Summary

This study tested a treatment called ultrasound-guided percutaneous neuromodulation in 42 CrossFit athletes with shoulder pain lasting over 3 months. The treatment uses a thin needle to deliver mild electrical stimulation near nerves to improve muscle function. Researchers measured changes in shoulder strength, mobility, and muscle control to see if this approach could reduce pain and improve performance.
