Participants are being invited to take part in this research study because you will be undergoing total shoulder replacement or rotator cuff repair and will be participating in physical therapy rehabilitation following the procedure. The purpose of this research is to investigate the effectiveness of Band Connect, a connected health platform, in enhancing compliance with home exercise programs among patients undergoing physical therapy. This study aims to evaluate the implications of increased compliance on improving patient engagement and increasing satisfaction for both patients and clinicians. Additionally, the study will analyze the economic implications of implementing Band Connect's hybrid care model on driving increased revenue per patient.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Why Other Patients Applied

"As a healthy volunteer, I like to participate in as many trials as I'm able to. It's a good way to help research and earn money."

Healthy Volunteer PatientAge: 38

"My orthopedist recommended a half replacement of my right knee. I have had both hips replaced. Currently have arthritis in knee, shoulder, and thumb. I want to avoid surgery, and I'm open-minded about trying a trial before using surgery as a last resort."

HZ
Arthritis PatientAge: 78

"I have dealt with voice and vocal fold issues related to paralysis for over 12 years. This problem has negatively impacted virtually every facet of my life. I am an otherwise healthy 48 year old married father of 3 living. My youngest daughter is 12 and has never heard my real voice. I am now having breathing issues related to the paralysis as well as trouble swallowing some liquids. In my research I have seen some recent trials focused on helping people like me."

Paralysis PatientAge: 50

"I changed my diet in 2020 and I’ve lost 95 pounds from my highest weight (283). I am 5’3”, female, and now 188. I still have a 33 BMI. I've been doing research on alternative approaches to continue my progress, which brought me here to consider clinical trials."

WR
Obesity PatientAge: 58

"I've tried several different SSRIs over the past 23 years with no luck. Some of these new treatments seem interesting... haven't tried anything like them before. I really hope that one could work."

Frequently Asked Questions

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

Most recently, we added Stemless Reverse Shoulder Replacement for Joint Surgery, Band Connect for Shoulder Surgery Recovery and Surgiphor for Shoulder Replacement Surgery to the Power online platform.
