First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 07, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study compares two exercise programs for people with rotator cuff-related shoulder pain. One group gets a standard, fixed program, while the other gets the same exercises but with personalized touches like preferred music, choice of exercises, and motivational feedback. Researchers want to see if these extras improve pain, function, and long-term recovery. The trial involves 72 adults and lasts 12 weeks with a 12-month follow-up.
