Tendinitis

This study is testing a special implant (Tapestry) that helps repair a key shoulder tendon (subscapularis) during shoulder replacement surgery. About 100 adults with shoulder arthritis or injury will be followed for 2 years to see if the tendon heals better with the implant. The …

This study tests whether a pharmacist-led program can help people reduce their risk of heart disease. Over 1,000 adults with conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, or obesity are taking part. Pharmacists use a step-by-step guide to assess risk and support lifestyle change…

This study tests a new injection called NEMO-103 to see if it makes shoulder MRI pictures clearer for diagnosing problems like torn tendons or cartilage. About 85 adults with known or suspected shoulder issues will get both a regular MRI and one with the injection. The goal is to…

This study compares two 12-week exercise programs—eccentric training and heavy-slow resistance training—in 30 adults aged 18–50 with patellar tendinopathy (knee pain lasting over 3 months). Researchers measure changes in tendon thickness, stiffness, strength, and pain to see whic…

This study compares three non-surgical treatments—exercise therapy, shockwave therapy, and ultrasound-guided irrigation—against a wait-and-see approach for people with painful calcium deposits in the shoulder. About 116 participants with confirmed calcific tendinopathy will be ra…

This study tests whether a specific type of exercise called eccentric contraction (lengthening muscles under tension) can help people with shoulder pain syndrome. Sixty adults aged 18-70 with rotator cuff tendinitis will do either eccentric exercises plus standard therapy or stan…

This study tests whether adding yellow or green light therapy to standard care (ice and exercises) can reduce pain and improve knee function in 60 athletes with jumper's knee. Participants will receive either yellow light, green light, or standard care alone. The goal is to see i…

This study tests an online program designed to help people with inflammatory arthritis remain employed. The program includes eLearning modules, group video sessions, and consultations with an occupational therapist and vocational counselor. About 528 participants from three Canad…

This study looks at whether adding deep friction massage to a standard exercise program helps people with bicipital tendinitis (a painful shoulder condition). Researchers will measure pain, movement ability, fear of movement, and quality of life in 42 adults aged 20-55. The goal …

This study tests if a biceps tendon cutting procedure (tenotomy) done in the doctor's office with a tiny camera and local anesthesia works as well as the same surgery in an operating room. 14 adults with shoulder pain from biceps or rotator cuff problems will be enrolled. The mai…

This study compares two types of injections for people with shoulder pain caused by rotator cuff tendinopathy. One injection, CTM Boost, is made from donated placental tissue, and the other, PRP, uses a patient's own blood. The goal is to see if CTM Boost works as well as PRP at …

This study follows up to 500 people with acute or chronic inflammatory disorders, such as infections or immune problems, over time. Researchers will monitor participants with standard tests and may screen them for other studies. The goal is to better understand these conditions a…

This study follows 50 adults who had surgery for a broken shinbone to see if changes in the kneecap tendon's stiffness relate to knee pain. Researchers use a special ultrasound before and up to 6 months after surgery. The goal is to better understand why some people develop front…

This study looked at whether having more frequent contact with a clinician (at least once a week) improves satisfaction for people with long-lasting musculoskeletal conditions. Participants were split into two groups: one with standard contact and one with extra check-ins via tex…

This study collects blood, urine, and tissue samples from 330 adults with advanced lung or head and neck cancer to improve precision medicine. Researchers will analyze genetic changes in these samples and grow some tumors in mice to compare DNA. The goal is to refine liquid biops…

This study tests whether a Norwegian clinic (NSAC) helps people with common mental health issues or muscle pain return to work sooner. 2500 adults are split into three groups: one gets treatment quickly, one waits 10-14 weeks, and one gets a basic check-up. Researchers will track…

This study was designed to compare two standard surgical techniques for bicep tenodesis—using one anchor or two mini anchors—to see which keeps the tendon in place better. It planned to track tendon movement with X-rays right after surgery, at 2 weeks, and at 6 months. However, t…

This study looks back at the medical records of about 4 million people who had physical or occupational therapy for muscle and joint problems. Researchers want to see if different ways of giving therapy lead to different results. No new treatments are tested—the goal is to learn …

This study aimed to see if a mobile monitoring tool could accurately identify surgical site infections (SSIs) in orthopedic surgery patients, compared to the usual manual review. The study was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no results are available. It was design…

This study planned to compare waterproof and standard casts in children with ankle or foot injuries. The goal was to see if waterproof casts lead to more complications. However, the study was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no data or conclusions are available.
