This study compared two surgical techniques for repairing torn shoulder rotator cuffs. Researchers wanted to see if cutting the long biceps tendon during surgery provides better pain relief and shoulder function than leaving it intact. The trial involved 60 adults with specific t…

This study tested whether a specific set of exercises, delivered through video calls (telerehabilitation), could help people recover better after rotator cuff shoulder surgery. It involved 34 adults who had the surgery and could participate in Turkish. Researchers measured pain, …

This study tested if doing physical therapy at home via video calls (telerehabilitation) works as well as going to a clinic after rotator cuff surgery. It involved 30 people who were at least 6 weeks post-surgery. Both groups did an 8-week exercise program, and the video-based gr…

This study tested whether giving a drug called tranexamic acid (TXA) before shoulder surgery improves the surgeon's view during the operation and reduces bleeding. In this completed trial, 121 patients having surgery for a torn rotator cuff were randomly assigned to receive eithe…

This study tested whether new MRI and ultrasound techniques could better measure muscle changes in people with rotator cuff tears. Researchers worked with 3 participants who had shoulder tears on one side but a healthy shoulder on the other. The goal was to see if these imaging m…
