Metabolic syndrome linked to persistent shoulder pain in new study
NCT ID NCT04686435
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This completed study followed 1,100 adults with shoulder pain for up to five years to see how metabolic syndrome (a cluster of conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes) affects recovery. Participants received standard treatments like physiotherapy, injections, or surgery. The goal was to identify factors that predict long-term disability and work participation.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could help doctors predict which patients with shoulder pain are at risk for long-term disability, especially those with metabolic syndrome.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It cannot prove cause and effect, and results may not apply to all populations.
