First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 26, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study compares two non-surgical treatments for rotator cuff syndrome, a common cause of shoulder pain. Researchers will test if video game-based exercises or body awareness therapy better reduce pain and improve movement. 66 adults with partial rotator cuff tears will participate, and their pain, range of motion, and quality of life will be measured.
