Non-surgical treatment for partial rotator cuff tear
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests a conservative (non-surgical) approach for people with a small tear in the supraspinatus tendon (a rotator cuff muscle) that is causing shoulder pain and sleep problems. It aims to see if avoiding surgery can help improve symptoms and sleep quality.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a small tear in your rotator cuff tendon (less than 1 cm long and not more than half the thickness) confirmed by ultrasound.
- Your shoulder pain has been waking you up or disturbing your sleep for at least a month.
- You are between 40 and 75 years old.
- Your body mass index (BMI) is under 30.
- You are not taking certain medications like antibiotics (fluoroquinolones), sleep aids, antidepressants, or antipsychotics.

This trial tests if an injection of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) can help heal partial tears in the rotator cuff (shoulder tendons). It is for people who have had shoulder pain and limited movement for up to 3 months and have not had shoulder injections before.
This trial tests if adding a combination of platelet-rich plasma (a concentrate from your own blood that may help healing) and a steroid (to reduce inflammation) during arthroscopic surgery improves recovery for people with a torn rotator cuff and a stiff, stuck shoulder.
This trial tests a new approach for people with a partial (not full) tear of the rotator cuff, found on MRI. It may help improve shoulder function if your tear matches the study’s specific size and location rules.
This trial tests an injection called TPX-115 for people with a partial-thickness rotator cuff tear (a shoulder tendon injury that doesn't go all the way through). It may help reduce pain and improve movement if you've had shoulder problems for more than 3 months despite other treatments.
This study tests whether adding special tissue from your shoulder and a blood-derived product during rotator cuff repair surgery helps the tendon heal better and function more normally.
This trial tests whether injecting platelet-rich plasma (a concentration of your own blood cells that may help healing) can reduce chronic shoulder pain. It's for people whose pain hasn't improved with standard painkillers and who have a specific shoulder tendon condition.
