Comparing post-op care pathways after shoulder surgery
Official title: Prospective Comparative Multicenter Study of the Care Pathway After Shoulder Surgery
Run by Clinique Victor Hugo · NCT06808269 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This project will test whether a structured Vivalto-Dom follow-up or an autonomous nurse-contact follow-up leads to better pain control, comfort, and satisfaction for patients after shoulder surgery.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults scheduled for one of the specified shoulder surgeries (simple arthroscopy, arthroscopic repair, open surgery with or without prosthesis) who can understand and give informed consent and are covered by social security are ideal candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with communication or cognitive disorders, neuropathy, chronic inflammatory pain conditions, active addiction, pregnancy or breastfeeding, lack of social security coverage, or inability to consent are unlikely to benefit or be eligible.

What this trial studies
This prospective multicenter comparative interventional study compares two postoperative follow-up approaches for shoulder surgery patients: the structured Vivalto-Dom protocol at Clinique Victor Hugo in Paris and an autonomous nurse-contact pathway at Centre hospitalier privé Saint-Grégoire. A single surgeon will operate at both centers to limit variability in the surgical procedure. The trial will measure postoperative pain management, patient comfort, and satisfaction using each center's follow-up protocol. Results aim to identify which care pathway improves recovery and reduces postoperative complications.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the preferred follow-up approach could improve pain control, increase patient comfort and satisfaction, and lower the risk of postoperative issues.
How similar studies have gone: Previous orthopedic studies of structured post-op follow-up and remote monitoring have shown improvements in satisfaction and pain control, but direct comparisons between Vivalto-Dom and nurse-led autonomous follow-up are limited.
