Pyrocarbon hemiarthroplasty vs total shoulder replacement for osteoarthritis
This study compares two types of shoulder replacement surgery for people with osteoarthritis: one that replaces only the ball of the joint (hemiarthroplasty with a pyrocarbon ball) and one that replaces both the ball and socket (total shoulder arthroplasty). The goal is to see which option works better for people with this condition.
St Louis, MissouriAges 40–65 - NCT07744542Enrolling by invitation
Physical therapy for shoulder arthritis pain
This study tests if a specific physical therapy program can help people with shoulder arthritis (wear-and-tear in the shoulder joint) feel better and move more easily without surgery. It may help you if you have this type of arthritis and have not tried physical therapy recently.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04228419Recruiting
Shoulder replacement approach comparison for advanced shoulder arthritis
This trial compares two ways of doing shoulder arthroplasty (shoulder replacement) for people with advanced shoulder arthritis who have not improved with non-surgical treatments. It may help determine which approach works better for pain and function.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 65 years+ - NCT05675527RecruitingPhase 4
Platelet gel (PRP) for shoulder arthritis pain
This trial tests whether platelet-rich plasma (PRP), a blood-based treatment, can reduce pain from shoulder (glenohumeral) osteoarthritis. It also looks at whether PRP works for people who had temporary relief from a numbing/shock injection into the joint.
New York, New YorkAges 18–100 - NCT04949087Recruiting
Shoulder arthritis injection study for ongoing pain relief
This trial looks at how well medicine given directly into the shoulder joint reduces pain from primary shoulder osteoarthritis. If you have ongoing shoulder pain confirmed by X-ray, you may be eligible to receive an in-joint injection and be followed for response.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06292169Recruiting
Comparing two ways to release a muscle in reverse shoulder replacement
This trial tests if releasing a small chest muscle (the pectoralis minor) during reverse total shoulder replacement leads to better recovery or pain relief compared to not releasing it.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT07678034Recruiting
Long-term safety study of Tipmed shoulder replacement system
This study checks how safe and effective the Tipmed shoulder replacement system is over time. It is for people who already had this specific shoulder implant during surgery.
BalıkesirAges 18 years+ - NCT07520721Recruiting
Shoulder Replacement Materials: Plastic vs Hybrid Implants
This trial compares two types of shoulder replacement implants for people with long-standing shoulder arthritis. It tests whether a hybrid design (combining different materials) works better than a traditional plastic design for pain relief and shoulder function.
Hoofddorp, North HollandAges 18 years+ - NCT07558590Recruiting
Shoulder Replacement System Recovery and Function Study
This study follows patients who have received a new shoulder replacement device to see how well it works and how patients recover. Researchers will collect information about your shoulder function and satisfaction over time.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT02966886Recruiting
Shoulder replacement techniques for advanced shoulder arthritis
This study compares different surgical techniques during shoulder replacement for people with advanced shoulder (glenohumeral) arthritis. It may help surgeons choose the approach that best restores function and reduces pain.
Ottawa, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT06154694Recruiting
Shoulder joint patterns in arthritis patients
This study looks at how shoulder arthritis affects joint movement patterns. It compares patients with arthritis, healthy volunteers, and people who had a shoulder replacement that later needed a revision.
Leuven, Vlaams-BrabantAges 18 years+ - NCT04468178Recruiting
Testing a new shoulder implant and checking its position over time
This study looks at how well a specific shoulder replacement implant works for people with worn-out (arthritic) shoulder joints. It also checks how well the implant stays in the right position as you heal after surgery.
Hanover, Lower SaxonyAges 18–80

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for glenohumeral osteoarthritis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 12 recruiting glenohumeral osteoarthritis 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 glenohumeral osteoarthritis 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 glenohumeral osteoarthritis 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.
