Metabolic syndrome and shoulder recovery after rotator cuff injury
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at whether metabolic syndrome (a group of conditions like high blood pressure, high blood sugar, extra belly fat, or abnormal cholesterol) affects how well people recover from a rotator cuff injury during rehabilitation. If you have metabolic syndrome, your recovery progress may be compared to people without it to help tailor future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have a rotator cuff tear in one shoulder only.
- You are willing to participate and attend rehab sessions.
- You must not have had shoulder surgery, injections, or physical therapy for this tear in the last 3 months.
- You cannot have other shoulder problems, such as arthritis, frozen shoulder, or a recent fracture, and no major heart, nerve, or mental health issues.
- If you have metabolic syndrome, you need to have at least three of these: high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high triglycerides, low HDL (good) cholesterol, or a larger waistline. Your condition must be stable for at least 3 months.
