Hyaluronic acid injection for shoulder tendon pain
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles 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 trial tests whether injecting a low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid (Hyalotend) directly into the damaged shoulder tendon, using ultrasound guidance, can reduce pain and improve function in people with chronic supraspinatus tendinopathy. The goal is to see if this injection is safe and effective when other conservative treatments haven't helped.
This study tests whether an injection of hyaluronic acid (a natural lubricant) can relieve recent shoulder pain caused by inflammation of the bursa, a fluid-filled sac near the shoulder joint. You'll receive the injection and have follow-up visits to see how well it works.
This trial tests whether adding a steroid (a strong anti-inflammatory) to a hyaluronic acid (a joint lubricant) injection works better than the lubricant alone for shoulder bursitis. It might reduce pain and improve movement more quickly.
This study compares two different types of hyaluronic acid (a natural substance that helps cushion joints) given as an injection to treat shoulder pain caused by subdeltoid bursitis, a common condition where the bursa (a fluid-filled sac) gets inflamed. The goal is to see if one works better than the other at reducing pain and improving movement.
This trial tests whether one injection of hyaluronic acid, a substance that helps lubricate joints, can reduce knee pain and improve function in people with knee osteoarthritis. If you have knee pain and are looking for a non-surgical option, this study might be a good 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.
