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 study looks at how shoulder blade movement relates to shoulder muscle strength and space in people without shoulder pain. It may help understand early signs of shoulder problems.
This study compares two types of shoulder exercises to see which works better for people with shoulder blade movement problems, often caused by lots of desk work. If you join, you'll do a guided exercise program that may reduce pain and improve your shoulder function.
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 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 study tests a new type of pacemaker that only paces the lower right chamber of the heart (ventricle). It's for people whose heart rate is too slow or irregular and who might have trouble with traditional pacemakers.
