Summary

This study tests whether using virtual reality (VR) headsets during shoulder exercises is practical and acceptable for people with long-term shoulder pain. Twenty participants will do three weekly VR exercise sessions at a hospital. Researchers will measure pain, movement, and quality of life, and interview participants about their experience. The goal is to see if a larger trial is worth doing.

What this could mean

Active substance
Virtual Reality exercise program (SyncVR platform)
What this could lead to
If this approach works, it could make physiotherapy more engaging and help people stick with their exercises, potentially improving shoulder pain and function.
What could go wrong
This is a very small feasibility study with only 20 people and no control group. It is designed to see if a larger trial is possible, not to prove effectiveness. The VR program may not be suitable for everyone.
