Robotic arm therapy vs. standard therapy for chronic stroke
This study compares two types of arm therapy for people who had a stroke at least 6 months ago: one using a robotic device and the other using standard occupational therapy (exercises with a therapist). The goal is to see which helps more with arm movement and function.
Florence, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT06738654Recruiting
Robot-assisted scarless breast-conserving surgery for breast cancer
This trial uses a robotic arm through the armpit to remove breast cancer while leaving no visible scar on the chest. It is for women with early-stage breast cancer who want to keep their breast and avoid a scar.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT07405125Recruiting
Robotic surgery for stomach tumors in tricky spots
This trial tests the safety of using a robot to remove small stomach tumors (GISTs) that are in hard-to-reach places. It aims to see if robotic surgery is a good option for you.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT06484374Recruiting
AI-robot guided surgery for large basal ganglia bleeding
This trial tests a new, less invasive brain surgery using a robotic arm guided by artificial intelligence (AI) to remove a large blood clot caused by a hemorrhagic stroke in the basal ganglia. It may be an option for people who can have surgery soon after the stroke and were previously independent.
NanjingAges 18 years+ - NCT06364306Recruiting
Open vs. robotic repair for medium to large belly hernias
This trial compares two ways to repair medium to large ventral hernias (bulges in the belly wall): open surgery (with a cut) versus robotic-assisted surgery (using small tools and a camera). The goal is to see if the robotic approach leads to better recovery.
Kempten (Allgäu), BavariaAges 18 years+ - NCT06348719Recruiting
Robot vs. standard laparoscopy for early endometrial cancer
This trial compares two types of minimally invasive surgery (robot-assisted vs. conventional laparoscopy) for removing the uterus in people with early-stage, low- to intermediate-risk endometrial cancer. The goal is to see which approach offers the best value and outcomes.
LilleAges 18 years+ - NCT07724028Enrolling by invitation
Nerve stimulation during robotic prostate surgery
This study tests whether stimulating specific nerves during robotic prostate surgery helps preserve erectile function. If you are scheduled for prostate surgery and have normal erections now, this research may help improve your recovery of erections afterward.
LjubljanaAges 18 years+ - NCT07627646Recruiting
Robot-Assisted Learning for Nursing Mental Health Skills
This study tests whether learning with a robot helps nursing students improve their communication skills, emotional understanding, and professional confidence in mental health care. You'd participate in robot-based simulation sessions alongside your regular coursework.
DammamAges 17–27 - NCT07405450Recruiting
Robotic walking training for better mobility
This study tests a robotic walking trainer (Trexo) to see if it helps improve walking. It is for people who can safely use the robot and stick to the training plan.
Calgary, AlbertaAges Any age - NCT07747272Recruiting
Nerve-sparing prostate surgery and erectile function
This study looks at how your health before surgery affects your erectile function after robot-assisted prostate removal. It aims to help doctors predict and improve recovery of erectile function.
Florence, ItalyAges 18–75 - NCT07299006Recruiting
Study of a robot to help manage pain during IV placement in children
This trial tests whether a friendly robot named Paro can help reduce pain and anxiety in young children when they need an IV placed. If your child is between 1 and 7 years old and needs an IV, this study may help make the procedure less stressful.
BrestAges 1–7 - NCT07237126Recruiting
Single-port robotic surgery for stomach cancer

Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT07738380Recruiting
Robot-assisted surgery for thigh bone fractures
This trial tests whether a robot can help doctors fix a broken thigh bone (femur) more precisely than standard surgery. If you have a recent, closed thigh bone fracture, this study might help improve your recovery and alignment.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–80 - NCT07738406Recruiting
Robot-assisted surgery for thigh bone fractures
This trial tests whether a robot can help doctors fix a broken thigh bone (femur) near the knee. It may lead to more precise surgery and potentially better recovery.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for robotics?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 465 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.
