NCT ID NCT06718296
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is creating a new tool that uses photographs to assess how shoulder pain affects everyday activities like reaching or lifting. Researchers will test the scale on 100 people with shoulder pain lasting more than three months. The goal is to provide a clearer, patient-friendly way to measure functional limitations in clinical practice.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could give doctors a simple, visual tool to better understand how shoulder pain affects daily life, leading to more tailored treatments.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage, observational study focused on developing a measurement tool, not testing a treatment. The scale may not prove more useful than existing questionnaires.
