Recruiting studies
- NCT06158646Recruiting
Comparing knee replacement alignment methods
This study compares two ways to align a total knee replacement (mechanically vs. kinematically) to see which leads to better function one year after surgery. If you've had a knee replacement a year ago and are generally healthy enough to walk without major issues from other leg joints or nervous system problems, you might be eligible.
MérignacAges 18 years+ - NCT05928403Recruiting
Compare knee implant types by how well people return to sport
This study compares three types of knee replacement implants to see how quickly and how well people can return to sports. It may help doctors understand which implant design supports better movement and recovery.
BiarritzAges 18–70 - NCT05666986Recruiting
Sports and activity check-in for teens after diaphragmatic hernia surgery
This study looks at how adolescents who had diaphragmatic hernia surgery as babies engage in physical activities and sports. It will use questionnaires and an optional interview by video call to learn what helps or gets in the way—so care teams can better support families.
LilleAges 12–18 - NCT05323474Recruiting
Rehab program after ACL surgery to return to competitive sport
This study tests an “optimized” rehabilitation plan after ACL reconstruction to help people safely return to competitive sports. It’s for people who had an ACL surgery and still want to play sports that involve cutting, pivoting, or contact.
Challes-les-EauxAges 18–25 - NCT05344001Recruiting
Study links past sports injuries and low activity to later health
This study looks at how an earlier sports injury and time spent being inactive may relate to later health problems. It mainly needs specific age groups and either current/former collegiate athletes or non-athlete comparison participants.
Milwaukee, WisconsinAges 18–64 - NCT05218993Enrolling by invitation
Testing a new balance and reaction method for football players
This trial tests a new “dual task” training or testing method for professional football players. It may help coaches and players measure balance and reaction under real game-like conditions.
AnkaraAges 14 years+ - NCT05022459Recruiting
Prevent bleeding in kids with Hemophilia A who play sports
This study compares two ways to prevent bleeding in people with Hemophilia A while they play sports. It looks at whether factor VIII or emicizumab prophylaxis helps reduce bleeding during higher-risk sports activities.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges 6–19 - NCT04840017Enrolling by invitation
Rehab program for balance and walking in flexible flatfeet
This trial tests whether a rehabilitation exercise program can improve balance and walking in children who have flexible flatfeet. The goal is to see if targeted rehab improves posture, stability, and gait (how your child walks).
GdanskAges 7–12 - NCT03380195Recruiting
Watermelon juice study on heart recovery and muscle soreness
This study tests whether drinking watermelon juice affects how quickly your heart rate returns to normal after exercise and how sore your muscles feel afterward. It’s for generally healthy adults and may help researchers understand how diet changes exercise recovery.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 21–50 - NCT03414242Enrolling by invitation
Neck and brain tests after a sports head or neck injury
This study looks at how sports-related injuries may affect thinking and how well your neck moves and feels strong. You may be eligible if you’re an athlete and can do simple neck movement and strength checks.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for sports?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 154 recruiting sports 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 sports 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 sports 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.
