Surgical environment and surgeon stress study
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at how different surgical environments affect the stress levels of orthopaedic surgeons. It compares doing joint replacements the traditional way versus using a robot, to see which approach might be easier on the surgeon.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 65 years old.

- You have experience doing both conventional and robotic hip and knee replacements.
- You do not have a history of brain or nervous system disorders.
- You have not had a serious head injury or any thinking/memory problems.

This study looks at how stress before surgery might affect recovery in people having rotator cuff surgery. You may be able to join if this is your first surgery for a torn rotator cuff and you don't have certain other health problems.
This study checks how stress affects doctors who do heart procedures. You will wear small devices like a smartwatch to track your stress while you work.
This study compares how much stress the surgeon's body experiences during two different ways of performing a partial knee replacement. It aims to see if using a computer-assisted technique is easier on the surgeon, which could improve the surgery for you.
This study looks at stress in surgeons and musicians using wearable brain sensors, body samples, and questionnaires. It aims to understand how stress affects performance and well-being.
This study looks at how surgeons' bodies are affected when they do surgery using standard laparoscopic (small-incision) tools compared with robotic systems. It compares two types of robotic surgery – one for rectal removal and one for prostate removal – to see which method is less physically stressful for the surgeon.
This trial studies whether robotic-assisted surgery can improve or standardize outcomes for people getting a total knee replacement for severe arthritis. It may help by using a robot to assist during the knee operation, but you must meet specific knee and health criteria.
