Comparing hyaluronic acid injections for shoulder bursitis
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two different types of hyaluronic acid (a natural substance that helps cushion joints) given as an injection to treat shoulder pain caused by subdeltoid bursitis, a common condition where the bursa (a fluid-filled sac) gets inflamed. The goal is to see if one works better than the other at reducing pain and improving movement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had pain in only one shoulder for less than 3 months
- Moving your arm in certain ways (like lifting it out or rotating it) causes pain
- You have not had any shots in that shoulder in the last 3 months
- You are willing to get an injection as part of the study and come back for check-ups
- You agree to avoid taking anti-inflammatory pain relievers during the study (you can take acetaminophen if needed)
- You do not have infections, rheumatoid arthritis, fractures, cancer, or had previous shoulder surgery

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether an injection of hyaluronic acid (a natural lubricant) can relieve recent shoulder pain caused by inflammation of the bursa, a fluid-filled sac near the shoulder joint. You'll receive the injection and have follow-up visits to see how well it works.
This trial tests whether adding a steroid (a strong anti-inflammatory) to a hyaluronic acid (a joint lubricant) injection works better than the lubricant alone for shoulder bursitis. It might reduce pain and improve movement more quickly.
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 trial tests whether injecting a low-molecular-weight hyaluronic acid (Hyalotend) directly into the damaged shoulder tendon, using ultrasound guidance, can reduce pain and improve function in people with chronic supraspinatus tendinopathy. The goal is to see if this injection is safe and effective when other conservative treatments haven't helped.
This study compares how well two different shoulder injections reduce pain from moderate-to-severe shoulder osteoarthritis. You would receive injections in only one shoulder and answer questionnaires about pain and function.
This trial tests two different injectable treatments for frozen shoulder: one uses a steroid plus fluid, the other uses an enzyme called hyalase. Both are meant to loosen the stiff shoulder joint and improve movement.
