Summary
This study looks at how the upper trapezius muscle (a muscle in the upper back and neck) works in people with long-term shoulder pain. Researchers will compare 100 adults—half with chronic shoulder pain and half without—using imaging and movement tests. The goal is to understand how muscle thickness, fat content, and activation patterns relate to pain, which may help improve future treatments.
