NCT ID NCT06039345
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This small study tests a procedure called radiofrequency ablation for people with chronic shoulder pain that hasn't improved with standard treatments like physical therapy or injections. The treatment uses heat to calm the nerves that send pain signals from the shoulder joint. Ten participants will be followed for a year to see if their pain drops by at least half and if their strength improves.
