SupraScapular Cuff Study: Assessing the Effects of Size and Type of Rotator Cuff Tear on Suprascapular Nerve Function

NCT06002009 · Status: RECRUITING · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 250

Last updated 2025-09-03

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The primary objective of the study is to determine in adult patients with a rotator cuff tear, what size and pattern of rotator cuff tear would result in damage to the suprascapular nerve.

The secondary objectives are

1. To determine if an injured suprascapular nerve can recover if the rotator cuff tear is surgically repaired.
2. To determine if there is a limit of retraction before the suprascapular nerve is irreversibly damaged.
3. To determine factors that are protective against SSN injury.
4. Can the patient data gathered be used to optimise operative procedures.
