Light Therapy After Shoulder Fracture Surgery
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special light treatment (photobiomodulation) applied after surgery helps people recover better from a shoulder fracture. It is for adults aged 18–65 who have a specific type of humerus fracture that needs surgery with a plate and screws.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have a closed (not open) fracture of the upper arm bone near the shoulder, with bone pieces out of place, and you are scheduled for surgery to fix it with a metal plate and screws.
- The fracture must be of certain types (your surgeon can check if it matches the study types).
- You have no prior shoulder or arm injury, surgery, or nerve problems that affect movement or feeling.
- You do not have a condition that makes your skin very sensitive to light, and you have not used anti-inflammatory painkillers within 5 days before the injury.

This study compares starting shoulder rehab early (2 weeks after surgery) versus at the standard time after a reverse total shoulder replacement for a broken shoulder. It aims to see which approach helps you recover better.
This study tests a special light device you can use at home to see if it helps reduce pain and improve recovery after surgery for a broken wrist (distal radius fracture). It compares the light treatment to a placebo (sham) device, so you won't know which one you get.
This trial compares surgery versus non-surgical treatment for a broken shoulder bone (proximal humerus) in adults aged 50 to 65. It aims to find which approach leads to better recovery and function.
This trial compares non-surgical care with two different surgical fixation methods for a displaced two-part shoulder (upper arm) fracture. It aims to see which approach leads to the best recovery and function.
This study compares different ways to treat a common type of shoulder fracture (proximal humerus fracture) in adults. The goal is to find out which treatment works best and helps patients recover faster.
This trial looks at how well a specific metal plate (a proximal humerus plating system) helps heal certain fractures near the shoulder. It may help doctors learn what outcomes to expect after surgery for these types of breaks.
