Blood flow restriction for recovery after shoulder surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether using a band to limit blood flow during arm exercises after shoulder surgery helps improve recovery. It may help you build strength faster after a Latarjet procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 35 years old.
- You are scheduled for (or have just had) shoulder stabilization surgery using the Latarjet procedure (a type of surgery to stop repeated shoulder dislocations).
- You exercise at least once a week.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You have not had a blood clot in your leg or lungs, and you do not have heart disease, poorly controlled high blood pressure, blood clotting problems, or hemophilia.
- You have no serious complications within the first 6 weeks after surgery (such as a fracture, dislocation, or need for emergency hospital care).

This trial compares two types of surgery that rebuild the front (anterior) shoulder bone when there has been significant bone loss. It may help find which operation works better to keep your shoulder from dislocating again.
This study tests a new rehab program after a shoulder stabilization surgery called Latarjet. It may help you recover better if you have had a dislocated shoulder and need this surgery.
This study looks at whether limiting blood flow to the thigh after hip arthroscopy (a hip surgery to repair damage) can improve recovery. You may be able to join if you’re a young adult scheduled for first-time hip arthroscopy for certain hip problems.
This study checks if measuring shoulder muscle strength before surgery can help predict whether you will be able to return to your sport after a shoulder stabilization operation called the Latarjet procedure. You will have your strength tested with a special machine, and your recovery will be followed.
This study tests whether a special blood flow restriction device used during physical therapy helps people recover better after ankle ligament repair. You would do physical therapy as usual, but with a cuff on your upper leg that gently limits blood flow during exercises, which may help strengthen muscles more quickly.
This study tests whether adding a special type of exercise (using a band to lightly restrict blood flow in the arm) during recovery from rotator cuff surgery can help reduce pain. It may be a way to improve pain relief without extra medication.
