Hyaluronic acid injection for recent shoulder pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have pain in one shoulder that started less than 2 weeks ago.
- The pain is worse when you lift your arm out to the side or rotate it inward.
- You haven't had any shoulder injection in the last 3 months.
- You are willing to receive a shoulder injection and come back for check-ups at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months after the injection.
- You can avoid taking anti-inflammatory painkillers during the study; if you need pain relief, the study will provide acetaminophen.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
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 trial tests whether one injection of hyaluronic acid, a substance that helps lubricate joints, can reduce knee pain and improve function in people with knee osteoarthritis. If you have knee pain and are looking for a non-surgical option, this study might be a good fit.
This study tests whether a hyaluronic acid injection (a natural lubricant for joints) can reduce inflammation markers in the knee for people with osteoarthritis. It may be a good option if you have moderate knee pain that hasn't improved with other treatments.
