Robot-assisted reconstruction using tummy muscle flap after surgery
This trial studies a specific way to rebuild the pelvic floor (and sometimes the vagina) after major rectal or anal cancer surgery. It uses robotic surgery and a flap taken from your tummy muscle to help close and reconstruct the area.
OsloAges 18 years+ - NCT05829343Recruiting
Robotic versus laparoscopic surgery for left-sided diverticulitis
This trial compares robotic surgery versus laparoscopic surgery to remove part of the bowel for left-sided diverticulitis. It may help show which approach is safer or leads to better recovery for people needing elective or delayed-urgency surgery.
Grosseto, TuscanyAges 18 years+ - NCT05832736Recruiting
Robot surgery for one-sided prostate cancer with urethra preserved
This study looks at a robotic prostate operation that aims to remove only the affected side while keeping the urethra (the tube for urination) to help preserve urinary function. It’s for people with low- to intermediate-risk, one-sided prostate cancer and no spread to lymph nodes, bones, or other organs.
Candiolo, TOAges 40 years+ - NCT05841745Recruiting
Registry of robotic heart procedure for blocked coronary arteries
This registry collects real-world information about people having a robotic-assisted heart procedure (PCI) for blocked coronary arteries. It may help doctors understand how well this approach works for different heart conditions.
AalstAges 18 years+ - NCT05853419Recruiting
Robotic procedure for opening blocked heart arteries
This study tests a robotic system to help doctors perform a procedure (PCI/angioplasty) to open blocked heart arteries. You may be eligible if you need this procedure and your anatomy is suitable, and if you can give informed consent.
AntwerpAges 18–120 - NCT05862792Recruiting
Liposomal bupivacaine during robotic throat surgery
This study gives a pain-relief medicine (bupivacaine in a slow-release form) during transoral robotic throat surgery. It aims to see if it improves comfort and pain control around the time of surgery.
Danville, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05867927Recruiting
Robotic gynecologic surgery study for eligible adults
This trial studies robotic surgery technology for women who need a gynecologic procedure and are good candidates for the Intuitive Surgical system. It may help doctors improve how these surgeries are done, and it requires you to follow the study steps and consent to participate.
Hamburg, Free and Hanseatic City of HamburgAges 18 years+ - NCT05892289Recruiting
Robotic stomach surgery study for early cancer near the top
This study checks whether a specific robotic operation (proximal gastrectomy using a double-flap technique) is safe and feasible for early stomach cancer located near the top of the stomach. It may help patients by testing a surgical approach designed to remove the cancer while managing reconstruction and recovery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 20–80 - NCT05902910Recruiting
Robot therapy to improve arm movement after long-term stroke
This trial tests whether a therapy robot (the Luna EMG rehabilitation robot) can improve arm movement and be acceptable to use for people with chronic stroke. It focuses on helping the arm recover function over time and seeing how well patients tolerate the approach.
BrestAges 18 years+ - NCT05960539Recruiting
Robotic training curriculum for young surgeons
This trial tests a robotic training program for newer surgeons. It may help surgeons learn robotic procedures more effectively.
Magdeburg, Saxony-AnhaltAges Any age - NCT05961969Recruiting
Robotic rectal surgery for early-to-mid rectal cancer
This trial tests a robotic, top-down approach to remove certain rectal tumors using an intersphincteric resection (a surgery that preserves bowel control as much as possible). It may help some people with stage I–III rectal cancer avoid a bigger operation and improve outcomes compared with standard surgical methods.
TaipeiAges 20–75 - NCT05974995Recruiting
Robotic or standard surgery for early uterine cancer in obesity
This trial compares robotic-assisted surgery versus standard laparoscopic surgery for people with early-stage uterine (endometrial) cancer and a BMI of 30 or higher. The goal is to see which approach is safer and works better for this group.
RomeAges 18–75 - NCT05980442Recruiting
Navigation vs robotic-arm assisted knee replacement
This study compares two different high-tech tools used during total knee replacement surgery: one that uses a navigation system (OrthoPilot) and one that uses a robotic arm (MAKO). The goal is to see if one method leads to better results. If you're having a total knee replacement, this trial could help your surgeon choose the best approach.
Ulm, Baden-WurttembergAges 18–90 - NCT06038227Recruiting
Robotic vs. VATS surgery for early lung cancer
This study compares two types of minimally invasive surgery—robotic-assisted (da Vinci) and VATS—for people with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. The goal is to see which approach might work better and help patients recover faster.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT06042998Recruiting
Robot vs. laparoscopic surgery for stomach cancer after chemo
This trial compares robotic and laparoscopic surgery for stomach cancer patients who have already received chemotherapy or targeted therapy. It aims to see which approach leads to better outcomes after neoadjuvant (pre-surgery) treatment.
Qingdao, ShandongAges 18–75 - NCT06089915Recruiting
Robot-assisted arm exercise for cervical spinal cord injury
This trial tests a robot that helps move your arms if you have a cervical spinal cord injury. It may improve arm strength and function through guided exercise.
LjubljanaAges 18 years+ - NCT06109324Recruiting
Robotic exercises for sensory and cognitive recovery after stroke
This study tests whether robotic exercises can improve sensory and cognitive abilities in people who recently had a stroke. It may help you regain better function in your daily activities.
FlorenceAges 18–85 - NCT06113380Recruiting
Robot arm therapy for stroke recovery
This trial tests if a robot can help people recovering from a first stroke improve arm and hand movement. It compares robot-assisted therapy to standard rehabilitation exercises.
TaipeiAges 20–85 - NCT06133543Recruiting
Robotic sentinel node biopsy for testicular cancer
This trial uses a robot and a special dye (ICG) to find and remove the first lymph node that might contain cancer cells in men with testicular cancer. It aims to reduce unnecessary lymph node removal while still detecting spread.
DüsseldorfAges 18–99 - NCT06246448Recruiting
Robot vs open surgery for gallbladder cancer
This trial compares robot-assisted surgery to open surgery for people with gallbladder cancer that has been found after a gallbladder removal. The goal is to see which approach is better for the radical removal of remaining cancer.

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.
