NCT ID NCT07265765
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether Pilates exercises can reduce shoulder pain and improve function in people with subacromial impingement syndrome, a common cause of shoulder pain. 34 adults with shoulder pain for at least three months took part. They were split into two groups: one did Pilates, the other did standard physical therapy. The study measured pain, shoulder function, and range of motion to see which approach worked better.
