Recruiting studies
- NCT04809064Recruiting
Compare open vs arthroscopic surgery for unstable shoulder with bone loss
This trial compares two surgery approaches for people with a traumatic, unstable (dislocating) shoulder when they also have moderate bone loss. It may help identify which method restores stability better and with fewer problems for the right patients.
Tempe, ArizonaAges 17–50 - NCT05715021Recruiting
First-Time Shoulder Dislocation Care Study
This study looks at treatment options for people who have had a first shoulder dislocation in the last 3 months. It may help find the best way to keep the shoulder from dislocating again and improve recovery.
Hamilton, OntarioAges 14–40 - NCT06531590Recruiting
New emergency approach for shoulder dislocation
This trial tests a new way to treat a dislocated shoulder in the emergency room. It might help people with a first-time or repeat shoulder dislocation get back to normal faster.
Ankara, YenimahalleAges 18 years+ - NCT07115225Recruiting
Shoulder tests for athletes after a dislocation
This study tests a set of physical tests to see how well they measure shoulder function in people who have had a shoulder dislocation and plan to return to sports. It may help you understand if you are ready to go back to your sport safely.
AntwerpAges 16–55 - NCT02913352Recruiting
Surgery comparison for repeat shoulder dislocation
This trial compares two surgical techniques to stop the shoulder from repeatedly dislocating when there is significant damage to the shoulder socket and “matching” damage to the ball. It may help you if past repair hasn’t worked and imaging shows you have a higher-risk pattern of instability.
São Paulo, São PauloAges 16 years+ - NCT05821517RecruitingPhase 4
Breathing or virtual reality to treat shoulder dislocation pain
This trial compares two ways to help control pain after an anterior (front) shoulder dislocation: methoxyflurane breathing and a virtual reality headset, versus usual pain treatment. It may help some people by making pain control easier during treatment.
NiceAges 18 years+ - NCT06752551Recruiting
Apprehension training vs standard physical therapy for shoulder dislocation in military
This study compares a new type of training focused on controlling shoulder 'apprehension' (the feeling that your shoulder might pop out) with standard physical therapy. It is for military personnel who have had a shoulder dislocation and may help you regain trust in your shoulder without surgery.
Be’er Ya‘aqovAges 18–39 - NCT07644624Recruiting
Sling vs. Dynamic Support After Shoulder Stabilization Surgery
This trial compares two different ways to support your shoulder after arthroscopic surgery to fix anterior shoulder instability (a condition where your shoulder joint slips forward). Researchers want to see which support method—a traditional sling or a dynamic stabilizer—helps you recover better with less pain and better function.
L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, CataloniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05564494Recruiting
Surgery for repeat shoulder dislocations
This trial studies surgical treatment for people whose shoulder keeps dislocating forward (anteriorly). It may help by choosing a surgery plan for the amount of bone loss seen on scans, while excluding people with certain medical or instability patterns.
New York, New YorkAges 16–40 - NCT06261645Recruiting
Exercise program for non-traumatic shoulder instability
This study tests a new exercise program for people with non-traumatic shoulder instability (looseness without injury). It focuses on improving how well your rotator cuff muscles control shoulder rotation.
Gothenburg, MölndalAges 16–35 - NCT05898243Recruiting
Study of injuries after shoulder dislocation in adults over 40
This study follows people over age 40 who have their first traumatic “front” shoulder dislocation to learn what injuries happen and how they can be identified. It may help doctors better understand what to check for after this kind of injury.
Sabadell, BarcelonaAges 40 years+ - NCT07501013Recruiting
Shoulder and knee surgery outcomes study
This study looks at how well different types of shoulder and knee surgeries work for sports injuries. It aims to help improve future care by following patients' recovery after common procedures like fixing torn cartilage or repairing ligaments.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 8–80 - NCT05658289Recruiting
Latarjet vs shoulder bone surgery after front dislocation
This trial compares two types of surgery that rebuild the front (anterior) shoulder bone when there has been significant bone loss. It may help find which operation works better to keep your shoulder from dislocating again.
Halifax, Nova ScotiaAges 16–40 - NCT06154889Recruiting
Rehab program after shoulder stabilization surgery (Latarjet)
This study tests a new rehab program after a shoulder stabilization surgery called Latarjet. It may help you recover better if you have had a dislocated shoulder and need this surgery.
AnnecyAges 18–67

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for shoulder dislocation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 14 recruiting shoulder dislocation 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 dislocation 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 dislocation 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.
