ROTATOR CUFF INJURIES

This study tests whether adding stem cells from a patient's own fat tissue to standard rotator cuff surgery can improve healing and reduce recovery time. About 30 adults with shoulder tendon tears will receive the stem cell injection during surgery. The goal is to see if this sim…

This study tests a special implant called TAPESTRY that is placed during shoulder surgery to support healing of torn rotator cuff tendons. About 170 adults with partial or full-thickness tears will receive the implant and be followed for 6 months. The main goal is to see if the i…

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 small study tests a procedure called radiofrequency ablation for people with chronic shoulder pain that hasn't improved with standard treatments like physical therapy or injections. The treatment uses heat to calm the nerves that send pain signals from the shoulder joint. Te…

This study looks at two different hands-on therapy methods (Mulligan and PNF) added to standard physical therapy for people with partial rotator cuff tears. 45 adults aged 30-70 will be split into three groups to see which approach best reduces pain, improves shoulder movement, a…

This study looks at how rotator cuff injuries—common causes of shoulder pain—might affect posture, trunk rotation, and balance. Researchers will compare 40 people with rotator cuff problems to 40 healthy volunteers, measuring things like spine curvature and balance using smartpho…

This study was designed to follow patients with full-thickness rotator cuff tears over 10 years to see how their shoulder function and quality of life changed. It aimed to identify factors linked to improvement. However, the study was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, …
