Summary

This trial asks whether a telerehabilitation program—guided exercises done at home—can reduce shoulder pain and disability as effectively as traditional in-person physiotherapy. Adults aged 18 to 60 with persistent shoulder pain lasting at least three months are randomly assigned to either remote or in-person sessions, both focusing on strengthening key shoulder muscles. Over 12 weeks, researchers measure changes in pain, function, and confidence in managing symptoms. The goal is to see if remote care can expand access to effective treatment for those who face barriers like travel or long wait times.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Telerehabilitation program of therapeutic strengthening exercises
What this could lead to
If effective, this could offer a convenient, low-cost alternative to in-person physiotherapy for people with persistent shoulder pain, improving access to care.
What could go wrong
The trial is relatively small and results may not apply to all shoulder conditions. Telerehabilitation may not suit everyone, and some patients may prefer or need hands-on guidance.
