Shoulder calcific tendinitis treatment study
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to classify calcium deposits in the shoulder tendon using MRI, which may help doctors choose the best treatment. It is for people who are having surgery for this condition.

- You are having surgery to treat calcium deposits in your shoulder.
- You have one or more calcium deposits in the rotator cuff tendons.
- You have not had previous shoulder surgery for any other reason.
- You have not had another surgery for the same calcium problem before.
- Your medical records and MRI scans are complete and available.

This trial tests whether a non-invasive treatment called shock wave therapy can reduce pain and improve function in people with calcium deposits in the shoulder tendon. It uses sound waves to break up the deposits, which may relieve pain and help you move better.
This trial tests if using Doppler ultrasound to guide treatment can help people with long-term shoulder pain caused by calcified deposits. It may offer a more targeted way to relieve pain.
This trial compares two different ways to repair a large, repairable rotator cuff (shoulder tendon) tear. It may help you understand which surgical approach leads to better recovery after non-surgical treatments have already failed.
This study tests whether a strict, well-monitored treatment plan works better for recent-onset rotator cuff tendinopathy (pain from the tendons around your shoulder). It aims to see if controlling treatment closely can help you recover faster.
This study looks at whether certain markers in your body can predict how well your shoulder tendon heals after surgery. It may help doctors know what to expect during recovery.
This study compares two ways to treat a specific type of shoulder fracture (a break in the greater tuberosity) that is also accompanied by a rotator cuff tear. It aims to find the best approach to help your shoulder heal and regain strength.
