NCT ID NCT05957952
First seen Jun 30, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether adding a type of tape called dynamic tape to shoulder exercises helps people with shoulder impingement syndrome. Participants will do motor control exercises either with or without the tape. The goal is to see if the tape improves shoulder movement, muscle activity, and brain signals, and reduces pain and disability.

- Active substance
- dynamic tape
- What this could lead to
- If effective, this approach could offer a simple, non-drug way to improve shoulder function and reduce pain for people with shoulder impingement.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 34 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The benefits of dynamic tape over exercise alone remain uncertain.
