Recruiting studies
- NCT06818448Recruiting
Comparing rotator cuff repair methods for small tears
This trial compares two surgical techniques for repairing small rotator cuff tears (up to 2 cm). It tests if a newer method helps people recover better than the standard approach.
MechernichAges 18 years+ - NCT04209504Recruiting
Nerve block study for one-sided breathing muscle weakness after shoulder surgery
This trial tests whether a longer-lasting nerve block during shoulder surgery can better manage pain and affect one-sided diaphragm (breathing muscle) weakness. It may help people having planned (first-time) shoulder surgery who are able to follow study pain-checks.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18–80 - 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+ - NCT05603728Recruiting
Follow-up study for Exactech shoulder implants after surgery
This study follows people who get (or already had) a shoulder replacement to see how the implant is doing over time. It may help improve future care by tracking long-term performance and safety.
Laguna Woods, CaliforniaAges 21 years+ - 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 - NCT07005063Recruiting
Rotator cuff repair with FiberLocker patch
This trial tests a new patch, FiberLocker, to help repair a torn rotator cuff tendon. It's for people who need surgery for a full-thickness tear caused by an injury, and aims to improve healing.
Zurich, Canton of ZurichAges 40–65 - NCT04864158Recruiting
Shoulder implant versus exercise program for damaged rotator cuff
This trial compares a shoulder implant (prosthesis) with an active exercise program for people whose rotator cuff has caused shoulder joint damage. The goal is to see which approach helps function and comfort better over time.
Aarhus NAges 60–85 - NCT07255534Recruiting
Digital therapy for shoulder recovery after rotator cuff repair
This trial tests a digital app-based therapy to improve shoulder function after rotator cuff repair surgery. It uses your smartphone to guide your rehabilitation exercises at home.
Seoul, Republic of KoreaAges 19 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+ - NCT06669741Enrolling by invitation
Wearable device for recovery after rotator cuff repair
This study tests whether a special wearable device (Incrediwear) can help you recover faster after rotator cuff repair surgery. It compares recovery outcomes for people who use the device after their shoulder surgery.
Denton, TexasAges 18–75 - NCT06505135Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
Stem cells for rotator cuff tear repair
This study tests whether injecting your own stem cells (taken from belly fat) during rotator cuff repair helps the tendon heal better and reduces pain. It's for people with a recent, repairable tear who are otherwise healthy.
Sønderborg, DanmarkAges 40–69 - NCT06794294RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Stem cell therapy for chronic shoulder pain from partial rotator cuff tear
This trial tests whether a single injection of stem cells from donated umbilical cord tissue can help people with a partial rotator cuff tear that hasn't healed with standard treatments like physical therapy or injections. If you have had shoulder pain for at least 3 months and a partial tear confirmed by MRI or ultrasound, you may be eligible.
Seoul, KoreaAges 19 years+ - NCT06517680Recruiting
Tight Control for Shoulder Tendon Pain
This study tests whether a strict, well-monitored treatment plan works better for recent-onset rotator cuff tendinopathy (pain from the tendons around your shoulder). It aims to see if controlling treatment closely can help you recover faster.
AngersAges 18–65 - 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 - NCT06868108Enrolling by invitation
Rotator cuff repair with flexible anchors: study of healing
This study follows people who had rotator cuff repair using a special stitching system with anchors (FSSA). It checks how well the tendon heals by looking at MRI scans taken about a year after surgery.
Charlotte, North CarolinaAges 18–70 - NCT05447819Recruiting
Shoulder replacement for worn rotator cuff joint
This trial studies a specific type of reverse shoulder implant to improve shoulder function after severe joint wear. It’s for people whose shoulder pain and loss of function did not improve enough with non-surgical treatments and who need shoulder arthroplasty.
Hellerup, DenmarkAges 50 years+ - NCT06735027Recruiting
Steroid shot vs nerve block for shoulder arthritis
This trial compares two kinds of injections for shoulder pain caused by arthritis or rotator cuff problems. The goal is to see which one works better for pain relief.
Minneapolis, MinnesotaAges 18–99 - 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+ - NCT05067543Recruiting
Shoulder replacement study using a new humerus implant device
This study tests a specific device used for shoulder arthroplasty (shoulder replacement) in adults. You may be able to join if you need a shoulder replacement and meet safety checks around infection, bone quality, and allergies.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 18 years+ - NCT04529798Recruiting
Testing outcomes after reverse shoulder replacement with a SMR implant
This study looks at how well a type of shoulder replacement (reverse shoulder arthroplasty) works for people with shoulder arthritis. It may help improve understanding of expected results and safety with a specific stemless implant called SMR.
Basel, Canton of Basel-CityAges 18 years+ - NCT05926622Recruiting
Testing a Medacta shoulder replacement system for pain relief
This trial studies how well a Medacta shoulder replacement works by looking at clinical results and X-ray/scan findings after surgery. It may help people with certain shoulder conditions who need shoulder replacement or revision surgery.
AnnecyAges 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+ - NCT06754657RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing pain blocks for rotator cuff surgery recovery
This trial tests two ways of numbing the shoulder during rotator cuff surgery to see which leads to better recovery after outpatient surgery. It compares a single injection with a continuous pump that delivers numbing medicine for a longer time.
SantiagoAges 18–75 - NCT07448584Recruiting
Study of shoulder repair with Lok™ suture anchors
This trial tests how well Lok™ suture anchors work for repairing certain shoulder problems like rotator cuff tears, shoulder instability, or partial tears. It is for people whose MRI confirms the injury and who haven't had prior shoulder surgery on that side.
