Condition
Shoulder Pain
Shoulder pain has many causes, making pooled research hard to interpret.
Quick summary
- • Cause-specific interpretation is required
Overview
Shoulder pain may arise from tendon, joint, or surrounding structures.
Mechanisms studied
Depends on the underlying pathology.
Human research
Specific data remains limited.
Safety
Reported adverse events are mostly local — swelling, pain, or bruising at the harvest and injection sites. Infection and cell-processing quality remain the key risks to monitor.
Evidence limitations
Existing studies are limited by sample size, methodology, and follow-up, and SVF preparation differs substantially between centres, making cross-study comparison difficult.
