BaselAges 18 years+ - NCT05848375Recruiting
Rotator cuff surgery done with special anesthesia alone
This trial studies rotator cuff repair surgery when the surgeon uses a regional anesthesia method (numbing the arm area) rather than general anesthesia alone. It may help people with certain types of rotator cuff tendon injuries who are good candidates for outpatient surgery and this anesthesia approach.
NantesAges 18 years+ - NCT06960343Recruiting
Shoulder repair with fat tissue for better healing
This trial tests whether adding a small amount of your own fat tissue to standard shoulder surgery helps the torn tendons heal better and last longer. It is for people with a full-thickness tear of the supraspinatus and infraspinatus tendons that needs arthroscopic repair.
Milan, ItalyAges 18 years+ - NCT07375277Recruiting
Biceps tendon transfer for large rotator cuff tears
This study tests a new surgical technique that uses your biceps tendon to help repair a large rotator cuff tear. It may be an option if you have not improved after at least 3 months of other treatments.
BalıkesirAges 18 years+ - NCT06969625Recruiting
Shoulder Block for Pain Relief After Rotator Cuff Surgery
This study tests a special numbing injection (shoulder block) to see how well it controls pain after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. If you are having this type of shoulder surgery and are generally healthy, this trial may help you recover with less pain.
Zagazig, Al SharqiaAges 21–65 - NCT06817616Recruiting
Rotator cuff repair with stem cells for large shoulder tears
This trial tests whether adding umbilical cord stem cells to standard arthroscopic rotator cuff repair helps heal large or massive tears better. It may be an option if you have had shoulder pain for at least three months and other treatments haven't worked.
Seoul, KoreaAges 19 years+ - NCT07093905Recruiting
Comparing two anesthetics for rotator cuff repair surgery
This study compares two types of anesthesia (numbing medicine) for rotator cuff repair surgery. It will help find which method works better for pain control and recovery.
MarseilleAges 18 years+ - NCT03617562Recruiting
Compare two surgeries for large rotator cuff tears
This trial compares two different operations to treat large, hard-to-repair rotator cuff tears. If your tear is too damaged to be repaired in the usual way, the study tests whether one surgical approach may work better than a partial repair.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–65 - NCT07076069RecruitingPhase 4
Rotator cuff repair pain study: fewer narcotics
This trial tests a mix of pain medicines (multimodal regimen) to see if it reduces the need for strong narcotics after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. If you have a torn rotator cuff that hasn't healed with other treatments and you are scheduled for surgery, you may be able to join.
The Bronx, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05095909Recruiting
Frozen compression at intervals vs regular icing after shoulder surgery
This trial tests whether using a special device that gives cold in pulses (intermittent cryo-compression) helps the shoulder feel better after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair compared with traditional icing. It may help with pain and recovery during the early healing period after surgery.
Plymouth, MinnesotaAges 18–70 - NCT05102968Recruiting
App-based home rehab after shoulder arthroscopy
This study tests whether using a communication app to help you do home rehabilitation after arthroscopic shoulder surgery improves recovery and function. If you have a small to medium full-thickness rotator cuff tear (or certain subscapularis tears) and can commit to follow-up for two years, you may be eligible.
Kaohsiung CityAges 20–70 - NCT05439850RecruitingPhase 4
Bioinductive patch for severe torn shoulder tendons
This trial studies a special patch placed during minimally invasive shoulder surgery to help heal full-thickness rotator cuff tears. It may help people whose tears are large or massive and who already tried non-surgical treatment without enough improvement.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT05894265Recruiting
Test collagen patch versus standard care after rotator cuff repair
This study compares a collagen “patch” placed during arthroscopic rotator cuff surgery versus the usual standard repair. It looks at safety and whether the patch improves healing and shoulder function after surgery.
Houston, TexasAges 18–80 - NCT05997381Recruiting
BioBrace implant for rotator cuff tear repair
This study tests a new implant called BioBrace to help repair full-thickness rotator cuff tears during shoulder surgery. It may be a good option if you have a moderate-sized tear, have already tried non-surgical treatments, and are between 40 and 70 years old.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 40–70 - NCT06076902Recruiting
Patch study for large rotator cuff tear repair
This study tests whether adding a patch to standard rotator cuff repair helps large tears heal better. It's for adults who need their first surgery for a tear involving at least two tendons.
Frauenfeld, ThurgauAges 30–75 - NCT06272786Recruiting
Nerve Block for Recovery After Rotator Cuff Surgery
This study tests whether a nerve block (an injection to numb a nerve in the shoulder) can improve recovery after rotator cuff repair surgery. It is for people who recently had this surgery and have no other problems with their shoulder or health that might affect the results.
Kirşehir, City CentreAges 18–65 - NCT06918041Recruiting
FiberLocker device to strengthen rotator cuff tear repair
This study tests a device called FiberLocker® that strengthens the repair of a torn rotator cuff tendon during keyhole surgery. It may help the tendon heal better or faster than standard surgery alone.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 30–70 - NCT06644729Recruiting
Shoulder surgery long-term study
This study looks at how patients who had rotator cuff repair surgery between 2010 and 2014 are doing now, including their shoulder function and x-ray results. It helps doctors understand long-term outcomes and when more surgery like reverse shoulder replacement may be needed.
OsloAges 18–95 - NCT06774820Recruiting
Biceps tendon surgery alongside rotator cuff repair study
This study is testing a new surgical technique for repairing a torn rotator cuff while also addressing the biceps tendon. It aims to see if adding this biceps procedure improves recovery and outcomes for people with full-thickness tears.
AnnecyAges 40 years+ - NCT06744218Recruiting
Remote rehab after rotator cuff surgery
This study tests if doing physical therapy at home via video calls works as well as going to a clinic after rotator cuff repair surgery. It may help you recover more conveniently.
Lagosanto, FerraraAges 40–70 - NCT06857084Recruiting
Rotator cuff repair with REGENETEN implant study
This study tracks how well patients recover after rotator cuff repair surgery using the REGENETEN bioinductive implant. It aims to see if the implant helps improve healing and outcomes.
