Antimicrobial Wash for Shoulder Replacement Surgery

Detroit, Michigan
The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to determine the effect of post-incision wash using various novel antimicrobial solutions on the rate of positive C. Acnes cultures collected from adults undergoing primary shoulder replacement surgery. Subjects will be randomly assigned in a 1:1:1:1 fashion to groups that will receive one of the following treatments: * Post-incision application of Xperience Antimicrobial wash (NextScience, Jacksonville, FL) * Post-incision application of 3% hydrogen peroxide * Post-incision application of 10% povidone-iodine (betadine) * No post-incision treatment (control) The investigators hypothesize that the subjects treated with the antimicrobial solutions after initial incision will have lower rates of positive C. Acnes cultures. The investigators also hypothesize that post-incision application of Xperience Antimicrobial wash and Betadine will have an equal reduction in the incidence of C. acnes as Hydrogen Peroxide.

Synovial Biopsy for Shoulder Joint Infections

London, Ontario
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of retrieving tissue samples via an x-ray guided needle that is inserted into the infected tissue in the shoulder. The procedure using the guided needle is called a synovial biopsy versus an open tissue biopsy, which is done at the time of surgery. By doing the synovial biopsy prior to a revision surgery, the investigators hope to avoid more invasive intervention if it is not needed. Some patients may appear to have an infection but once the biopsy is taken and the results are read, there may not be an infection and therefore no need for a revision surgery.

Prehabilitation + Education for Shoulder Replacement Surgery

London, Ontario
Shoulder problems affect many Canadians yearly. While surgery is one of the best treatments for shoulder problems, patients are unaware about shoulder replacement surgeries, the exercises needed after surgery and how to safely recover from the surgery without having another injury. Uncertainties about the surgery and recovery process can further cause post-surgery problems such as: pain, anxiety and re-injury. While some healthcare centers offer an in- class program to educate patients before surgery, some patients face issues with distance or transportation, and cannot regularly meet their doctor to address all their concerns. This project aims to create an online educational program that will teach patients through online videos and educational materials before they go into shoulder replacement surgery. By creating online modules, it can increase the accessibility for home use, and prepare patients on topics such as: their concerns about the surgery and proper exercises they can expect after surgery for a safe recovery. The aim is to study three groups of patients before surgery; 1. a group consisting of an online pre-rehabilitation program 6 weeks before surgery, 2. a group consisting of an online pre-rehabilitation program 6 weeks before surgery + therapist or 3. A group consisting of the current standard of care, which is a WebEx pre-operative education class lead by a physiotherapist and occupational therapist. Researchers will monitor all groups on their recovery before and after surgery. This will provide another alternative to informing patients before surgery and help them to prepare better for surgery. The online modules will contribute to improving the care in Southern Ontario and eventually be used for future care across Canada.

Physical Therapy for Broken Humerus

Charlottesville, Virginia
Proximal humerus fractures can be a debilitating injury in the elderly, impacting the ability to function independently or complete activities of daily living due to pain and restricted shoulder motion. Evidence has shown that reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) is an effective option to improve pain and function for patients with acute displaced proximal humerus fractures. Given that patients undergoing rTSA for proximal humerus fractures typically experience worse functional outcomes, worse patient-reported outcomes, and higher rates of complication compared to those with elective indications for surgical intervention, it is critical to determine a secure path to recovery for these patients after surgery. Early rehabilitation has been proposed to be safe and effective for patients who undergo rTSA for elective indications; however, there is a paucity of research evaluating safety and effectiveness of timing of rehabilitation for rTSA patients in the trauma setting. Currently, there exists a great variability in postoperative rehabilitation protocols across orthopaedic practices. This study's objective is to determine the safety and effectiveness of early postoperative rehabilitation on the outcomes and postoperative complications of patients undergoing rTSA for proximal humerus fractures in order to provide more specific recommendations for this patient population.

Surgiphor for Shoulder Replacement Surgery

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Bacteria is occasionally present in the shoulder during shoulder arthroplasty surgery and is hypothesized to increase the risk of failure of the prosthesis. Surgiphor (sterile Povidone-Iodine) wound irrigation, is a solution used in orthopaedic surgery and other surgical fields to kill bacteria intraoperatively. The Iodine dissociates from complex and has antimicrobial properties, causing cell death of bacteria, fungi, and viruses through interactions with proteins, nucleotides, and fatty acids in the cytoplasm and cytoplasmic membrane. This study examines the use of Povidone-Iodine during primary shoulder arthroplasty.

