Can we decode shoulder pain scores to improve rotator cuff care?
NCT ID NCT06677320
First seen Aug 13, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This observational study looks at people with rotator cuff disease to better understand what changes in shoulder function scores really mean. It aims to define the smallest meaningful improvement, substantial benefit, acceptable symptom state, and maximum improvement for several shoulder questionnaires. Participants will undergo two months of exercise treatment, and researchers will track their scores to identify risk factors that might prevent meaningful progress.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Exercise
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors interpret shoulder scores more accurately, guiding better treatment decisions for rotator cuff patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small observational study, so results may not apply to all patients. It does not test a new treatment, and the exercise component is standard care.
