Testing a new clinical exam for biceps shoulder injuries
Part of Immune system & allergy, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study evaluates a new physical examination technique to diagnose biceps tendon problems in the shoulder. Researchers will compare this new test to standard imaging (like MRI) to see if it's reliable and accurate.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age between 18 and 70 years old
- Shoulder pain that might be related to biceps tendon problems
- Willing to undergo physical examination and possibly MRI imaging
- No major shoulder surgery in the past 6 months
- No unstable shoulder or risk of dislocation
- No systemic joint diseases like rheumatoid arthritis

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 trial compares two surgeries for a specific type of shoulder tear (SLAP type II to IV). One surgery fixes the biceps tendon, the other also repairs the labrum (the cartilage ring around the shoulder socket). It aims to see which approach gives better results.
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 looks at the thickness of forearm muscles and tendons in people with shoulder pain caused by rotator cuff problems, compared to people without shoulder pain. The goal is to see if there are differences that could help with diagnosis or treatment.
This study looks at how to treat the biceps tendon when someone is getting surgery for a rotator cuff tear. It may help improve outcomes after surgery and recovery, especially when there is also a supraspinatus tear.
