Prehabilitation for rotator cuff surgery recovery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a 'prehabilitation' program (exercises and education before surgery) helps people recover faster after rotator cuff repair. It's for people who are already planning to have shoulder surgery for a torn rotator cuff.

This trial tests a keyhole (arthroscopic) surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff. It may help if you have a full-thickness tear and haven't had shoulder surgery or major injury before.
This trial tests if learning about pain before and after rotator cuff repair helps people recover better. It might help you if you have a medium-sized tear and are planning surgery.
This trial compares starting physical therapy soon after rotator cuff surgery versus waiting longer. It aims to see which approach helps you recover better.
This study tests whether an accelerated (faster) rehabilitation plan after surgery works as well as standard care for people with a large, multi-tendon rotator cuff tear. It may help you recover function sooner, depending on how your tear and health fit the study rules.
This study looks at people with rotator cuff shoulder pain who are starting non-surgical treatments like physical therapy. It aims to understand which factors help people get better, so doctors can provide more personalized care.
This study tests if an extra release of certain tissues during rotator cuff repair can help prevent shoulder stiffness after surgery. It is for people with small or medium tears that can be fixed with a scope.
