Two methods for putting a dislocated shoulder back in place
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial compares two techniques used in the emergency room to gently guide a dislocated shoulder back into its normal position. It aims to see which method is quicker and less painful for patients with a simple shoulder dislocation.

This study looks at treatment options for people who have had a first shoulder dislocation in the last 3 months. It may help find the best way to keep the shoulder from dislocating again and improve recovery.
This study compares two approaches for teenagers who have had a first-time shoulder dislocation: one is early surgery to stabilize the shoulder, and the other is a rehabilitation (physical therapy) program. The goal is to see which approach leads to better long-term recovery and lower risk of future dislocations.
This trial tests a keyhole (arthroscopic) operation to help people with repeated front shoulder dislocations and small amounts of bone damage. It aims to improve stability and reduce pain for those who haven't improved with other treatments.
This trial compares two surgery techniques for a severe shoulder separation (acromioclavicular joint injury). Both methods repair the torn ligaments, but one also uses a temporary pin to keep the joint in place while healing. The goal is to see which approach gives better shoulder function and recovery.
This trial compares non-surgical care with two different surgical fixation methods for a displaced two-part shoulder (upper arm) fracture. It aims to see which approach leads to the best recovery and function.
This study compares different surgical techniques to fix a shoulder that keeps dislocating forward. It aims to find the best approach to stabilize the joint and reduce future dislocations.
