Recruiting studies
- NCT07756203Recruiting
Comparing two hand-held treatments for shoulder pain
This study tests two non-surgical treatments for shoulder pain caused by shoulder impingement. Both treatments use hand-held tools to ease pain and improve movement.
IstanbulAges 40–60 - NCT06195956Recruiting
Lower body exercise for shoulder impingement pain
This study tests whether lower body exercises (like walking or leg presses) can help reduce shoulder pain from impingement. It's for people with shoulder pain that has lasted more than 6 weeks and who have not had surgery or a major injury.
GizaAges 20–45 - NCT07290660Recruiting
Motor imagery and exercise for shoulder pain
This study tests whether combining mental movement training with targeted exercises can reduce shoulder pain caused by impingement syndrome. It aims to improve your shoulder function without surgery.
IstanbulAges 25–65 - NCT06435494Enrolling by invitation
Using patient reports to improve shoulder care across clinics
This study tests whether asking patients about their shoulder symptoms using a phone or computer app can help doctors and therapists work together to improve care. It is for adults with shoulder pain that started without a sudden injury.
Gentofte Municipality, HellerupAges 18–120 - NCT06587399Recruiting
Manual Therapy vs. Shock Waves for Shoulder Pain
This study compares two non-surgical treatments—manual therapy (hands-on techniques) and radial shock wave therapy (sound wave pulses)—to see which works better for long-lasting shoulder pain. It may be a good fit if your pain is from a common cause called impingement syndrome.
Alcalá de Henares, MadridAges 18–80 - NCT06384430Recruiting
Shoulder impingement tests and ultrasound in diagnosis
This study looks at how certain shoulder tests and ultrasound images relate to each other in people with shoulder impingement (a common cause of shoulder pain). It aims to improve diagnosis and understand which tests work best.
MuğlaAges 18–70 - NCT06759935Recruiting
Laser therapy for chronic shoulder pain due to rotator cuff inflammation
This study tests a special laser device to reduce shoulder pain caused by soft tissue inflammation. It's for people with ongoing shoulder pain from rotator cuff issues. The laser is used directly on the skin over the painful area.
SerrisAges 18 years+ - NCT07608809Recruiting
Blood Flow Restriction Training vs. Pilates for Shoulder Pain
This study compares two exercise approaches—one using special wraps to limit blood flow during exercise, and standard Pilates—to treat shoulder impingement syndrome (a common condition causing shoulder pain with overhead movements). The goal is to see which method works better at reducing pain and improving shoulder function.
RāshidAges 4 months–1.1 years - NCT07624136Recruiting
Kinesio Taping for Shoulder Flexibility and Range of Motion
This study tests whether a special athletic tape (Kinesio tape) applied to your lower back and shoulder area can improve flexibility and reduce shoulder pain in people with chronic shoulder impingement syndrome—a condition where shoulder structures get pinched, causing long-term pain and stiffness.
Ankara, AltindagAges 20–40 - NCT07464639Enrolling by invitation
Comparing two ways to help shoulder pain with movement feedback
This study compares using ultrasound images (dynamic visual feedback) versus manual guidance to help activate shoulder blade muscles and improve space in the shoulder joint for people with shoulder pain when lifting their arm.
Long Beach, CaliforniaAges 18–70 - NCT07520669Recruiting
Shoulder Surgery to Prevent Too Much Rotation
This study tests whether a surgical technique called capsuloplasty can prevent excessive external rotation (outward twisting) of the shoulder after surgery for recurrent shoulder dislocation. The goal is to help contact sport athletes return to activity safely.
MérignacAges 18–50 - NCT07228936Recruiting
Pectoralis minor tightness and rotator cuff tears
This trial looks at whether tightness in a small chest muscle (pectoralis minor) is linked to rotator cuff tears. If you have a partial rotator cuff tear or a healthy shoulder, you might be able to join to help answer this question.
Ankara, CankayaAges 18–55 - NCT06473142Recruiting
Body posture and shoulder pain study
This study looks at how your body posture might be related to shoulder pain. It is for people with shoulder impingement (pain when lifting the arm) who are not athletes. The goal is to understand if posture plays a role in shoulder problems.
CairoAges 20–40 - NCT07369934Recruiting
Virtual reality vs. manual therapy for shoulder pain
This study compares virtual reality exercises with a hands-on therapy technique (Mulligan mobilization) to improve shoulder posture and function in people with subacromial impingement syndrome. It aims to find which approach may relieve pain and help you move better.
GizaAges 30–50 - NCT07053566Enrolling by invitation
Back muscle strengthening for rotator cuff tendinopathy
This study tests whether strengthening a back muscle (latissimus dorsi) helps people with rotator cuff tendinopathy. You may be able to join if you have had shoulder pain for at least 3 months and meet certain medical criteria.
AnkaraAges 18–50

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for shoulder impingement?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 15 recruiting shoulder impingement studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a shoulder impingement trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a shoulder impingement trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
