This trial compares two ways to treat early prostate cancer: a single small surgery through the bladder versus high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU). It aims to see which approach works better while keeping side effects and recovery acceptable.
Cleveland, OhioAges 19 years+ - NCT05472987Recruiting
Robotic vs open surgery for a ventral hernia
This trial compares robotic surgery versus the standard open approach to repair a ventral hernia. It may help determine which method works best and is safer or easier for the right patients.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05351229RecruitingPhase 4
Spinal morphine for pain control after lung surgery
This trial tests whether putting morphine into the spinal area during lung surgery can reduce pain after surgery for people having certain minimally invasive lung operations. It aims to improve comfort and possibly reduce the need for other pain medicines.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–80 - NCT05345158Recruiting
Robotic surgery first for early-stage seminoma testicular cancer
This trial studies whether a robotic operation (removing cancerous lymph nodes in the back of the belly) is a good first treatment for certain early-stage testicular seminoma cases. It aims to cure cancer while avoiding or delaying other treatments, and uses follow-up plans to check results.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05290818Recruiting
Robotic vs standard knee replacement for inner-joint wear
This trial compares robotic-assisted knee replacement with the usual (non-robotic) approach for people with severe arthritis on the inner (medial) side of the knee. It aims to see which method works better for pain and function while matching the right knee anatomy for certain implant types.
Edinburgh, LothianAges 50–75 - NCT05245812Recruiting
Robotic nipple-sparing mastectomy safety and feasibility study
This trial looks at whether a robotic technique for nipple-sparing mastectomy is safe and practical to do. It may help your care team understand whether this approach works well for people who are candidates for nipple-sparing surgery.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–80 - 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 - NCT04784832Recruiting
Brain-magnetic training study to improve movement learning
This study tests whether a brain-magnetic (TMS) training approach can improve how people learn and control movements. It’s done in healthy adults to understand how mental training affects motor learning.
DijonAges 18–60 - NCT04831580Recruiting
Robotic vs open hysterectomy for early cervix cancer
This trial compares robotic surgery to open (traditional) surgery for women with early-stage cervix cancer. The goal is to see which approach is safer and works better for cancer control and recovery.
Goodyear, ArizonaAges 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 - NCT04801108Recruiting
Lung valve treatment for emphysema with specific lung anatomy
This trial tests a one-way lung valve system to reduce over-inflated lung areas in people with emphysema. It’s aimed at patients whose lung scans suggest they may benefit from “fissure completion” to improve airflow.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 40–75 - NCT04779918Recruiting
Robotic hernia repair using OviTex implant mesh
This trial studies whether using a specific implant “mesh” (OviTex) during robotic hernia surgery helps patients heal well and report less pain and better quality of life over time. It may be an option if you have a ventral or inguinal hernia planned for elective robotic repair.

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.
