Shoulder pacemaker for abnormal shoulder blade movement
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have scapular dyskinesis, meaning your shoulder blade movement is abnormal
- You have posterior shoulder instability, meaning your shoulder is unstable toward the back
- You do not have a rotator cuff tear
- You do not have shoulder arthritis
- You do not have an implanted electrical or electronic device (like a pacemaker/defibrillator)
- If you use wearable electrical medical devices (like glucose sensors or infusion pumps), they must be turned off or you may be excluded

Other trials that look related to this one.
This research study examines how shoulder blade movement patterns relate to shoulder muscle strength and space in the shoulder joint. You may be a good fit if you have shoulder blade positioning issues but no pain, and researchers want to understand these connections before problems develop.
This trial tests if special exercises for the shoulder blade (scapula) can reduce shoulder pain better than standard exercises. It is for people with shoulder pain that has lasted at least one month and who have a shoulder blade that moves incorrectly.
This trial tests a special rhythm-based training program for video gamers to see if it can improve their arm and shoulder stability and reduce strain. If you play games regularly and are generally healthy, this study might help you move better and avoid discomfort.
This study tests a device called a shoulder pacemaker to help with recovery after shoulder replacement surgery. It may help you regain strength and movement faster.
This study looks at shoulder pain and how well the shoulder works in people who have a heart device like a pacemaker. It aims to understand if having the device affects shoulder function over time.
This trial is testing a new type of pacemaker system. It may be an option for adults who need a single-chamber ventricular pacemaker and are generally in good health.
