Below are recruiting shoulder instability clinical trials, each written for real people, not researchers. We’re tracking 14 recruiting studies, each written for real people, not researchers, below.
Recruiting studies
- 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+ - 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+ - NCT06963983Recruiting
Virtual Reality Rehab for Shoulder Recovery
This study tests whether virtual reality rehabilitation helps people recover after shoulder surgery. It focuses on three shoulder conditions: instability, rotator cuff repair, and frozen shoulder.
Meyrin, Canton of GenevaAges 18 years+ - NCT07488039Recruiting
Labral repair for shoulder instability with minor bone loss
This trial tests a surgery to repair a torn shoulder socket rim (labrum) in people with recurrent shoulder dislocations and minor bone loss. It aims to restore shoulder stability and prevent future dislocations.
Cairo, Cairo GovernorateAges 16 years+ - NCT05116722Enrolling by invitation
Shoulder pacemaker for abnormal shoulder blade movement
This study looks at a special “pacemaker” device to help with scapular dyskinesis (abnormal movement of the shoulder blade) and posterior shoulder instability (the shoulder tending to slip backward). It may help people who have these movement and stability problems but not certain other shoulder conditions.
Salt Lake City, UtahAges 18–80 - 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 - 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 - 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 - 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 - NCT06920654Enrolling by invitation
Shoulder stabilization surgery study
This study looks at the long-term results of a specific shoulder surgery (Latarjet-like procedure) to treat chronic shoulder dislocations. It aims to understand how well the shoulder stays stable years after the surgery.
DrammenAges 18 years+ - NCT07448584Recruiting
Study of shoulder repair with Lok™ suture anchors
This trial tests how well Lok™ suture anchors work for repairing certain shoulder problems like rotator cuff tears, shoulder instability, or partial tears. It is for people whose MRI confirms the injury and who haven't had prior shoulder surgery on that side.
Valence, Auvergne-Rhône-AlpesAges 18 years+ - NCT07689045Recruiting
Comparing two nerve blocks for shoulder surgery pain
This trial compares two types of nerve blocks for pain control during and after Bankart or Latarjet shoulder surgery. The goal is to see which block provides better pain relief and preserves arm strength.
Cairo, Cairo GovernorateAges 18–65 - NCT07520669Recruiting
Shoulder Surgery to Prevent Too Much Rotation
This study tests whether a surgical technique called capsuloplasty can prevent excessive external rotation (outward twisting) of the shoulder after surgery for recurrent shoulder dislocation. The goal is to help contact sport athletes return to activity safely.
MérignacAges 18–50

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