Testosterone supplement with rotator cuff repair
Treatments studied
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether taking a sex hormone (testosterone) around the time of rotator cuff surgery improves healing after repair. It may help some men recover better, but it only fits people with specific tear features and health conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether using an estrogen patch after rotator cuff surgery helps improve healing and recovery. It is for women who have gone through menopause and are having surgery for a torn rotator cuff.
This study compares a collagen “patch” placed during arthroscopic rotator cuff surgery versus the usual standard repair. It looks at safety and whether the patch improves healing and shoulder function after surgery.
This study tests whether an accelerated (faster) rehabilitation plan after surgery works as well as standard care for people with a large, multi-tendon rotator cuff tear. It may help you recover function sooner, depending on how your tear and health fit the study rules.
This study tests whether injecting your own stem cells (taken from belly fat) during rotator cuff repair helps the tendon heal better and reduces pain. It's for people with a recent, repairable tear who are otherwise healthy.
This study tests if adding a special patch (BioEnthesis™) to standard rotator cuff surgery helps the tendon heal better. You may qualify if you have a tear that can be surgically repaired and you are willing to commit to a year of follow-up.
This study is looking at surgery to repair torn rotator cuff tendons in the shoulder. It may help reduce pain and improve shoulder function for patients with certain types of tears.
