Full-thickness Rotator Cuff Tear clinical trials at UCSF

• PEMF as Adjunctive Treatment Following Surgical Repair of Full Thickness Rotator Cuff Tears

  Sorry, accepting new patients by invitation only

  The primary objective of this study is to prospectively determine, at 12 months post-surgical repair of full thickness rotator cuff tears, the safety and efficacy of treating full thickness rotator cuff repairs with pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF). The hypothesis states that exposure to a pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) following surgical repair of a full thickness rotator cuff tendon tear reduces tendon re-tear rates. The strength of the shoulder muscles and the levels of pain in subjects after surgical repair of their rotator cuff adjunctively treated with an active PEMF device will also be measured.
