Active clinical trials for "Rotator Cuff Injuries"

The aim of this multicenter non-controlled study will be to evaluate the effectiveness of a physical therapy treatment based on resistance exercise and education for patients with massive rotator cuff tears.

The objective of the trial is to investigate the efficacy of the Bridge device in reducing post-operative pain and post-operative opioid consumption in patients undergoing rotator cuff surgery with the typical mode of anesthesia, nerve block plus propofol sedation.

The rotator cuff is a muscle-tendon complex consisting of the tendons of the supraspinatus, subspinatus, subscapularis, and small round muscles capable of allowing movement of the shoulder joint in the various planes of space and stabilizing the glenohumeral joint. Rotator cuff tendon injuries are very common. In most cases, these injuries are mostly degenerative based, as they are related to the aging process of the individual. However, it is increasingly common to diagnose such injuries in young individuals as well. The reported incidence of rotator cuff injuries ranges from 5% to 40%, and of course the prevalence increases with age until it reaches 51% in patients older than 80 years. The diagnosis of rotator cuff injury is made based on clinical examination and instrumental investigations such as Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Rotator cuff repair involves the use of anchors with included suture threads that allow the tendons to be returned to the level of the anatomical insertion, called the footprint. Suture technique varies depending on the extent of injury and tendon and bone quality. Single-row (single row) or double-row suture bridge (double-row suture bridge) anchoring techniques are currently a hotly debated topic in the literature.

The objective of this study is to collect and evaluate long-term clinical and radiographic outcomes data in order to better understand the safety and performance of the shoulder arthroplasty over time. This study will follow subjects long-term for a minimum of 10-years, without an early-term restriction on the amount of time they will be followed.

The study is a multicenter, retrospective and prospective, non-randomized, noncontrolled, and consecutive series post-market study. The purpose of this study is collect data confirming safety, performance and clinical benefits of the Quattro® X Suture Anchor with BroadBand™ Tape and Instruments when used in rotator cuff repair. The primary endpoint of this study is the assessment of performance by analyzing soft tissue to bone healing in the shoulder (rotator cuff). Healing will be assessed by the investigator using PROMs and clinical outcomes of the patient. The clinical benefit will be assessed by functional outcomes measured using standard and well-established scoring systems (e.g. Constant & Murley and EQ-5D-5L) at 1 year post-operative. The safety will be assessed by monitoring the incidence and frequency of device- and/or procedure-related adverse events.

The aim of this study will be to compare the effectiveness of an exercise therapy program with extracorporeal shockwave therapy, ultrasound-guided percutaneous irrigation and a wait and see approach in people with rotator cuff calcific tendinopathy.

Shoulder pain is highly prevalent within general population, and shoulder impingement syndrome (SIS) is a common cause of shoulder pain. A small number of clinical and methodologically diverse trials have been published recently which show little evidence to support or refute the use of acupuncture for shoulder pain. Some researchers concluded, there is a need for further well-designed clinical trials. Our aim in this study is to investigate the effect of acupuncture treatment on pain, range of motion, functionality and quality of life in patients diagnosed with Subacromial Impingement Syndrome as a result of clinical and radiological tests.

This is a prospective, multi-center, PMCF study to evaluate the safety and performance of the MICRORAPTOR REGENESORB suture anchors, MICRORAPTOR Knotless REGENESORB suture anchors, and MICRORAPTOR Knotless PEEK suture anchors implanted in 300 subjects needing reattachment of soft tissue to bone.

This is a post-market surveillance study on Medacta Shoulder System

This is a multicenter, retrospective and prospective, non-controlled post market surveillance study. The objectives of this study are to confirm safety, performance and clinical benefits of the T.E.S.S.® Version 3 Anatomic and Reverse Modular Total shoulder prosthesis and its instrumentation.
