Shoulder rotation surgery for young children
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a nerve transfer surgery to help children regain the ability to rotate their shoulder outward. It is for children ages 1.5 to 3 years who have a specific shoulder problem called the trumpet sign and have not had shoulder surgery before.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Child is between 18 months and 3 years old
- Child has not had any previous shoulder surgery
- Child has full range of motion in the shoulder (no stiffness)
- Child shows the 'trumpet sign' (a specific way the arm positions)

This trial studies a specialized surgery that reroutes nerves and tendons to help restore hand and grip function after a spinal cord injury. It may help some people regain more useful hand movement if their arm muscle strength and nerve signals are strong enough.
This study looks at how well the shoulder can rotate outward in children who had a muscle transfer surgery (latissimus dorsi) at least two years ago for a birth-related nerve injury. It uses MRI scans to understand movement.
This trial tests whether early injections of botulinum toxin into a baby’s arm muscles can prevent the shoulder from changing shape in infants with obstetrical brachial plexus palsy (OBPP). It also checks that the injections are safe and effective over time.
This trial tests a surgical procedure to help children with cerebral palsy who have difficulty rotating their forearm (turning their palm up and down). The surgery aims to improve arm function and reduce stiffness.
This trial looks at people getting a reverse shoulder replacement, including some revision surgeries (operations done again). It may help doctors better plan care for different shoulder problems by studying surgical eligibility and outcomes.
This study compares two methods of treating chronic shoulder pain by using a needle to deliver a special type of electrical pulse to a nerve in the shoulder. The goal is to find which method provides better pain relief for people with shoulder pain from a rotator cuff problem.
