Shoulder arthritis injection study for ongoing pain relief
Part of Bones, joints & muscles 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.

This study tests whether an injection of hyaluronic acid (a natural lubricant) can relieve recent shoulder pain caused by inflammation of the bursa, a fluid-filled sac near the shoulder joint. You'll receive the injection and have follow-up visits to see how well it works.
This study tests whether injecting a medication into painful knots in the shoulder muscle can reduce pain from shoulder arthritis. It may be a good option if you have had shoulder pain for at least 3 months and other treatments haven't worked well enough.
This trial compares two kinds of injections for shoulder pain caused by arthritis or rotator cuff problems. The goal is to see which one works better for pain relief.
This study compares how well two different shoulder injections reduce pain from moderate-to-severe shoulder osteoarthritis. You would receive injections in only one shoulder and answer questionnaires about pain and function.
This study tests a single injection into the knee joint to see if it relieves pain from knee osteoarthritis. It may help people who have tried other treatments without feeling better.
This trial tests whether one injection of hyaluronic acid, a substance that helps lubricate joints, can reduce knee pain and improve function in people with knee osteoarthritis. If you have knee pain and are looking for a non-surgical option, this study might be a good fit.
