SUBACROMIAL IMPINGEMENT SYNDROME

This study tested two treatments for shoulder pain caused by subacromial impingement syndrome. 94 adults received either high-intensity laser therapy or a combination of physical therapy treatments, plus exercises. Researchers measured pain, function, and quality of life right af…

This study tested two different exercise programs—Blackburn stabilization and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF)—in 51 adults with shoulder impingement syndrome. Participants did 18 sessions over six weeks, adding these exercises to a standard routine. The goal was t…

This study tested whether adding scapular stabilization exercises to standard physiotherapy helps people with shoulder impingement syndrome. Sixty adults with shoulder pain were randomly assigned to either the special exercises or routine physiotherapy for 12 weeks. Researchers m…

This study looked at whether Pilates exercises can reduce shoulder pain and improve function in people with subacromial impingement syndrome, a common cause of shoulder pain. 34 adults with shoulder pain for at least three months took part. They were split into two groups: one di…

This study looked at whether kinesiotaping (a special elastic tape) can immediately reduce pain, improve body awareness, and fix posture in people with rounded shoulders and shoulder impingement. 114 adults with neck pain took part. Researchers measured pain, posture, and joint p…

This study tested whether strengthening the muscles that help keep the shoulder joint stable (humeral head depressors) can improve function and reduce pain in people with subacromial impingement syndrome. Forty participants were split into two groups: one did targeted strengtheni…

This study tested whether adding thoracic (upper back) extension exercises or kinesio taping to standard shoulder exercises could improve pain, function, and strength in adults with subacromial pain syndrome. 75 participants were split into three groups and exercised five days a …

This study looked at 101 people with shoulder impingement syndrome to see if the angle of a certain shoulder bone (the critical shoulder angle) is related to how well they sense their shoulder's position and how much disability they feel. Researchers measured the bone angle from …

This study looked at 44 people with shoulder pain from rotator cuff tears to see if a condition called central sensitization (where the nervous system is extra sensitive to pain) changes how well a steroid injection works. Participants got a shot of betamethasone and prilocaine i…

This study looked at 44 people with shoulder pain from rotator cuff problems to see if their level of central sensitization (a heightened pain response in the nervous system) affected how well a steroid injection worked. Researchers measured pain sensitivity before the injection …
