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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had shoulder pain that lasted at least 1 month.
- An X-ray showed a calcium deposit in your shoulder.
- You do not have a fear of needles.
- You are not allergic to triamcinolone or lidocaine.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 uses a special ultrasound (sound waves) to look at your shoulder while you move it, to see if it can find the cause of your pain. It compares ultrasound with MRI to improve diagnosis of shoulder impingement, which may help guide your treatment.
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 uses a special ultrasound technique called elastography, which measures how stiff your shoulder tendon is, to check for damage or tears. It compares this with MRI results to see if it can be a reliable alternative to MRI for diagnosing shoulder tendon problems.
This trial compares two non-surgical treatments—high-intensity laser therapy and extracorporeal shock wave therapy—to see which better improves tendon thickness and reduces pain in people with chronic supraspinatus tendinopathy (a common cause of shoulder pain). If you have persistent shoulder pain from this condition, this study could help find the most effective therapy for you.
