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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- 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 tests a treatment for a specific type of shoulder fracture (greater tuberosity fracture) that is displaced (bone pieces have moved apart) and also involves a rotator cuff tear (a tendon injury in the shoulder). The goal is to see if repairing both injuries together helps patients recover better. If you have this type of recent shoulder injury and are generally healthy, you may be able to join.
This study tests whether adding a stomach-protecting medication (famotidine) to common pain relievers helps patients with calcific tendinitis—a condition where calcium deposits build up in the shoulder and cause pain. The goal is to find the best combination to reduce pain while protecting your stomach.
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.
