Shoulder impingement syndrome

This study is testing a new device called PropArm-PosiMoF (PropArm) that aims to measure proprioception—your sense of where your arm is and how much force it uses—in the upper limbs. Researchers will first check how reliable and accurate the device is in healthy young adults, the…

This trial tests whether adding thoracic spine manipulation and instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization to standard physical therapy helps people with shoulder impingement syndrome. Participants, aged 18 to 55, will receive either conventional therapy alone or conventional t…

This trial tests whether a single 2-hour online pain skills session, called Empowered Relief, can help adults with subacromial shoulder pain who are following a 12-week exercise program. Researchers want to know if the session reduces unhelpful thoughts and fears about pain, and …

This study looks at whether core stability training can improve shoulder function in manual workers with shoulder impingement syndrome. Forty participants will either do core exercises or standard physical therapy. The goal is to see if strengthening the core reduces shoulder dis…

This study tests whether adding a pain-relieving gel (diclofenac) to shock wave therapy can better reduce pain and improve shoulder function in people with shoulder impingement syndrome. Seventy adults aged 25–40 with moderate shoulder pain will be randomly assigned to receive ei…

This study tests whether adding neck-strengthening exercises to standard physical therapy can reduce pain and improve shoulder function in people with shoulder impingement syndrome. Forty-two adults with shoulder pain will be split into two groups: one gets standard therapy alone…

This study tests whether adding dry needling to exercise improves shoulder function, strength, and pain in athletes with subacromial pain syndrome. Forty amateur athletes will be randomly assigned to receive either dry needling plus exercise or exercise alone. The goal is to see …

This study will compare two exercises—prone row and lateral pull down—in 54 adults aged 40-65 with shoulder impingement and scapular dyskinesia. The goal is to see which exercise better reduces pain, improves strength in key shoulder muscles, and enhances function. Participants w…

This study compares a home-based digital rehab program to standard in-person physical therapy for people with shoulder pain (subacromial impingement). About 82 adults will be randomly assigned to either a 12-24 week digital program using a smartphone or computer, or conventional …

This study tests whether taking tranexamic acid pills for a week after knee replacement surgery helps people recover better. 350 adults having their first knee replacement will receive either the drug or a placebo. Researchers will track pain, stiffness, and function for up to 2 …

This study looks at whether combining a hands-on therapy that releases tight muscles with specific shoulder exercises can improve how the shoulder blade moves and reduce pain in tennis players with shoulder impingement. About 36 tennis players with mild to moderate shoulder pain …

This study compares two common therapies—kinesio taping and dry needling—for treating subacromial pain syndrome, a frequent cause of shoulder pain. Researchers will enroll 100 adults aged 18-65 with shoulder pain lasting over 6 weeks. The goal is to see which approach, or a combi…

This study looks at how often nociplastic pain, a type of pain caused by altered nerve processing rather than tissue damage, occurs in people with subacromial pain syndrome (SAPS). Researchers will examine 400 adults aged 18 to 70 with shoulder pain lasting at least 3 months. Par…

This study follows 134 adults with subacromial pain syndrome, a common cause of shoulder pain. All receive a routine corticosteroid injection into the shoulder as part of usual care. Researchers test whether people with a nociplastic pain phenotype, a type of pain processing that…

This observational study in Mexico will follow 30 adults already taking tirzepatide for conditions like diabetes or obesity. Researchers will use MRI scans of the knees, CT scans of the heart, and body composition tests to see how the drug affects cartilage, heart fat, and overal…
