Recruiting studies
- NCT06532929Recruiting
Recovery after sports surgery with Teknimed products

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 - NCT06905093Recruiting
Exercise types for recovery after shoulder surgery
This study compares two types of exercise for your non-surgical arm while your shoulder recovers from surgery in a sling. The goal is to see which helps you regain strength and motion better.
Toulon, VarAges 18 years+ - NCT07587203Enrolling by invitation
Numbing medication for shoulder surgery and breathing
This trial compares two types of numbing medications (liposomal bupivacaine and standard bupivacaine) given as a nerve block for shoulder surgery. Researchers want to see which one works better for pain relief and causes fewer problems with your breathing afterward.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - 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+ - NCT06866054Recruiting
A block for shoulder surgery pain relief
This trial tests a nerve block to reduce pain after arthroscopic shoulder surgery. It might help you have less pain and recovery time after the procedure.
Istanbul, BagcilarAges 18–75 - NCT07721415Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Iodine drapes for shoulder replacement surgery
This trial is testing whether using iodine drapes during a first-time shoulder replacement reduces infection risk. It is for men who are planning this surgery.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT00527839Recruiting
Shoulder replacement patient registry at a single hospital
This is a non-interventional patient registry that follows people having total shoulder replacement. You help researchers by completing questionnaires, which may improve how shoulder replacement care is understood and planned.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07501468Recruiting
Comparing two breathing devices for shoulder surgery
This trial tests two types of breathing tubes (SafeLM and I-gel) to see which works better for people having shoulder surgery while sitting up. It aims to find a safer way to keep your airway open during the procedure.
Ankara, AnkaraAges 18–80 - NCT07398352Recruiting
Regional anesthesia effects on brain oxygen in shoulder surgery
This trial studies how regional anesthesia affects oxygen levels in the brain and a key artery during shoulder surgery. It aims to find which anesthesia method works best for oxygen supply.
SanliurfaAges 18–65 - NCT07090733Recruiting
Nerve blocks for shoulder surgery: comparing breathing and pain relief
This study compares three different nerve blocks to see which one causes less breathing trouble and provides better pain relief after arthroscopic shoulder surgery. It may help patients who are having shoulder surgery and want to avoid side effects like muscle weakness.
Tanta, El-GharbiaAges 21–65 - NCT06381791RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CBD for pain after shoulder surgery
This study tests if CBD (a cannabis extract) can help manage pain after rotator cuff repair surgery. It aims to find a better way to control pain and reduce the need for stronger painkillers.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06808269Recruiting
Shoulder surgery recovery study
This study looks at recovery after different types of shoulder surgery. It may help doctors understand the best way to care for people after their operation.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT06464770Recruiting
Improving infection prevention before shoulder surgery
This study compares different ways to clean the skin before shoulder surgery to prevent infection. It might help if you are going to have shoulder surgery and want safer, more effective infection prevention.
Seattle, WashingtonAges 18–89 - NCT07474896Recruiting
Nerve-block techniques for shoulder surgery in older adults
This study tests whether certain nerve-block techniques for shoulder surgery can reduce side effects while still controlling pain. It is for people 65 and older having planned shoulder surgery with regional anesthesia.
PoznanAges 65–100 - NCT06765278Recruiting
Nerve block comparison for shoulder surgery pain relief
This trial compares three different types of nerve blocks to manage pain after shoulder arthroscopy. The goal is to find which block works best for reducing pain and improving recovery.
CairoAges 18–70 - NCT07668648Recruiting
Two nerve blocks for shoulder surgery pain relief
This study compares two types of nerve blocks to reduce pain after shoulder surgery. One block is placed near the neck (interscalene) and the other is placed further away (serratus posterior superior intercostal plane block). The goal is to see which works better and has fewer side effects.
Bursa, NilüferAges 18–75 - NCT07394673Recruiting
Nerve block for pain after shoulder surgery
This trial tests a new ultrasound-guided nerve block for pain relief after shoulder surgery. It aims to improve comfort and reduce the need for pain medications.
BursaAges 18–65 - 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 - NCT05917262Recruiting
Mindfulness breathing vs heart-rate training after shoulder surgery pain
This trial compares two non-drug techniques—mindful breathing and heart-rate (HR) biofeedback—to see which helps reduce pain after shoulder surgery. You may be able to join if you have ongoing shoulder pain after surgery and haven’t been using these practices very often.
TaoyuanAges 18 years+ - NCT05675618Recruiting
Returning to Golf After Joint Replacement Surgery
This study focuses on helping people get back to golfing after common orthopedic (bone/joint) surgeries like hip or knee or shoulder replacement. You may be asked to complete follow-up questionnaires to track recovery and return-to-golf progress.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07739303Recruiting
Nerve block comparison for shoulder surgery
This study compares two types of numbing injections (nerve blocks) given before shoulder surgery to see which one provides better pain relief while keeping your diaphragm (the muscle that helps you breathe) working well.
Yenimahalle, AnkaraAges 18–65 - NCT04028401RecruitingPhase 3
Skin prep study to reduce bacteria in shoulder replacement surgery
This study tests whether a specific skin-cleaning method before shoulder replacement surgery can reduce a common bacteria (Cutibacterium acnes) found on skin and deeper samples. It may help lower the risk of infection or contamination during prosthetic shoulder surgery.

- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 51 recruiting shoulder surgery 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 surgery 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 surgery 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.
