Recruiting studies
- 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 - NCT07501013Recruiting

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 - 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 - 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+ - 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 - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - NCT07405827Recruiting
Shoulder instability surgery study in France
This study follows patients who have surgery for shoulder instability, like Bankart repair or the Latarjet procedure. It helps doctors learn which treatments work best over time.
Paris, Île-de-France RegionAges 7 years+ - NCT06904768Recruiting
Shoulder sling effect on balance and walking after stroke
This study tests whether using a shoulder sling helps improve balance and walking ability in people who had a stroke within the last 6 months and have one-sided arm weakness. It aims to see if the sling can make moving around safer and easier.
Koropí, AtticaAges 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 - 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+ - 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 - NCT07096622Recruiting
Visual training for kids after lens surgery
This study tests whether special visual and perceptual training exercises can help improve eyesight in children who have had surgery for a naturally dislocated lens (congenital ectopia lentis). It is for kids aged 4–12 whose vision is still below normal after their second eye surgery.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 4–12 - NCT06153121Recruiting
Arm and shoulder tests for healthy tennis players and swimmers
This study is for healthy tennis players and swimmers. It tests a set of physical performance tests for the upper body (arms, shoulders, hands) to see how well they measure athletic ability. If you are a competitive tennis player or swimmer and have no arm or shoulder problems, you may be eligible.
GhentAges 12–40 - NCT07546084Recruiting
Exercise Program for Rotator Cuff Shoulder Pain
This study tests whether a special exercise program that trains you to focus your attention in different ways can reduce shoulder pain and improve function. You'll do exercises designed to help your rotator cuff (the muscles that stabilize your shoulder) while learning to shift your mental focus during movement.
IstanbulAges 18–65 - NCT06693479Recruiting
Using a feedback device to help manage shoulder pain at work
This study tests whether a feedback device can help people with work-related shoulder pain manage their symptoms. You may qualify if you have shoulder pain from rotator cuff issues, arthritis, or rheumatoid arthritis and work full-time.
Québec, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT06883396Recruiting
Looking at why MPFL knee surgery fails
This study looks at why some people's kneecaps keep dislocating after a specific type of surgery (MPFL reconstruction). It aims to find risk factors that might cause the surgery to not work as well.
Redwood City, CaliforniaAges 10–35 - NCT07428070Recruiting
Exercise program for rotator cuff shoulder pain
This trial tests if a specially designed exercise program can reduce shoulder pain related to the rotator cuff. It may help if you've had shoulder pain for more than three months.
IstanbulAges 18–75 - NCT06763601Recruiting
