Recruiting studies
- NCT04848896Recruiting
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+ - NCT04644952Recruiting
Study of robotic lung segment surgery outcomes
This study looks at people who had a lung surgery called a segmentectomy with robotic assistance in the past. It aims to understand how these surgeries are done over time and what outcomes result for patients.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT04671940Recruiting
Study tumor DNA changes during robot surgery after radiation
This study looks at how a cancer’s DNA changes over time in people who had head and neck cancer treated with radiation and then need robot-assisted surgery. It may help doctors understand why some cancers come back or persist and how to better plan treatment.
LondonAges 19 years+ - NCT04638088Recruiting
Robot or standard surgery for prostate removal
This trial compares different ways of doing a radical prostatectomy (surgery to remove the prostate): robot-assisted laparoscopy, conventional laparoscopy, or open surgery. It may help improve which approach is best for people having planned prostate removal.
AgenAges 18 years+ - NCT04446273Recruiting
Robotic therapy timing to improve arm movement after stroke
This trial studies whether giving robotic therapy to the shoulder and arm in a “priority” way (instead of focusing on the hand first) helps improve arm movement in people with chronic stroke. It may help by improving how your arm muscles and joints are trained to work together.
Taipei, TaipeiAges 20–75 - NCT04309305Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
Robotic brace walking training for people shortly after stroke
This Phase 1 trial tests a robotic exoskeleton device that helps stroke survivors practice walking. It may help you relearn walking safely and see whether the device is workable for your body and needs.
West Orange, New JerseyAges 21–80 - NCT04171856Recruiting
Robotic training to improve movement after stroke
This study tests a robotic rehabilitation program to help improve arm movement after an acute or chronic stroke (and separately studies people with transient global amnesia). It may help by measuring how well patients can learn and control movement during repeated robot-guided sessions.
Yvoir, NamurAges 18–90 - NCT04183803Recruiting
Robot help to set the right position for ACL surgery
This study tests whether using a robot to help place the tunnel during ACL (knee ligament) reconstruction is better or more accurate than the usual approach. You may benefit if you need ACL surgery and your care team has robot experience.
AmiensAges 10 years+ - 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+ - NCT03752775Recruiting
Robotic arm sleeve for stroke recovery
This trial tests a wearable robotic device that helps move your arm after a stroke. It is designed for people with significant arm weakness to improve their upper limb function.
Hong KongAges 18–70 - NCT03065335RecruitingPhase 1
Ketamine plus brain imaging to study response in depression
This early-stage study tests how ketamine given once and then repeatedly may change brain signals and related biomarkers in people with major depression. If you’re eligible, the team will use brain imaging and assessments to see who responds and why.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–65 - NCT03274050Recruiting
Testing robotic surgery for children and adults needing operations
This trial studies how well and how efficiently robotic surgery works in both children and adults who need a procedure where robotic surgery is appropriate. It may help surgeons plan safer, smoother operations and improve operating-room efficiency.
Paris, ParisAges Any age - NCT02570815RecruitingPhase 1
Fluorescent-guided robotic lung surgery for early lung cancer
This early-stage trial tests a robotic lung surgery that uses a special dye with near-infrared light to help the surgeon remove only the tumor area. If you have a small, early lung cancer, this approach may help improve accuracy while limiting how much lung is removed.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT02359812Recruiting
Robot-assisted arm and hand rehab after recent stroke
This study tests whether a robot-guided therapy program can help people regain arm and hand movement after a recent stroke. You may be able to join if you are within a month of a first stroke on one side and have specific levels of arm and hand recovery.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18–85

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.
