NCT ID NCT07550543

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether adding pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy to standard physical therapy and spa treatments can reduce pain and improve shoulder function in people with chronic shoulder tendinopathy. Sixty adults aged 18 to 70 with shoulder pain lasting over 3 months will receive either standard care or standard care plus daily PEMF sessions for two weeks. Researchers will measure pain, function, and quality of life right after treatment and again four weeks later.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

pulsed electromagnetic field therapy via a device called Super Inductive System

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a non-invasive, drug-free way to ease shoulder pain and improve function for people with chronic tendinopathy.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage trial with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The treatment is added to standard rehab, making it hard to know how much benefit comes from the device alone.
