ROTATOR CUFF TEAR

This study is tracking up to 400 people who are having arthroscopic rotator cuff repair with a device called the REGENETEN Bioinductive Implant. The implant is placed to support healing of the torn tendon. Researchers will measure shoulder function, pain, and quality of life for …

This study is checking the long-term safety and how well a medical device called the Pitch-Patch works for people who have had surgery for a torn rotator cuff in the shoulder. The Pitch-Patch is a small polyester patch that helps strengthen the repair. About 37 people who already…

This study follows over 1,000 people who receive a shoulder replacement with FX Shoulder Solutions systems. Researchers will track how often the implant needs to be replaced (revision) and measure pain, movement, and quality of life for up to 10 years after surgery. The goal is t…

This study looks at whether adding a small amount of a patient's own processed fat tissue during arthroscopic rotator cuff repair can improve healing and reduce the chance of the tendon tearing again. About 52 adults with full-thickness tears will be followed for at least 5 years…

This study tests whether a patch made from donated placental tissue can help rotator cuff tears heal better after surgery. Half of the 120 participants will get the patch along with standard repair, and the other half will get standard repair alone. An MRI one year later will che…

This study is testing a new type of suture anchor, called ComposiTCP, for repairing torn rotator cuffs in the shoulder. The anchors are used with a special tape to help the soft tissue reattach to bone. Researchers will follow 43 patients for one year to see if the repair holds a…

This study tests a new device called FiberLocker® that reinforces rotator cuff surgery to help the tendon heal better. About 60 adults aged 30-70 with full-thickness tears will be enrolled. The main goal is to see if the repair heals properly on MRI after 6 months, with a focus o…

This trial compares two standard anesthesia methods—inhaled sevoflurane versus intravenous propofol—during arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. The goal is to see which one gives surgeons a clearer view inside the shoulder joint, which is important for safety and success. About 110 …

This study looks at whether adding core stabilization exercises to standard physical therapy can reduce pain and improve shoulder function in people aged 40-60 with partial rotator cuff tears. About 69 participants will be assigned to either core exercises or traditional trunk an…

This study compares a wearable device-based remote rehabilitation system to traditional in-person therapy for people recovering from rotator cuff surgery. 72 adults with small to medium tears will be randomly assigned to either group. The goal is to see if the wearable approach c…

This study looks at which pain control method works best after rotator cuff repair surgery. Researchers will compare different combinations of pain medicines to see which reduces the need for strong narcotics like oxycodone. About 130 adults having shoulder surgery will take part…

This study tests whether text messaging can help collect feedback from orthopedic patients about their recovery. Researchers will enroll up to 3,000 people with specific bone or spine injuries. The goal is to use this information to schedule clinic visits more efficiently, so pat…

This study looks at how the size and type of rotator cuff tear affects the suprascapular nerve in the shoulder. Researchers will use MRI scans and nerve tests on 250 adults to see which tears cause nerve damage. They also want to find out if surgical repair can help the nerve rec…
