Cryoneurolysis for Chronic Pain: 6- and 12-Month Outcomes in Routine Care
This study tests whether cryoneurolysis, done as part of standard care for people with chronic pain, leads to meaningful improvements over 6 to 12 months.
-
Shoulder replacement techniques: comparing anatomic vs. reverse in people with shoulder arthritis and a healthy rotator cuff
This study tests whether anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA) leads to better patient-reported outcomes after 1 year than reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) for people with shoulder arthritis and an intact rotator cuff.
-
Evaluating the AETOS Shoulder System for shoulder replacement surgeries
This study is testing the AETOS Shoulder System to see if it is safe and effective for people with shoulder arthritis who need shoulder replacement surgery.
-
Evaluating Zimmer Biomet Shoulder Replacement Systems
This study is testing how safe and effective Zimmer Biomet Shoulder Replacement Systems are for people getting shoulder surgery, looking at how well the implants last over ten years and how patients feel after two years.
-
Evaluating hemidiaphragmatic paralysis after shoulder surgery with nerve blocks
This study is testing how often patients having shoulder surgery with a specific nerve block experience breathing issues and how it affects their pain and use of pain medication afterward.
-
Personalized approach to shoulder joint replacement
This study is testing if using a personalized guide based on CT scans during shoulder replacement surgery can help people with shoulder arthritis recover better than using standard guides.
