Comparing two hyaluronic acid injections for shoulder bursitis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two types of hyaluronic acid injections (a gel-like substance that cushions joints) for shoulder bursitis pain. It lasts 3 months and may help reduce pain and improve movement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with subdeltoid bursitis (inflammation of the shoulder bursa).
- You are at least 20 years old.
- Your shoulder hurts when lifting your arm or rotating it (a test called the painful arc, Neer test, or Hawkins test).
- You can make it to clinic visits for 3 months of treatment and follow-up.
- You have not had cancer, and you haven't had surgery, injury, or any injections in that shoulder in the last 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 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.
This study tests whether a single injection of hyaluronic acid (a gel-like substance that helps lubricate the joint) can safely reduce knee pain from osteoarthritis. It is for people with knee pain that has lasted at least 4 weeks and who are willing to stop other pain medications during the study.
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 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 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.