Pectoserratus Block + Interscalene Block for Shoulder Surgery

Minneapolis, Minnesota
The use of ISB in patients undergoing total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) is the gold standard and results in significantly reduced pain scores and opioid use. However, patients still have pain and the majority require opioids postoperatively as the interscalene block (ISB) doesn't cover all of the dermatomes impacted during TSA. A pectoserratus block typically provides coverage to additional dermatomes that are impacted during TSA. Currently ISB is performed for every patient and perform a pectoserratus block to a portion of our patients undergoing TSA. The purpose of the study is to determine if the addition of the pectoserratus block to the ISB will results in improvement in pain control and decrease in opioid use, among patients undergoing TSA. This is a randomized prospective controlled trial. All patients undergoing total shoulder arthroplasty or reverse total shoulder arthroplasty aged 18-85 will be considered eligible for the study. Participants will be randomized to one of 2 treatment groups. Group 1 will receive an ultrasound guided pectoserratus block with 25 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine. Group 2 will be the control and receive an ultrasound guided pectoserratus block with 25 mL of saline. The drug will be administered by the anesthesiologist in-charge of the participant's care or an anesthesiologist who is a part of the study team.

Pain Coach App for Postoperative Pain in Joint Replacement Surgery

Dartmouth, Nova Scotia
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the Pain Coach App will result in less opioids being prescribed to and used by patients undergoing Shoulder/Hip/Knee Arthroplasty surgery while maintaining the same or better pain control versus standard of care. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Will elective shoulder, hip and knee arthroplasty patients using PainCoach App be prescribed and/or use less opioids, measured by total morphine milliequivalents (MME) after surgery when compared to those treated as standard of care while maintaining similar pain control? 2. Will arthroplasty surgeons using PainCoach App write more patient-specific prescriptions resulting in a reduction in opioids prescribed after surgery with no increase in further opioids prescribed in the months following surgery? 3. Will the use of Pain Coach App lead to equal or reduced healthcare system utilization after surgery? 4. Will patients and surgeons using PainCoach App find it helpful enough to use it again and recommend to colleagues, family and friends? Researchers will compare participants assigned to use Pain Coach App vs participants assigned to standard of care arm to see if there are differences in opioid prescriptions and self reported use. Participants will either use the Pain Coach App or follow standard of care instructions and be followed forward for the opioid prescriptions dispensed in community and self-reported opioids use at study end.

Shoulder Arthroplasty for Shoulder Osteoarthritis

Salt Lake City, Utah
The primary goal of the investigators prospective randomized study is to determine whether reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) have at least as good results as anatomic TSA (non-inferiority), in patients with glenohumeral osteoarthritis, without rotator cuff tears nor significant glenoid retroversion. The secondary goals are 1) to evaluate whether RTSA eventually grants superior postoperative clinical and radiographic outcomes than anatomic TSA (superiority), 2) to determine whether RTSA is associated with fewer postoperative complications than anatomic TSA. The devices being used in the research are an Arthrex Universe system (Arthrex Univers Reverse vs Arthrex Apex humeral stem or Eclipse stem with a polyethylene glenoid). They are FDA approved, commonly used, and used as indicated. The anatomic replacement replaces the humeral head with a metal ball and the glenoid socket with a polyethylene glenoid component. The reverse shoulder replacement reverses these implants with the polyethylene socket on the humeral side and the glenosphere going on the glenoid side. In all cases, a deltopectoral incision will be used as the procedure type.

Chlorhexidine Gluconate for Infection Prevention in Shoulder Surgery

Seattle, Washington
The goal of this interventional study is to determine the amount of skin C. acnes reduction with increased pressure during the chlorhexidine gluconate, brand name ChloraPrep, application. The main question it aims to answer is: Does changing the pressure applied during the ChloraPrep application impact the amount of C. acnes bacteria on the skin after one hour? Researchers will compare ChloraPrep applied at a pressure similar to a gentle wipe to ChloraPrep applied at a pressure similar to a massage to see if wash the amount of C. acnes on the skin after one hour is different. Participants will have one shoulder washed with ChloraPrep using pressure meant to impact the dermal layer, similar to a gentle wipe, and the other shoulder washed with ChloraPrep using pressure meant to impact the subdermal layer, similar to a massage. Participants will have swabs taken of their skin before the ChloraPrep application and again one hour after application to look for the amount of C. acnes on the skin.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Shoulder Replacement 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 Replacement 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 Replacement 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 Replacement 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 Replacement 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 Replacement clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Oral Tranexamic Acid for Shoulder Replacement Surgery, Physical Therapy for Broken Humerus and Antimicrobial Wash for Shoulder Replacement Surgery to the Power online platform.
