NCT ID NCT07349914
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 90 adults with implantable cardiac devices (like pacemakers) for two years. Researchers will measure shoulder pain, range of motion, posture, and how well people can do daily activities. The goal is to understand how these devices affect the shoulder and arm over time, not to test a new treatment.
