Corticosteroid injection for shoulder pain study
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether a standard steroid injection for shoulder pain works differently depending on your specific pain type. It aims to help doctors choose the best treatment for each person.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at whether people with long-lasting shoulder pain also have a condition called nociplastic pain, where the brain and nerves process pain differently. It may help doctors better understand and treat your pain.
This study tests a combination of pain management education and exercise therapy for people with shoulder pain lasting at least 3 months. It aims to reduce pain and improve shoulder function.
This study tests whether dry needling—inserting thin needles into shoulder muscles—can reduce pain in young athletes with subacromial pain syndrome, a common shoulder condition. If you have shoulder pain that limits your sports activity, this trial may help determine if dry needling works better than usual care.
This trial looks at whether arthroscopic subacromial decompression surgery helps people whose “impingement” shoulder pain hasn’t improved after supervised exercises and an injection. It may help if your symptoms match their specific non-responder pattern and you can complete rehab visits.
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 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.
