Ultrasound-Guided Injection vs Surgical Repair for Biceps Pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to treat biceps tendon pain: a ultrasound-guided injection versus a minor surgical repair. The goal is to see which method gives better function and less pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You have pain at the front of your shoulder, over the biceps tendon groove
- A physical test (raising your arm with palm up) causes that same pain
- You have not had previous surgery or injections on your biceps tendon
- You do not have a calcified biceps tendon, a torn subscapularis muscle, a deformed shoulder joint, or a torn/dislocated biceps tendon

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 trial tests whether using part of the biceps tendon can help repair a torn supraspinatus tendon in the shoulder. It may offer a stronger option for workers with a common type of rotator cuff tear that hasn't healed with therapy or needs surgery after an injury.
This study tests an ultrasound-guided injection of hyaluronic acid (a natural lubricant) into the tendon of your shoulder to see if it helps with long-lasting pain. It is for people with chronic (over 12 weeks) shoulder tendon pain without a tear or calcium deposits, who haven't had help from other treatments.
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 compares different exercise approaches to treat long-term pain in the biceps tendon of the shoulder. It aims to find which types of movement help relieve pain and improve function for people with certain shoulder conditions.
