Tizanidine after shoulder surgery for rotator cuff tears
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether tizanidine, a muscle relaxant, helps reduce pain and improve shoulder function after arthroscopic surgery for rotator cuff tears. It may be an option if you have persistent shoulder pain and weakness despite prior treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 70 years old.
- You have a tear in the supraspinatus or infraspinatus tendon (part of the rotator cuff) and have had shoulder arthroscopic surgery.

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 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 suzetrigine, a new non-opioid pain medicine, can control pain after rotator cuff surgery better than usual care. It may help reduce the need for opioids after surgery.
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 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 study tests whether taking a muscle relaxant called tizanidine before leg surgery improves pain control and sleep quality after the operation. It may help you recover more comfortably.
