Hyaluronic acid injection for shoulder tendon pain
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have had shoulder pain from a condition called supraspinatus tendinopathy for at least 2 months.
- An MRI or ultrasound has confirmed the tendinopathy or a partial tear, but not a full-thickness tear.
- Your pain is at least a 4 out of 10, even after trying rest, pain medicine, or physical therapy.
- You have not had a steroid injection in your shoulder in the last 6 months.

This study tests an ultrasound-guided injection of hyaluronic acid (a natural lubricant) into the tendon of your shoulder to see if it helps with long-lasting pain. It is for people with chronic (over 12 weeks) shoulder tendon pain without a tear or calcium deposits, who haven't had help from other treatments.
This trial tests if a hyaluronic acid injection can reduce pain and improve movement in people with shoulder bursitis. You'll get the injection and have follow-up visits over 3 months.
This trial tests if adding a steroid to hyaluronic acid injections can better reduce pain and improve movement in people with shoulder bursitis. You will receive injections and be checked over the next 3 months.
This trial compares taking an oral supplement versus getting hyaluronic acid injections for ongoing shoulder pain due to a partial rotator cuff tear. It aims to see which treatment works better for improving movement and reducing pain without surgery.
This trial tests whether different types of hyaluronic acid (a natural lubricant) injected into the shoulder can reduce pain and improve movement for people with subdeltoid bursitis (inflammation of the shoulder bursa). If you have had shoulder pain for less than 3 months and haven't had a shoulder injection recently, this study might be a fit.
This study tests whether a hyaluronic acid injection (a natural lubricant for joints) can reduce inflammation markers in the knee for people with osteoarthritis. It may be a good option if you have moderate knee pain that hasn't improved with other treatments.
