Can a new shoulder implant restore Pain-Free movement?
NCT ID NCT06371833
First seen Aug 12, 2026 · Last updated Aug 13, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows 60 adults who receive a total shoulder replacement using the PRIMA humeral stem, either in an anatomic or reverse configuration. The goal is to measure changes in shoulder function, pain, and quality of life over 24 months, as well as how well the implant holds up and any complications. By tracking these outcomes, researchers hope to assess the short-term performance and safety of this implant in real-world use.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- PRIMA humeral stem (a shoulder replacement implant used in anatomic or reverse configuration)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could confirm the PRIMA stem as a reliable option for shoulder replacement, potentially improving pain relief and arm function for people with severe shoulder arthritis or injury.
- What could go wrong
- This is a short-term study with only 60 participants, so results may not reflect long-term implant durability or apply to all patients. As with any surgery, risks include infection, implant loosening, or complications that could affect outcomes.
