Active clinical trials for "Rotator Cuff Injuries"

The present study addresses the issue about post-surgical recovery process, for patients arthroscopically treated for rotator-cuff tear. The aim of the research is to test the effectiveness of a new rehabilitation protocol that includes kinematic biofeedback with the motion analysis system ISEO.

Rehabilitation following rotator cuff surgery is characterized with high levels of pain, limited range of motion, and decreased quality of life. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the B-Cure laser photobiomodulation home-use device in addition to standard care, for the reduction of pain, increase in functionality, and improvement of life quality during rehabilitation following rotator cuff arthroscopic surgery.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy of allogeneic PRP in patients with subacromial impingement disease

The purpose of this study is to compare the quality and duration of pain relief after shoulder surgery provided by a single injection of liposomal bupivacaine versus standard bupivacaine when administered as an interscalene brachial plexus block. It is hypothesized that the liposomal bupivacaine formulation will provide more effective pain relief than standard bupivacaine.

To evaluate functional, clinical, and subjective parameters in patients with rotator cuff syndrome and bursitis treated with Traumeel® S injections versus corticosteroid injections and versus placebo. 160 patients are planned to be randomised (i.e., 64 patients per active treatment group and 32 patients in the placebo group) in 9 investigator sites in Germany, Belgium and Spain. Finally 176 patients have been randomized (73 Traumeel, 67 Fortecortin and 36 Placebo) and 175 of them received at least one dosage of treatment

The primary safety objective is to demonstrate that severe device-related complication (Serious Adverse Device Effect = SADE) occur within 2 years after prosthesis implantation at a rate of less than 2%. Such adverse events include (but are not limited to) revisions due to dislocation or glenoid loosening, septic arthritis and scapular fractures requiring surgical repair.

The primary objective of this study is to obtain safety data on the use of the ULTRABRAID PLUS SUTURE, and to assess the preliminary effectiveness of the use of the ULTRABRAID PLUS SUTURE in comparison to the ULTRABRAID SUTURE in patients undergoing rotator cuff repair.

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of periarticular injections consisting of ropivacaine, morphine, epinephrine, cefotetan, and hyaluronic acid with the efficacy of periarticular injections consisting of the same amount of placebo(isotonic saline) during arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Adding of multimodal analgesia(MMA) to conventional rotator cuff repair, it was expected that could reduce postoperative pain and narcotic consumption.

This study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of GraftJacket, a human tissue product used in fixing large and massive reparable rotator cuff tears.GraftJacket allograft (Wright Medical Technology, Inc., Arlington, TN) is a biologic tissue that is derived from human dermis. The primary purpose of this study is to determine whether rotator cuff repair augmentation using GraftJacket allograft provides a viable alternative, based on observed clinical outcomes, versus outcomes traditionally achieved with suture and anchor repairs. The study will secondarily investigate the difference in outcomes in patients treated arthroscopically versus open. This study will report patient progress and results at early (6 month) and late (2 year) time points in patients treated for large and massive reparable rotator cuff tears (>3cm). A reparable tear is defined as a tear of the rotator cuff where it is possible to bring the retracted tendon edge back to the greater tuberosity of the humerus without excessive tension. Restoration of rotator cuff integrity, clinical outcomes and re-tear rate will be included in the study evaluations.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate patient shoulder functional outcomes following rotator cuff repairs reinforced with a surgical mesh.
