Recruiting studies
- 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+ - NCT07080892Recruiting
Comparing two ways to give a knee nerve block for pain after knee replacement
This study compares two different ways of giving a nerve block (called iPACK) to see which works better for pain after total knee replacement. The goal is to find the best spot for the injection to help you feel more comfortable after surgery.
BratislavaAges 18–80 - NCT05805774Recruiting
Compare fixing versus replacing a fractured thigh bone
This study looks at the best surgical option for an acute (new) fracture of the lower thigh bone near a stable knee replacement. It compares surgery that “fixes” the bone versus surgery that “replaces” part of the bone to help you walk again safely.
Toronto, OntarioAges 65 years+ - NCT06293352Recruiting
Comparing two antibiotic spacers for knee infection
This trial compares two types of antibiotic spacers for people with a long-term knee replacement infection. It tests whether a spacer made entirely of antibiotic cement or one with a metal core works better to treat the infection before a new knee replacement.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07123805Recruiting
Acupuncture for knee replacement recovery
This study tests if adding acupuncture before and after knee replacement surgery helps reduce pain and improve recovery. It may be an option for people having planned knee replacement for osteoarthritis.
Pavia, PaviaAges 18 years+ - NCT06298721Recruiting
Personalized care to improve knee replacement satisfaction
This study tests a personalized approach to knee replacement surgery designed for people who are at higher risk of being dissatisfied after the procedure. The goal is to see if tailoring care based on patient-reported outcomes can improve satisfaction.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–80 - NCT07276061Recruiting
Outpatient vs. in-hospital knee replacement recovery study
This study compares recovery after total knee replacement when patients go home the same day versus staying overnight in the hospital. It aims to see if outpatient surgery leads to similar or better recovery.
StrasbourgAges 18 years+ - NCT06321042Recruiting
Knee replacement study using sensor-guided implant placement
This study tests whether using small motion sensors during knee replacement surgery leads to better outcomes. It is for people aged 50–84 with severe knee pain from arthritis or bone damage who are scheduled for a first-time cemented total knee replacement.
Bologna, ItaliaAges 50–85 - NCT06080152Recruiting
Wheeled device use after knee replacement
This study observes how people use wheeled devices (like walkers) after a total knee replacement. It helps doctors understand what patients need during recovery.
Redwood City, CaliforniaAges 18–99 - NCT06963320RecruitingPhase 2
Preventing blood clots after knee replacement with H001
This trial tests whether an experimental capsule (H001) can prevent dangerous blood clots after knee replacement surgery. It is for people who are scheduled for a first-time total knee replacement and are willing to take the study drug instead of standard blood thinners.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–74 - NCT06309433Recruiting
Bone density after different knee replacement designs
This study looks at how bone density around a new knee replacement changes over time, comparing two different types of knee implants. It may help your surgeon choose the best option for you.
Bologna, ItaliaAges 45 years+ - NCT06896240Recruiting
Fiber smoothie trial for knee replacement patients
This trial tests if drinking a special fiber smoothie for 2 weeks before knee revision surgery can reduce inflammation and improve recovery. It is for people who are scheduled for knee replacement and have certain chronic health conditions.
New York, New YorkAges 40–80 - NCT05459948Recruiting
Follow-up study for a primary knee replacement
This study tracks outcomes after a standard (first-time) total knee replacement using the GMK SpheriKA implant. It mainly looks at how well the knee works in everyday life, including activity and self-checks over time.
MérignacAges 18–80 - NCT05658796Recruiting
