The purpose of this study is to compare two different antibiotic regimens and techniques during total shoulder arthroplasty. Primary Objective: Comparable levels of vancomycin will be found in bone, soft tissue, and systemic samples between patient groups. Secondary Objective: Compare 30 day and 90 day post-operative complication rates (infection) between the control (standard IV administration of vancomycin) vs the interventional group (intraosseous administration of vancomycin). The investigators hypothesize that there will be no difference in complication (infection) rates between groups.

The goal of the study is to learn if Epidiolex (cannabidiol) works as a additional pain medication in patients who have had orthopedic shoulder surgery. It is also to learn about safe dosages and identify any side effects after surgery. Researchers will compare Epidiolex to a placebo solution to see if Epidiolex lowers pain after shoulder surgery. Participants will: * track their pain and what medications they use every day in a provided pain diary. A researchers will call every seven days to check on the participant and diary. * Complete two short surveys. Once before surgery and once after. * Have bloodwork tested after surgery

The purpose of this study is to determine if using BioBrace® to reconstruct the gap in the rotator cuff tears lead to better results for patients compared to the traditional maximal repair method. This study will use a variety of clinical, radiographic, and functional outcome measures. Specifically, the researchers will be comparing the re-tear rate, patient reported outcomes, shoulder strength, range of motion, muscle activation, in-vivo biomechanics, and other radiographic outcomes using x-ray and MRI.

The investigators purpose of the proposed study is to use the FDA approved Shoulder Pacemaker device in patients undergoing reverse shoulder arthroplasty and study the functional outcomes compared to a standard post-operative rehabilitation program. The investigators hypothesize that use of the Shoulder Pacemaker reduce pain and will allow for improved range of motion and function in patients undergoing RSA. The findings of this research may very well improve function in RSA patients through a novel, non-invasive approach.

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the current standard of care for rehabilitation of non-operative shoulder injuries to a novel, criteria-based approach (CRISP). Additionally, this study will identify factors which contribute to return to duty readiness. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Are there differences in patient reported outcomes between participants who undergo the criteria-based rehabilitation program versus the standard of care for shoulder injuries? * Are there differences in clinical measures (strength, etc.) between participants who undergo the criteria-based rehabilitation program versus the standard of care for shoulder injuries? * Are there clinical or rehabilitation factors, or participant characteristics, that contribute to return to duty readiness? Participants will be randomized to either complete their rehabilitation per the standard of care with a physical therapist in a Military Treatment Facility or complete the CRISP program with a research physical therapist. Participants will: * Attend physical therapy for a non-operative shoulder injury * Attend initial and final clinical assessments at the clinic * Complete patient reported outcomes at 1-, 3-, 6- and 12-month timepoints

Postoperative pain remains undertreated with inadequate analgesic options. Opioids have well-known limitations for both individuals and society; single-injection and continuous peripheral nerve blocks provide intense analgesia but are limited in duration to 24-72 hours; and current neuromodulation options-with a duration measured in weeks and not hours-are prohibitively expensive and require an additional procedure. One possible solution is a device currently under investigation to treat postoperative pain. The RELAY system (Gate Science, Moultonborough, New Hampshire) is comprised of a basic catheter-over-needle device to allow administration of a single-injection of local anesthetic via the needle (or catheter) followed by a perineural local anesthetic infusion via the remaining catheter (when desired). Subsequent to the local anesthetic administration, instead of removing the catheter as with all previous continuous peripheral nerve block equipment, electric current may be delivered via the same catheter and an integrated pulse generator for up to 28 days. This is potentially revolutionary because it would allow an anesthesiologist to deliver (1) a single-injection peripheral nerve block; (2) a continuous peripheral nerve block; and (3) neuromodulation using a single device that can theoretically be placed in the same amount of time required for a single-injection peripheral nerve block. Instead of providing fewer than 24 hours of postoperative analgesia, up to 28 days of pain control could be delivered without disruption of existing practice patterns. The ultimate objective of the proposed investigation is to prepare for a randomized clinical trial investigating the use of the RELAY device to provide postoperative analgesia. This feasibility study will be a series of participants all receiving both local anesthetic and electric current via a single device (RELAY, Gate Science, Moultonborough, New Hampshire). The purpose will be to optimize the insertion approach and stimulation administration during the first 7 days following foot and shoulder surgery as well as training the clinical investigators.

Rotator cuff tendinopathy, one of the pathologies identified as part of the cluster of shoulder symptoms known as subacromial pain syndrome, is a common musculoskeletal shoulder condition. Resolution of pain and disability is poor despite treatment, with only about 50% reporting full recovery at 12 - 18 months. Prior studies suggest therapeutic exercise when used alone and with other interventions can have positive outcomes; however, not all patients with rotator cuff tendinopathy respond. Few studies have assessed the effects of exercise for individuals with chronic pain, especially brain driven mechanisms, thought to play a key role. In this study, we will use brain imaging to understand the mechanisms, identify predictors of a positive response to exercise, and the relationship to biomechanical and pain-related factors in patients with RC tendinopathy. The findings from this study will optimize the delivery and treatment response to exercise for individuals with shoulder pain.

This trial is testing whether PEMF therapy can help reduce pain in patients who have had shoulder or knee surgery. PEMF therapy uses electromagnetic waves to interact with the body's cells, which may reduce pain and speed up healing. The study will measure pain levels, medication use, and physical function after surgery. PEMF therapy has been evaluated as a therapeutic strategy for pain management in several clinical scenarios, showing positive efficacy and safety profiles.

"I was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer three months ago, metastatic to my liver, and I have been receiving and responding well to chemotherapy. My blood work revealed that my tumor markers have gone from 2600 in the beginning to 173 as of now, even with the delay in treatment, they are not going up. CT Scans reveal they have been shrinking as well. However, chemo is seriously deteriorating my body. I have 4 more treatments to go in this 12 treatment cycle. I am just interested in learning about my other options, if any are available to me."

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Shoulder Injury clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Shoulder Injury clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Shoulder Injury trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Shoulder Injury is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Shoulder Injury medical study?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Shoulder Injury clinical trials?

Most recently, we added MRI Techniques for Shoulder Labral Tear, Analgesic Device for Postoperative Pain and Feedback Device for Shoulder Pain to the Power online platform.
