Comparing two shoulder surgeries for biceps problems
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to treat biceps tendon pain in the shoulder. It checks which surgery gives better results and uses ultrasound to see how the shoulder heals.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have biceps tendon inflammation, a rotator cuff tear, shoulder impingement, or a biceps injury from trauma.
- You are considering surgery for your shoulder problem.
- You do not have a neuromuscular disease that affects your muscles or nerves.
- You are not planning to have a biceps tenodesis (a different procedure).

This study looks at how to treat the biceps tendon when someone is getting surgery for a rotator cuff tear. It may help improve outcomes after surgery and recovery, especially when there is also a supraspinatus tear.
This study is testing a new surgical technique for repairing a torn rotator cuff while also addressing the biceps tendon. It aims to see if adding this biceps procedure improves recovery and outcomes for people with full-thickness tears.
This study compares two surgical approaches for treating a specific type of shoulder cartilage tear (SLAP tear): one that only reattaches the biceps tendon, and one that also repairs the labrum (the cartilage rim). The goal is to see which approach gives better results for patients with moderate to severe tears.
This study compares two ways to fix a specific tendon in the shoulder. It is for people who have a problem with that long tendon but do not have a full tear of the other important shoulder tendons.
This study looks at how well people recover after surgery to fix a torn rotator cuff (a group of tendons in the shoulder) when the biceps tendon is also damaged. The surgery will repair the rotator cuff and treat the biceps tendon, and then you'll follow a rehabilitation program to see how your shoulder works and feels afterward.
This study is looking at surgery to repair torn rotator cuff tendons in the shoulder. It may help reduce pain and improve shoulder function for patients with certain types of tears.
