Recruiting studies in California
- NCT04984291Recruiting
Study of shoulder replacement implants for eligible adults
This trial looks at a specific shoulder replacement implant and follow-up care for people who need a shoulder arthroplasty (shoulder replacement) for certain joint problems or fractures. You may be a candidate if you can take part in required visits and your shoulder muscles and bone are suitable.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 20 years+ - NCT06788717Enrolling by invitation
Study on Hip Revision Stem Performance
This study is checking how well a specific hip implant (the Comprehensive Revision Stem) works in people who need hip replacement. It helps make sure the implant is safe and effective over time.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–100 - NCT06319911Recruiting
Testing a new shoulder replacement implant system
This study tests a new shoulder implant system for people who need their first shoulder replacement due to arthritis or a shoulder deformity. It helps researchers see how well the implant works and if it improves shoulder function and pain.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04238143Recruiting
Knee and other joint arthritis tissue therapy
This trial tests a regenerative therapy made from a patient’s own fat tissue (a “cellular” treatment) to reduce pain and improve function in arthritis-related problems. It may help people with inflammatory or degenerative arthritis changes, if they meet safety and tissue-donation requirements.
Valencia, CaliforniaAges 18–90 - NCT05603728Recruiting
Follow-up study for Exactech shoulder implants after surgery
This study follows people who get (or already had) a shoulder replacement to see how the implant is doing over time. It may help improve future care by tracking long-term performance and safety.
Stockton, CaliforniaAges 21 years+ - NCT05700682Recruiting
MRI-guided artery blockage procedure for long-term joint pain
This study tests whether an MRI scan that looks at blood flow can help target a joint embolization procedure to reduce chronic shoulder, hip, or knee pain. It first uses MRI to find signs of increased blood flow, then may use the findings to guide treatment if you qualify.

What taking part in a shoulder arthritis study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.

- Are there shoulder arthritis clinical trials in California?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 6 recruiting shoulder arthritis studies with a site in California, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a shoulder arthritis study in California?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in California to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in California, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a shoulder arthritis trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
