Shoulder arthritis injection study for ongoing pain relief
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This trial looks at how well medicine given directly into the shoulder joint reduces pain from primary shoulder osteoarthritis. If you have ongoing shoulder pain confirmed by X-ray, you may be eligible to receive an in-joint injection and be followed for response.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
