Unstable Loads and Shoulder Movement in Overhead Athletes
This study investigates how using unstable equipment (like a wobbly barbell) affects shoulder blade movement and muscle use during overhead pressing in athletes with shoulder impingement pain. The goal is to understand whether unstable loads might help improve shoulder mechanics and reduce pain in overhead athletes.
TaipeiAges 18–40 - NCT07696923Recruiting
Treating frozen shoulder with microembolization or steroid injection
This trial compares two treatments for frozen shoulder: a new procedure that blocks tiny blood vessels (TAME) and a steroid injection. You must have had shoulder pain for at least a month and be willing to do physical therapy.
TaipeiAges 18–80 - NCT06195956Recruiting
Lower body exercise for shoulder impingement pain
This study tests whether lower body exercises (like walking or leg presses) can help reduce shoulder pain from impingement. It's for people with shoulder pain that has lasted more than 6 weeks and who have not had surgery or a major injury.
GizaAges 20–45 - NCT06379997Recruiting
Oral supplement vs. shoulder injection for rotator cuff pain
This trial compares taking an oral supplement versus getting hyaluronic acid injections for ongoing shoulder pain due to a partial rotator cuff tear. It aims to see which treatment works better for improving movement and reducing pain without surgery.
Roma, RMAges 30–80 - NCT06491745Recruiting
Shock wave therapy for frozen shoulder
This study tests whether adding shock wave therapy to standard treatments (physical therapy and a corticosteroid injection) helps people with frozen shoulder recover faster. If you have significant shoulder stiffness and pain, you might benefit from this extra treatment.
TaipeiAges 20–80 - NCT06542666Recruiting
Cognitive functional therapy for chronic shoulder pain
This trial tests a new approach called cognitive functional therapy for people with long-term shoulder pain. It combines mental strategies with gentle movements to help you manage pain and improve function.
João Pessoa, ParaíbaAges 18–60 - NCT06661681Recruiting
Cognitive functional therapy for chronic shoulder pain
This study tests a new type of therapy called Cognitive Functional Therapy (CFT) for people with ongoing shoulder pain. It focuses on how you move and think about your pain, and aims to help you manage better without surgery or injections.
João Pessoa, ParaíbaAges 18–60 - NCT07390396Recruiting
Shock wave therapy plus exercises for shoulder pain
This trial tests whether adding shock wave therapy to standard exercises helps people with chronic rotator cuff tendon pain. If you have had shoulder pain for over 3 months due to a confirmed tendon problem, this might be an option for you.
Minya, Menia GovernorateAges 30–55 - NCT07422714Recruiting
Wearable device system for frozen shoulder rehab
This trial tests a wearable device that guides you through exercises to help recover from frozen shoulder. It is designed for people in the 'frozen' phase of the condition.
BeijingAges 40–60 - NCT07632729Enrolling by invitation
Knowledge of Results Training for Shoulder Pain
This study tests whether giving you immediate feedback during shoulder exercises helps reduce rotator cuff-related shoulder pain. The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons in your shoulder; this trial focuses on people with impingement, bursitis, tendon inflammation, or small tears.
Ankara, SıhhıyeAges 18–35 - NCT05844098Recruiting
Fixing a shoulder AC joint injury with or without extra pins
This trial compares two surgical options for a recent shoulder AC joint injury: one method uses arthroscopy-assisted stabilization alone, and the other adds an extra K-wire (small metal pin) for fixation. The goal is to see which approach leads to better healing and shoulder recovery.
Chon BuriAges 18–45 - NCT05351112Recruiting
Shoulder fracture replacement study for adults using a Zimmer Biomet system
This trial studies how safe and well a specific shoulder replacement system works after certain serious shoulder injuries or failed prior treatments. You may be considered if you need shoulder surgery for complex proximal humerus fractures or related post-injury problems, and you can return for follow-up visits.
SalamancaAges 18 years+ - NCT07611006Recruiting
Shoulder Stability Training With and Without Electrical Stimulation
This study tests whether adding electrical muscle stimulation to shoulder stability exercises helps people with loose, unstable shoulders feel better and move more reliably. You'll do exercises to strengthen the muscles that support your shoulder joint.
TaipeiAges 20–50 - NCT07399834Enrolling by invitation
Studying two surgical methods for shoulder separation repair
This study compares two surgery techniques (using one tunnel or two tunnels) to fix a shoulder separation (AC joint injury). It may help surgeons choose the best method for healing and recovery.
