NCT ID NCT07148687
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether AI chatbots (ChatGPT and DeepSeek) could help create better exercise plans for people with shoulder pain (subacromial pain syndrome). 75 adults were split into three groups: standard physiotherapy, standard plus ChatGPT exercises, or standard plus DeepSeek exercises. After 6 weeks, researchers measured pain, disability, and movement to see if AI-guided rehab improved outcomes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
AI-generated exercise recommendations from ChatGPT and DeepSeek, combined with standard physiotherapy
What this could lead to
If it works, this could show that AI can help create more effective, personalized exercise plans for shoulder pain, potentially improving recovery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 75 people. The AI recommendations were supervised by a physiotherapist, so results may not apply to unsupervised use. The effect may be small or no better than standard care.
