Active clinical trials for "Rotator Cuff Injuries"

The investigators hypothesize that TrueRelief will result in improved outcomes for patients with shoulder pain compared to those receiving the sham TrueRelief treatment. Also, it is likely that those with fewer medical comorbidities will experience the greatest improvement.

This study will compare arthroscopic transosseous versus anchored rotator cuff repairs in terms of clinical outcomes, rotator cuff integrity, and cost-effectiveness. With the collection of patient-reported outcomes the health of patients undergoing each rotator cuff repair technique will be assessed. The aims of this study will be achieved through a clinical randomized controlled trial and a cost-effectiveness analysis.

170 patients with rotator cuff syndrome will be filmed abducting and flexing their arms before learning a simple maneuver that alleviates most of the pain 90% of the time. They will then be filmed performing the same abduction and flexion of their arms. The patients will rate their pain on the common 10-point pain scale after abducting and flexing their arms before and after the maneuver.

Prospective, randomized, multi-center, controlled study for patients undergoing open rotator cuff repair. Patients are stratified based on tear size to one of three groups. Each group is then randomized 1:1 to either repair with OrthoADAPT or repair without OrthoADAPT.

The investigator's goal is to determine the effectiveness of stromal vascular fraction (SVF) cell injection to treat small rotator cuff tears without surgery.

The main purpose of the study is to determine the effect of Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) on the healing process after a rotator cuff repair procedure.

Investigate the effects of dexmedetomidine on postoperative cognitive function in patients undergoing shoulder arthroscopy with beach chair position under desflurane anesthesia.

This clinical trial investigates the safety and the preliminary clinical benefit of the hemiverse shoulder prosthesis. Implantation of this newly developed hemi-prosthesis is intended for patients who do not qualify for a regular reverse or hemi-prosthesis due to severe medical conditions, poor bone stock or critical status of the rotator cuff. The expected benefit is, that patients will have a minimally invasive surgical procedure, only addressing the humeral shaft, however with the biomechanical advantage of a total reverse shoulder prosthesis, meaning, that with a minimally invasive surgery a comparable result as with a regular total shoulder prosthesis is accomplished. Patients will be closely monitored within the study protocol for 18 months and thereafter in regular interval was as with a normal prosthetic followup.

Notwithstanding the rapid increase in utilization of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA), little consensus or high-quality evidence exists regarding optimal rehab methods following the procedure. Our research question is how different rehab methods influence the clinical outcomes following RTSA. This proposal presents a prospective randomized clinical trial where 100 eligible RTSA patients will be randomly assigned to two rehab groups (Short immobilization with patient-directed therapy vs Long immobilization with supervised therapy) at a single institution. Patient-reported outcomes, objective clinical data, and complications will be compared between the groups over a period of 2 years.

This is a Prospective Pilot Single Arm study on prolotherapy for the treatment of patients with pain due to Partial Rotator Cuff (RC) Tears of the Shoulder. The aim of this trial is to study the effects of injected glucose on injured or degenerative RC tears of the shoulder. Glucose is not recognized by the FDA for this purpose but is used in 2 main concentrations: 50% solution to treat hypoglycemia and 5% solution for fluid replacement. In the prolotherapy group, 20% dextrose will be injected into 4 locations of the affected shoulder. In the active control group, patients will receive a single injection of methylprednisolone into the subacromial bursa and 3 saline injections overlying the tendons.
