Laguna Woods, CaliforniaAges 21 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 - 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 - 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+ - 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 - NCT06414005RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
TPX-115 injection for partial-thickness rotator cuff tear
This trial tests an injection called TPX-115 for people with a partial-thickness rotator cuff tear (a shoulder tendon injury that doesn't go all the way through). It may help reduce pain and improve movement if you've had shoulder problems for more than 3 months despite other treatments.
Seongnam-si, Gyeonggi-doAges 19 years+ - NCT06766630RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Silk mesh for rotator cuff tear repair
This trial tests a new silk-based surgical mesh to help repair large rotator cuff tears. It's for people who have not gotten better with other treatments and need surgery.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 50–75 - NCT07219654RecruitingPhase 2
Study of TPX-115 for partial rotator cuff tear
This study tests an experimental treatment called TPX-115 for people with a partial-thickness rotator cuff tear. It aims to see if the treatment can reduce pain and improve function compared to standard care.
La Mesa, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06969625Recruiting
