Shoulder pain study: is a therapist better than home workouts?
NCT ID NCT07568340
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a physiotherapist-supervised exercise program works better than doing exercises at home for people with shoulder impingement syndrome. 63 adults with shoulder pain will be split into three groups: supervised rehab, home exercises, or no treatment. Researchers will measure pain, movement, and quality of life after four weeks to see which approach helps more.
