Comparing different hyaluronic acids for shoulder bursitis
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether different types of hyaluronic acid (a natural lubricant) injected into the shoulder can reduce pain and improve movement for people with subdeltoid bursitis (inflammation of the shoulder bursa). If you have had shoulder pain for less than 3 months and haven't had a shoulder injection recently, this study might be a fit.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Shoulder pain that started within the last 3 months and is on one side only.
- Pain when moving your shoulder (lifting arm out to side or rotating it).
- At least one positive test (painful arc, Neer test, or Hawkins test) done by a doctor.
- No shoulder injections of any kind in the past 3 months.
- Willing to receive an injection and return for follow-up visits.
- Avoid anti-inflammatory pain pills during the study (acetaminophen/Tylenol is okay for severe pain).

This trial tests if a hyaluronic acid injection can reduce pain and improve movement in people with shoulder bursitis. You'll get the injection and have follow-up visits over 3 months.
This trial tests if adding a steroid to hyaluronic acid injections can better reduce pain and improve movement in people with shoulder bursitis. You will receive injections and be checked over the next 3 months.
This study compares two types of hyaluronic acid injections (a gel-like substance that cushions joints) for shoulder bursitis pain. It lasts 3 months and may help reduce pain and improve movement.
This trial tests if an injection of hyaluronic acid (a natural lubricant) can reduce pain and improve function in people with shoulder tendinopathy (irritation of a tendon). It’s for those who haven’t gotten better with other treatments like rest or physical therapy.
This study tests an ultrasound-guided injection of hyaluronic acid (a natural lubricant) into the tendon of your shoulder to see if it helps with long-lasting pain. It is for people with chronic (over 12 weeks) shoulder tendon pain without a tear or calcium deposits, who haven't had help from other treatments.
This trial compares taking an oral supplement versus getting hyaluronic acid injections for ongoing shoulder pain due to a partial rotator cuff tear. It aims to see which treatment works better for improving movement and reducing pain without surgery.
