Condition

Shoulder Pain

Shoulder pain has many causes, making pooled research hard to interpret.

Insufficient· Insufficient Evidence

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.
