Study of injected regenerative cells for rotator cuff tears safety
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study checks the long-term safety of an injection made from your own fat cells for people with a chronic rotator cuff tear. It is mainly focused on monitoring side effects and outcomes over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether adding a donated skin graft during rotator cuff repair helps heal large tears better than repair alone. It may be an option for people with a first-time, large rotator cuff tear who have moderate to severe fatty changes in the muscle.
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 trial tests whether injections of your own fat-derived stem cells can help heal a torn rotator cuff (the shoulder muscle that helps lift your arm). Researchers believe these cells may reduce pain and improve shoulder function better than standard treatments.
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 follows up with people who already received an experimental stem cell treatment for rotator cuff disease in a previous trial. It aims to check if the treatment remains safe and effective over time.
This trial tests whether using tendon stem cells during arthroscopic surgery can help heal small to medium-sized rotator cuff tears. It may be an option if you have had shoulder pain or limited function that hasn't improved with non-surgical treatments like physical therapy.
