Rotator cuff tears

This trial evaluates the safety and performance of three types of suture anchors (REGENESORB, Knotless REGENESORB, and Knotless PEEK) used to reattach soft tissue to bone in the shoulder or hip. About 300 people needing repair for labral tears, shoulder instability, or rotator cu…

This trial investigates whether tranexamic acid, a drug that reduces bleeding, improves visual clarity during arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Patients with full-thickness rotator cuff tears receive the drug either through an IV or directly into the joint, and surgeons rate how …

This study compares two surgical options for people with large, irreparable rotator cuff tears: partial repair alone versus partial repair plus a tissue graft to rebuild the shoulder capsule. Researchers will track pain, function, and quality of life in 105 participants over two …

This study tested whether adding a nanofiber scaffold during rotator cuff surgery helps the tendon heal better in people over 55. 91 patients were randomly assigned to get either standard repair or repair with the scaffold. The main goal was to see if the scaffold reduces the cha…

This study looked at 106 people who had surgery to fix a torn rotator cuff using a special anchor and tape. The goal was to see if the device helps the tendon heal back to the bone and improves shoulder function. Researchers checked healing and measured pain and daily activities …

This trial investigates whether ultrasound-guided nerve blocks, targeting the suprascapular and axillary nerves, can reduce pain after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Participants receive either a local anesthetic (ropivacaine) or a saline placebo before surgery, alongside stan…

This study looks at whether adding kinesio taping to standard rehab after rotator cuff surgery helps reduce pain and improve shoulder function. Fifty adults aged 18 to 70 who had surgery for a torn rotator cuff are randomly assigned to get either standard rehab alone or standard …

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 tested whether giving tranexamic acid (TXA) before shoulder arthroscopy improves the surgeon's view and reduces bleeding. 121 adults with rotator cuff tears received either TXA or a placebo. The main goal was to see if TXA makes the surgery clearer and safer.

This study tested whether motor control exercises done via video calls can improve shoulder function and quality of life in 34 people who had rotator cuff surgery. Participants did either motor control or standard exercises three days a week for 12 weeks. The goal was to see if t…

This study tested whether doing physical therapy at home via video calls (telerehabilitation) works as well as going to a clinic after rotator cuff surgery. Thirty people who had surgery at least six weeks earlier took part. Both groups did the same exercises for eight weeks, and…

Researchers at Hacettepe University are studying people who had surgery for a massive rotator cuff tear. They want to see how the brain's signals to shoulder muscles, shoulder function, and psychological resilience relate to each other. Participants complete shoulder and mood que…

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 follows adults having arthroscopic rotator cuff repair to see how their depression symptoms change over two years and whether those changes relate to shoulder pain and function. Participants are grouped by pre-surgery depression scores, then tracked at regular interval…

This trial tests different doses of a fluorescent dye called IC-Green in people having arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. The dye binds to blood proteins and makes blood vessels visible under a special camera. The goal is to find the best dose for seeing blood flow in the torn ten…

This study tested whether advanced MRI and ultrasound techniques can better measure muscle changes in people with rotator cuff tears. Three adults with a tear on one side and a healthy shoulder on the other took part. The goal was to see if these imaging tools could provide clear…

This study looked at 60 people aged 40-65 having rotator cuff repair surgery. Half had their biceps tendon cut (tenotomy) and half did not. The goal was to see if cutting the tendon improves shoulder function and pain. Researchers used questionnaires and ultrasound to compare res…
