93 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The purpose of this study is to determine the most effective intraarticular steroid dose for the treatment of glenohumeral osteoarthritis. The investigators aim to randomize patients into low, medium, and high dose groups of injectable corticosteroids as these doses are typically used in the standard of care for our patients. To date there has been no study to evaluate which dose is most efficient with the fewest side effects for glenohumeral osteoarthritis. The investigators objective will be to provide ultrasound guided intraarticular glenohumeral injections of these randomized concentrations and to evaluate pain and function before and following injection with the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI). The investigators hypothesize that the low dose steroid will provide equivalent improvement of the pain and function to the medium and high doses, while minimizing side effects.
Some patients may experience persistent pain in the front of their shoulder after reverse shoulder replacement. One of the possible reasons for this is that the surgery causes a change in the alignment of the shoulder joint, which may cause increased tension and compression on one of the biceps tendon called the conjoint tendon. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether conjoint tendon lengthening, a surgical procedure that involves cutting and lengthening the conjoint tendon in order to reduce tension and compression, is able to prevent or reduce the risk of anterior shoulder pain at one year after surgery.

The glenohumeral joint is the third most common large joint to be affected by OA. Conservative treatments include physical activity, corticosteroid injections, and medications. PRP is an emerging treatment that has shown efficacy in different musculoskeletal conditions. The use of PRP for glenohumeral OA has been described sparingly in the literature but has shown efficacy in a couple studies and case reports. However, all of the previous studies investigating PRP for glenohumeral OA have focused on low-dose PRP preparations (\~3X), and none have compared PRP treatment to saline treatment. This study aims to compare outcomes following single injections of low-dose PRP, high-dose PRP, or saline in patients with glenohumeral osteoarthritis.
This multi-site study involving Northwestern Medicine, Beaumont Health, and Loyola Medicine seeks to answer the following question: do patients who undergo subscapularis (SSc) repair during reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) have better post-operative outcomes than patients who do not undergo SSc repair during RSA? The investigators hypothesize that patients who do not undergo SSc repair during RSA have better post-operative outcomes than patients who undergo SSc repair during RSA. This study will address the controversy surrounding SSc repair during RSA via a multi-institutional randomized controlled trial that will compare clinical outcomes of patients who receive SSc repair during RSA to those who do not.
Researchers want to find out more about the side effects of Bone Marrow Aspirate Concentrate (BMAC) and what doses of BMAC are safe for people.
Pain management following total shoulder arthroplasty is an important factor in determining patient outcomes and satisfaction. Interscalene brachial plexus blockade has been used successfully to minimize pain in the acute post-operative period. While shown to be effective, interscalene blockade has known complications. In addition, interscalene block has been shown to be significantly more expensive when compared to local anesthesia infiltration. Local anesthetics such as bupivacaine have long been used to assist in post-operative anesthesia. Recent reports have demonstrated local infiltration of liposomal bupivacaine to be similar to interscalene block in regards to patient analgesia even in the first 24 hours post operatively, with the added benefit of lower complications and costs. While most reports examine the efficacy of local infiltration with liposomal bupivacaine in the shoulder, other total joint literature has been positive regarding the use of local infiltration analgesic mixture for improved post-operative analgesia using a multi-modal approach to infiltrative analgesia. Despite these reports, the role and efficacy of local infiltration analgesia in shoulder arthroplasty is lacking. The purpose of the proposed study is to determine the efficacy and safety of local infiltration analgesia in shoulder arthroplasty in comparison to interscalene block through a randomized prospective clinical trial. Our hypothesis is that local infiltration analgesia will lead to postoperative pain scores, opiate consumption, and complication rate that are not significantly different from interscalene block.
The purpose of the present study is to determine if a standard humeral cut using a fixed neck shaft angled prosthesis for patients undergoing anatomic TSA is able to restore normal glenohumeral relationships as compared to a variable neck shaft angle prosthesis.
The purpose of this study is to examine the rotator cuff muscles in your shoulder at one and two year post total shoulder replacement surgery.
This is a randomized, double-blinded, standard of care-controlled clinical trial. The purpose of this study is to determine the difference in subscapularis strength and function after anatomic Total Shoulder Arthroplasty (aTSA) in patients who receive isolated subscapularis rehabilitation in addition to the standard rehabilitation after surgery at 12-month follow up. Specifically the investigators will measure subscapularis strength utilizing a dynamometer device and subscapularis function utilizing isolated subscapularis physical examination testing: belly-press, bear-hug, and lift-off tests. Additionally, investigators will document secondary outcome measures including shoulder range of motion and Patient Reported Outcome Measure Information System (PROMIS) questionnaire scores.
Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) has been successful in patients with rotator cuff arthropathy, proximal humerus fractures, failed primary total shoulder arthroplasty or failed hemiarthroplasty, and massive irreparable rotator cuff tear. Patients who undergo an RTSA report pain relief and functional range of motion. It has been more than 20 years since the advent of the RTSA construct but an immediate post-operative rehabilitation with active shoulder range of motion has not been prospectively studied in comparison to the traditional post-operative rehabilitation highlighted by Boudreau et al.12 Investigators plan to prospectively follow our patients following RTSA undergoing an immediate active shoulder rehabilitation (IASR) vs traditional rehabilitation in a randomized controlled fashion. Investigators plan to document clinical outcomes, complications and cost effectiveness out to 1 year. The study will hopefully fulfill the Triple Aim model for HealthPartners by improving the health of the population, improve the experience of each individual, and make healthcare affordable by decreasing the total cost of care.
Shoulder replacement surgery is recognized as having the potential to cause a considerable amount of postoperative pain. Adequate management of pain after surgery is necessary not only to improve the patient's wellbeing but also to facilitate recovery. Several regional anesthesia techniques are available to combat postoperative pain in the shoulder replacement surgery patient, however, which method provides superior pain relief remains unknown. The purpose of this study is to examine the effectiveness of a continuous interscalene block versus a single shot interscalene block for postoperative pain relief in the shoulder replacement patient. Patients undergoing shoulder replacement surgery will experience more effective pain relief with a continuous interscalene block versus and single shot interscalene block.
