Ultrasound effect on calcified shoulder tendinitis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests if using Doppler ultrasound to guide treatment can help people with long-term shoulder pain caused by calcified deposits. It may offer a more targeted way to relieve pain.

- You have had shoulder pain that lasted at least 1 month.
- An X-ray showed a calcium deposit in your shoulder.

This trial tests whether a non-invasive treatment called shock wave therapy can reduce pain and improve function in people with calcium deposits in the shoulder tendon. It uses sound waves to break up the deposits, which may relieve pain and help you move better.
This trial tests a new way to classify calcium deposits in the shoulder tendon using MRI, which may help doctors choose the best treatment. It is for people who are having surgery for this condition.
This study tests whether using ultrasound to guide dry needling helps reduce shoulder pain more than dry needling without ultrasound. It is for people with shoulder tendon problems (rotator cuff tendinopathy) confirmed by imaging.
This trial compares different physical therapy combinations for people with shoulder tendonitis (supraspinatus tendinitis). It uses ultrasound and motion tests to see how well the treatments work.
This trial tests if applying an anti-inflammatory gel (diclofenac) with ultrasound therapy helps reduce shoulder pain caused by a common condition called subacromial impingement. The gel is delivered through sound waves during treatment.
This trial tests whether an ultrasound-guided injection of fluid and a steroid (triamcinolone acetonide) into the stiff shoulder joint can help improve range of motion and reduce pain in people with frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis).
