New shoulder test for biceps tendon problems
Part of Immune system & allergy, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study is testing a new physical exam test to see how well it can find problems with the biceps tendon in the shoulder. If you have shoulder pain, this test might help doctors diagnose the cause more accurately.

This study compares two ways to fix a specific tendon in the shoulder. It is for people who have a problem with that long tendon but do not have a full tear of the other important shoulder tendons.
This study compares two surgical approaches for treating a specific type of shoulder cartilage tear (SLAP tear): one that only reattaches the biceps tendon, and one that also repairs the labrum (the cartilage rim). The goal is to see which approach gives better results for patients with moderate to severe tears.
This study uses a special ultrasound technique to check the quality of the shoulder muscles that help lift your arm. It may help doctors better understand shoulder problems and guide treatment.
This study is testing a new surgical technique for repairing a torn rotator cuff while also addressing the biceps tendon. It aims to see if adding this biceps procedure improves recovery and outcomes for people with full-thickness tears.
This trial compares different exercise approaches to treat long-term pain in the biceps tendon of the shoulder. It aims to find which types of movement help relieve pain and improve function for people with certain shoulder conditions.
This study is creating a new scoring system to help doctors better diagnose injuries to the long biceps tendon before surgery. If you are planning surgery for shoulder pain that hasn't improved with treatment, this research may help improve how your condition is managed.
