Total shoulder replacement for arthritis pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests a new total shoulder replacement system to see if it is safe and effective for people with shoulder arthritis. The goal is to reduce pain and improve shoulder function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at how well a specific shoulder replacement implant works for people with worn-out (arthritic) shoulder joints. It also checks how well the implant stays in the right position as you heal after surgery.
This trial compares two ways of doing shoulder arthroplasty (shoulder replacement) for people with advanced shoulder arthritis who have not improved with non-surgical treatments. It may help determine which approach works better for pain and function.
This study compares two types of shoulder replacement surgery for people with arthritis and an intact rotator cuff. The goal is to see which operation works better and is more reliable for your type of shoulder problem.
This trial tests a new shoulder replacement system that does not require a stem (a long piece that goes into the arm bone). It is for patients with severe shoulder arthritis or rotator cuff problems. The study will see how well the device works and how it compares to other treatments.
This study tests a specific device used for shoulder arthroplasty (shoulder replacement) in adults. You may be able to join if you need a shoulder replacement and meet safety checks around infection, bone quality, and allergies.
This trial compares two types of shoulder replacement implants for people with long-standing shoulder arthritis. It tests whether a hybrid design (combining different materials) works better than a traditional plastic design for pain relief and shoulder function.
