Tizanidine for shoulder pain and function after arthroscopic surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This early study tests whether tizanidine can improve shoulder pain and shoulder function after arthroscopic surgery for specific rotator cuff tendon tears. You may be considered if your symptoms did not improve after about 3 months of standard treatment and rehab.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You had arthroscopic shoulder surgery for a supraspinatus and infraspinatus tendon tear at the study hospital
- Your age is between 20 and 70 years old
- Your shoulder pain and weakness clearly got worse and lasted a while, and standard treatment hasn’t helped much after 3 months
- You can and will join the study voluntarily and you (and your family) will sign informed consent
- You do not have frozen shoulder or other specific shoulder diseases like infection or tumor
- You are able to communicate and complete required questionnaires and study tasks

This trial studies a special patch placed during minimally invasive shoulder surgery to help heal full-thickness rotator cuff tears. It may help people whose tears are large or massive and who already tried non-surgical treatment without enough improvement.
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 a medicine called tizanidine to see if it helps with pain after pelvic surgery. It may help reduce the need for opioids.
This trial tests a treatment for a specific type of shoulder fracture (greater tuberosity fracture) that is displaced (bone pieces have moved apart) and also involves a rotator cuff tear (a tendon injury in the shoulder). The goal is to see if repairing both injuries together helps patients recover better. If you have this type of recent shoulder injury and are generally healthy, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether adding a low-dose muscle relaxant (tizanidine) to your pain plan after surgery can help you safely lower your opioid use. It's for people who have been on long-term opioids and are having surgery at specific hospitals.
This trial tests if an injection of hyaluronic acid (a natural lubricant) can reduce pain and improve function in people with shoulder tendinopathy (irritation of a tendon). It’s for those who haven’t gotten better with other treatments like rest or physical therapy.
