Two types of nerve treatment for chronic shoulder pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two methods of treating chronic shoulder pain by using a needle to deliver a special type of electrical pulse to a nerve in the shoulder. The goal is to find which method provides better pain relief for people with shoulder pain from a rotator cuff problem.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests two different lengths of a treatment called pulsed radiofrequency on a nerve in the shoulder to see which works better for people with shoulder impingement syndrome or tendon problems that have not improved with other treatments.
This trial tests a treatment called suprascapular radiofrequency ablation (a targeted heat procedure) to help relieve shoulder pain after a stroke. It is for people who have had a stroke at least 3 months ago and still have severe shoulder pain.
This study compares two different shoulder nerve blocks to see which one provides better pain relief after shoulder surgery while also checking how they affect your breathing. If you are having a shoulder arthroscopy, you may be eligible to help find the safest and most effective pain control option.
This study tests whether a nerve block (an injection to numb a nerve in the shoulder) can improve recovery after rotator cuff repair surgery. It is for people who recently had this surgery and have no other problems with their shoulder or health that might affect the results.
This study compares two types of nerve treatments (radiofrequency with hydrodissection) for people with frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis). It aims to see which approach better relieves pain and helps you regain shoulder movement.
This study tests two types of nerve blocks for frozen shoulder. It will see if one works better than the other to improve movement and reduce pain.
