NCT ID NCT07410208
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a tailored physiotherapy program after a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection could reduce pain and improve movement in people with shoulder impingement syndrome. Fifty-four adults aged 30-65 with stage I or II shoulder impingement took part. The treatment group received the special physiotherapy plus standard care, while the control group received only standard care. The goal was to find a better way to manage this common shoulder problem.
