ROTATOR CUFF TEARS

This early-phase study tests whether adding stem cells from a patient's own fat tissue to standard rotator cuff surgery can improve healing and speed up recovery. About 30 adults with a torn rotator cuff will receive the stem cell injection during their operation. The goal is to …

This study follows 200 adults who receive a Shoulder iD™ implant to treat severe rotator cuff tears, arthritis, or other shoulder damage. Researchers will measure how well the shoulder works 2 years after surgery and how often the implant needs to be replaced or fixed over 10 yea…

This study tests a new surgical tool called the Flexible Suturing System with Anchors (FSSA) for repairing full-thickness rotator cuff tears. About 100 adults who need this surgery will be included. The main goal is to see how well the tendon heals one year after surgery, as seen…

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 early-phase trial tests whether adding special cells (E-CEL UVEC) to standard rotator cuff surgery is safe and helps healing. About 20 adults aged 45-70 with full-thickness tendon tears will receive the cells at the repair site. The main goal is to check for short- and long-…

This study tests a new device called SINEFIX that helps reattach torn shoulder tendons in adults with tears up to 2 cm. Nine participants received the implant during keyhole surgery. The main goals are to see if the tendon heals properly and if the implant stays in place without …

This study is for adults who need shoulder replacement due to arthritis, fractures, or other shoulder conditions. It will track how well the Tornier HRS shoulder system works over time, measuring pain relief and function. About 110 people will take part, and the goal is to confir…

This study looks at whether adding mental practice (motor imagery) to standard physical therapy helps people recover better after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. About 36 adults who had this surgery will be split into two groups: one gets only physical therapy, the other adds m…

This study looks at whether adding kinesio taping to standard rehab after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair can reduce pain and improve shoulder function. About 50 adults who had surgery for a torn rotator cuff will be randomly assigned to get either standard rehab alone or standa…

This study tests a device called RELAY that delivers both local anesthetic and mild electrical pulses to nerves after shoulder or foot surgery. The goal is to provide up to 28 days of pain relief, much longer than current options. About 50 adults undergoing specific surgeries wil…

This study looks at how well a bio-inductive implant helps heal torn rotator cuff tendons in the shoulder. Researchers will use MRI scans at 3 and 6 months after surgery to check if the repair is holding and if there are any problems. About 20 people with partial or full tears wi…

This study explores whether the characteristics of bone marrow in the upper arm bone can predict how well a torn rotator cuff heals after surgery. Researchers will enroll 50 adults aged 18-75 with full-thickness tears and use MRI and CT scans to measure tendon healing. The goal i…
