Rotator Cuff Injuries clinical trials
The registry lists 631 studies for Rotator Cuff Injuries across more than 10 countries. 156 are recruiting or about to start. 546 of them are mainly about Rotator Cuff Injuries (how this is decided). Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-11-09.
ClinicalTrials.gov finds 689 studies for Rotator Cuff Injuries. How that becomes 631 here
This page counts the studies the registry files under Rotator Cuff Injuries, and those it files under no condition that list Rotator Cuff Injuriesthemselves. Each study its search finds is placed by how the registry filed it and by the conditions it lists. ClinicalTrials.gov counts as of Nov 8, 2026. How condition pages count
- 689Found by its condition searchIt reads the conditions a study lists and their synonyms, and also titles and keywords.
- −6List Rotator Cuff Injuries as a condition, but the registry did not file them under itMost often written as “Rotator Cuff Tear Arthropathy” (3), “Partial Thickness Rotator Cuff Tear” (1), and “Rotator Cuff Tear Repair” (1). The registry filed them under other conditions only, most often Rotator Cuff Tear Arthropathy (3) and Osteonecrosis (3).
- −101Match it another way10 name it in the title, 1 in a keyword, and 90 by a synonym or other text the search reads.
- 582Counted here and found by its search2 of them list Rotator Cuff Injuries in their own words; the registry filed them under no condition.

How long Rotator Cuff Injuries studies take
Of 21 phase 4 interventional studies under Rotator Cuff Injuries, half reached primary completion within 30 months of starting, counting those still running.
| Start to primary completion | Every sponsor | Industry | Non-industry |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phase 4 | 30 mo14–58 · 21 studies | — | — |
| Interventional, no phase | 23 mo11–44 · 252 studies | — | 19 mo10–39 · 228 studies |
| Observational | 46 mo17–165 · 72 studies | — | 42 mo15–67 · 57 studies |
Each figure is the month by which half the studies had reached primary completion, with the range in which the middle half did. Studies still running count until their last registry update; studies that stopped early are left out. Phase 1 includes early phase 1; observational means prospective or not stated, as retrospective and cross-sectional studies date a window of data rather than a study. How these figures are worked out
