Recruiting studies
- NCT06435494Enrolling by invitation
Using patient reports to improve shoulder care across clinics
This study tests whether asking patients about their shoulder symptoms using a phone or computer app can help doctors and therapists work together to improve care. It is for adults with shoulder pain that started without a sudden injury.
Gentofte Municipality, HellerupAges 18–120 - NCT06788717Enrolling by invitation
Study on Hip Revision Stem Performance
This study is checking how well a specific hip implant (the Comprehensive Revision Stem) works in people who need hip replacement. It helps make sure the implant is safe and effective over time.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–100 - NCT04003311Enrolling by invitation
Follow-up for specific shoulder implant types and surgery
This study checks outcomes in people who already received certain Zimmer Biomet shoulder implant components using the correct surgical technique. It may help improve how these specific implants are used and monitored after surgery.
Boise, IdahoAges 18 years+ - NCT07651215Enrolling by invitation
Short-Stem Shoulder Replacement Surgery Outcomes Study
This study looks at how well a newer type of shoulder replacement surgery works. Researchers are checking X-rays and patient function for people who had this specific short-stem surgery at least 2 years ago.

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 - NCT04003272Enrolling by invitation
Reverse shoulder implant study for severely damaged rotator cuff
This trial studies a specialized reverse shoulder implant system for people whose rotator cuff is badly damaged or who had a prior shoulder replacement that failed. It aims to reduce pain and improve function by improving how your shoulder works, especially when the rotator cuff can’t do its job.
Louisville, KentuckyAges 18 years+ - NCT06016257Recruiting
Virtual home exercise program for shoulder rehab
This study tests a virtual home exercise program (VirtuaCare) for people with shoulder problems who need physical therapy. It aims to see if doing exercises at home with virtual guidance works as well as standard care.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06920459Recruiting
Zimmer Biomet Shoulder Replacement Study
This study is testing a shoulder replacement system made by Zimmer Biomet to see how well it works for people with severe shoulder problems, like arthritis or fractures. If you qualify, you would receive the implant and be asked to come back for regular checkups to track your recovery.
PforzheimAges 20 years+ - NCT07764354Recruiting
Patient education for sticking with home exercises
This study tests whether extra education helps people with chronic musculoskeletal conditions—like long-term back pain, knee arthritis, or partial rotator cuff tears—stick with their home exercise routines to feel better. If you have one of these conditions and are willing to follow a home exercise plan, this could help you manage pain.
Dammam, Eastern ProvinceAges Any age - NCT07278050Recruiting
Comparing two nerve blocks for shoulder surgery
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks (interscalene and serratus posterior superior intercostal plane block) for pain relief during shoulder surgery. If you are having arthroscopic shoulder surgery under general anesthesia, you may be able to join.
Istanbul, BagcilarAges 18–75 - NCT07125833Recruiting
Cold therapy for shoulder replacement pain
This trial tests if freezing a nerve near the shoulder before surgery can reduce pain after a reverse total shoulder replacement. It may help you recover with less discomfort.
Rockwall, TexasAges 30–85 - NCT07138898RecruitingPhase 2
Managing immune medications for shoulder replacement in rheumatology patients
This trial tests two ways of managing your immunosuppressant medication around the time of shoulder replacement surgery. The goal is to see if one approach leads to fewer infections while still controlling your rheumatic disease.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07245706Recruiting
Shoulder Health After Rehab and Performance Training
This study looks at how shoulder health changes after a rehabilitation and performance training program for people with paraplegia who use manual wheelchairs. It may help you strengthen your shoulders and prevent injuries as you start your life after rehab.
Nottwil, Canton of LucerneAges 18–70 - NCT07429669Recruiting
Comparing shoulder nerve blocks for pain and breathing
This study compares two different shoulder nerve blocks to see which one provides better pain relief after shoulder surgery while also checking how they affect your breathing. If you are having a shoulder arthroscopy, you may be eligible to help find the safest and most effective pain control option.
Yenimahalle, AnkaraAges 18–65 - NCT06363357Recruiting
Shoulder brace study for arm weakness from nerve or muscle diseases
This study tests a fabric shoulder brace that moves like a muscle. It may help people with nerve or muscle diseases improve arm movements like reaching and lifting.
Seoul, Jongno-guAges 10 years+

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for shoulder disease?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 15 recruiting shoulder disease 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 shoulder disease 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 shoulder disease 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.
