Recruiting studies
- NCT06969222Recruiting
Robotic knee replacement study with a special implant
This study tests a robot-assisted knee replacement using a new type of implant designed to move more like a natural knee. It may help people with arthritis or other knee joint problems who need a total knee replacement.
Larissa, ThessalyAges 18–95 - NCT06929871Recruiting
Cementless vs. cementless knee replacement for osteoarthritis
This trial compares two types of knee replacements: one where the implant is glued in (cemented) and one where it locks into the bone without glue (cementless). It is for people with knee osteoarthritis who need a first-time total knee replacement.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT06663384Recruiting
Arvis vs conventional knee replacement study
This trial compares a new ARVIS surgical system to standard knee replacement. It's for adults needing a first-time total knee replacement due to severe osteoarthritis.
Tampa, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07864896RecruitingPhase 3
Study of a new pain medicine after knee replacement surgery
This trial tests a new oral pain medicine called suzetrigine for people who have a knee replacement. It aims to see if it helps control pain after surgery better or with fewer side effects than usual care.
New York, New YorkAges 18–80 - NCT07627854Recruiting
Cold therapy after knee replacement surgery
This study compares two ways to reduce pain and swelling after total knee replacement: a special cold wrap (cryocuff) versus a standard ice pack. You'll help researchers understand which method works better for your recovery.
Kremmen, BrandenburgAges 18 years+ - NCT06891807Recruiting
Robotic vs augmented reality knee replacement
This study compares two advanced technologies for total knee replacement: a robot that uses a CT scan for guidance versus an augmented reality system that uses no scan. The goal is to see which approach leads to better outcomes for patients with osteoarthritis.
Sint-Martens-Latem, Oost-VlaanderenAges 18–85 - NCT07464080Recruiting
Brain imaging study for knee replacement patients
This study uses advanced brain scans to understand how pain and recovery change after knee replacement surgery. It may help researchers develop better ways to manage pain after surgery.
Ottawa, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06955481Recruiting
Navigated knee replacement study for better outcomes
This study tests a computer-guided system for total knee replacement. It aims to see if using the OrthoPilot® navigation system helps improve surgical precision and long-term results.
ŠumperkAges 18–80 - NCT07879014Recruiting
Quiet knee protocol after knee replacement surgery
This study tests a special recovery plan after knee replacement surgery. It aims to see if this plan helps reduce pain and improve movement. You may be able to join if you are having one knee replaced due to arthritis.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18–100 - NCT05461651Recruiting
Preventing knee infections after knee replacement
This study looks at ways to lower the risk of infection after knee replacement surgery (with or without vancomycin, an antibiotic). If you’re a good candidate, you may receive an approach aimed at preventing post-surgery infections and related complications.
Otwock, Masovian VoivodeshipAges 40 years+ - NCT05936593Recruiting
Compare two knee implant positions during robotic knee replacement
This study compares how a knee implant’s components “fit” and move when placed in two different ways during robotic knee replacement. It uses special imaging to see which placement works best for stability and long-term performance.
Zoetermeer, South HollandAges 18–70 - NCT07848126Recruiting
Foam rolling after knee replacement surgery
This study tests whether using a foam roller after knee replacement surgery helps reduce pain and improve movement. If you are having your first knee replacement, this may help you recover faster.
Izmir, BalçovaAges 40 years+ - NCT07840391Recruiting
Recovery after same-day knee replacement surgery
This study looks at how your physical activity, sleep, and knee function change after you go home the same day as your knee replacement surgery. It aims to help you recover better by understanding these factors.
TampereAges Up to 80 years - NCT05516381Recruiting
Navigation-assisted knee replacement with two alignment methods
This study tests a computer-guided technique for total knee replacement and compares two ways of aligning the new joint. It may help improve how accurately the surgery is done, which could affect comfort and function afterward.
BarcelonaAges 18 years+ - NCT07815080Recruiting
Two ways to place knee replacement parts
This study compares two methods of aligning the thigh bone during knee replacement surgery. One method uses a guide inside the bone, the other uses a guide outside the bone. The goal is to see which gives better results and allows for a smoother recovery.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT07672301RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Comparing two anesthesia methods for knee replacement surgery
This trial compares total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) with spinal anesthesia for people having a first-time total knee replacement who are expected to go home the same day. The goal is to see which method works better for recovery and comfort.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07655921Recruiting
Enhanced recovery after knee replacement surgery
This trial tests a special care plan called ERAS to help people recover faster after total knee replacement. It compares this plan to standard care to see if it reduces hospital stay and improves recovery.
Karachi, SindhAges 50–70 - NCT07630896RecruitingPhase 4
Prednisone and blood sugar monitoring after knee or hip replacement
This study looks at how a common steroid medicine, prednisone, affects blood sugar after knee or hip replacement surgery. It aims to find the best way to manage blood sugar for a smoother recovery.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07598539Recruiting
Knee replacement recovery care at UPMC
This study compares different rehabilitation plans after knee replacement surgery to find the best way to help you recover. If you're having knee replacement at a UPMC hospital and plan to use UPMC for your rehab, this trial may be for you.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07522489Recruiting
New knee replacement surgery guidance methods compared
This study compares two ways doctors use computer guidance during robotic knee replacement surgery for severe knee arthritis. The trial tests whether both methods work equally well or if one is better for patient recovery and results.
Warsaw, MazovianAges 18 years+ - NCT07456787Recruiting
Cold therapy after knee replacement surgery
This trial tests a cold therapy approach (cryopressotherapy) to improve recovery after total knee replacement. It may help reduce pain and swelling so you can move better sooner.
Milan, ItalyAges 18–80 - NCT07437469Recruiting
Binaural beats for pain and anxiety after surgery
This trial tests if listening to binaural beats (a type of sound therapy) after hip or knee replacement surgery can help reduce pain and anxiety. You would receive the sound therapy through headphones while in the recovery room.
Miami, FloridaAges 18–99 - NCT07442435Recruiting
Reiki for recovery after knee replacement surgery
This study tests whether adding Reiki (a gentle hands-on relaxation therapy) to standard care helps people feel better and recover more comfortably after a first-time knee replacement. It may be a good fit if you are having your first knee replacement, are not on certain medications, and haven't tried energy therapies before.
SinopAges 18 years+ - NCT07425457Recruiting
Cold nerve treatment before knee replacement surgery
