Compare pain relief from two shoulder injections for arthritis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have confirmed moderate-to-severe primary shoulder osteoarthritis (not mild arthritis)
- You are between 20 and 90 years old
- Your shoulder pain is at least 4 out of 10 on a pain scale
- You can read and complete study questionnaires, and you can answer in French or English
- You choose one shoulder (if both shoulders are affected, you only join for one side)

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 different doses of injected cortisone (triamcinolone) directly into the knee to see which dose helps knee osteoarthritis pain most. You may be enrolled in a group receiving a 5 mg, 10 mg, or 40 mg dose if you meet the study’s knee and health requirements.
This trial tests whether adding a steroid (a strong anti-inflammatory) to a hyaluronic acid (a joint lubricant) injection works better than the lubricant alone for shoulder bursitis. It might reduce pain and improve movement more quickly.
This study compares two different types of hyaluronic acid (a natural substance that helps cushion joints) given as an injection to treat shoulder pain caused by subdeltoid bursitis, a common condition where the bursa (a fluid-filled sac) gets inflamed. The goal is to see if one works better than the other at reducing pain and improving movement.
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.
This study compares two ways of injecting a steroid medication into arthritic knees: using landmark guidance (traditional method) with a higher dose versus ultrasound guidance (imaging) with a lower dose. The goal is to see which approach works better to reduce knee pain and improve function.
