Study Summary
This study is a randomized controlled trial using Duke patients to test, compared to the standard of care, a questionnaire and statistical model used to determine how patient preference regarding shoulder pain, physical limitations, physical therapy, recovery period, prognosis, and cost impact choice of surgical versus non-surgical intervention. Phase 1 of this study is the initial testing of the instrument and involves a small group of up to 10 individuals who will partake in one-on-one interviews while completing the Shoulder Injury Survey to provide feedback. In Phase 2 of this study, 200 subjects will be randomized to receive either the Decision Tool or the standard Information on Shoulder Dislocation

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT02656277
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT02656277 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 210 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Duke University, which has 1,129 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Shoulder Dislocation appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Decision Tool is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT02656277 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include North Carolina. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
