NCT ID NCT06838767
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether adding a 'kinetic chain' exercise approach to standard treatment helps people with rotator cuff tendinopathy. 44 adults aged 40-65 with shoulder pain were split into two groups: one got standard care, the other added kinetic chain exercises. Researchers measured pain, disability, and fear of movement after 18 sessions.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
kinetic chain approach (a series of coordinated movements involving the whole body) plus conventional treatment
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a more effective physical therapy option for shoulder pain and movement fear.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial with only 44 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The approach is not a cure and may not work for all patients.
