Looking for who may develop shoulder pain from silent tears
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at risk factors that predict when an “asymptomatic” (painless) rotator cuff tear might start causing symptoms. You may benefit by getting careful assessment and monitoring of your shoulder health over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 55 years old or older
- You have a rotator cuff tear that was diagnosed by an ultrasound test done by a doctor
- Your shoulder pain level is low (average pain score under 3 out of 10) during daily activities
- You currently have no shoulder problems that significantly affect your daily life
- You have not had recent shoulder injury or trauma

This study looks at how genes and risk factors relate to rotator cuff tears by comparing people with and without these tears. It may help researchers understand why tears happen and who is most at risk.
This study compares two physical therapy rehab plans to see which helps people recover better after a severe, irreparable rotator cuff tear. It may help you find the pace of rehab that works best for your shoulder and daily function.
This study looks at how patients who had rotator cuff repair surgery between 2010 and 2014 are doing now, including their shoulder function and x-ray results. It helps doctors understand long-term outcomes and when more surgery like reverse shoulder replacement may be needed.
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 study looks at how people with rotator cuff shoulder pain are cared for, to improve care for this common problem. It is for people who recently saw a doctor for this pain.
This study looks at genetic (inherited) factors that may make some people more likely to develop rotator cuff tears. You may be able to join if you’ve had a shoulder MRI for pain or you’re a close family member of someone with a documented tear.
