Heat therapy for bursitis: a clinical trial
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether adding heat therapy (hyperthermia) to standard physical therapy helps people with bursitis feel better faster. You may be able to join if you have bursitis, haven't started physical therapy yet, and are generally healthy enough for heat treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with bursitis using an imaging test (like an ultrasound or MRI).
- You have not yet started physical therapy for your bursitis.
- You have not had surgery on the area affected by bursitis.
- You do not have muscle wasting (atrophy) in the affected area.
- You do not have a medical condition that would make heat therapy unsafe.

This study tests whether whole-body heat therapy (hyperthermia) can help people with long-term widespread pain. It looks at how your body handles heat, how your nerves respond, and if heat can reduce pain during movement.
This study tests whether adding heat therapy (hyperthermia) to standard care can help people with carpal tunnel syndrome. It's for people who haven't started physical therapy yet.
This study tests how well emergency room protocols work for treating high body temperature. It is for healthy people who are not taking certain medications or supplements that affect how the body handles heat.
This study looks at how your body responds to heat and tests different cooling methods. Researchers want to understand heat-related biomarkers (measurable signs in your body) and find the best ways to cool down safely.
This study looks at how healthy, active people respond to repeated exercise in hot conditions. It will help researchers understand how your body handles heat and fatigue during demanding physical tasks.
