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 - 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 - NCT07568340Recruiting
Supervised versus home exercises for shoulder impingement
This trial compares two ways to treat subacromial impingement syndrome (a common shoulder condition causing pain with overhead movements): supervised rehabilitation sessions versus exercises you do at home. The goal is to see which approach works better for reducing pain and improving shoulder function.
Kırşehir, KırşehirAges 30–65 - 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 - NCT07324343Recruiting
Education for shoulder pain: which patients benefit most?
This study tests whether patients with different types of shoulder pain respond better to learning about their condition through education alone. You will receive information and advice to help you manage your pain without injections or surgery.
IstanbulAges 18–65 - NCT07415967Recruiting
Dual-task exercise for rotator cuff shoulder pain
This study tests an exercise program that combines shoulder movements with mental tasks (like counting or naming things) to improve pain and function. It is for people with ongoing shoulder pain from common rotator cuff problems.
IstanbulAges 18–65 - 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 - NCT07293702Recruiting
IASTM therapy for shoulder pain from impingement
This study tests a hands-on therapy called IASTM (instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization) to see if it can reduce pain, improve movement, and help your shoulder feel more stable. It is for people with subacromial impingement syndrome, a common cause of shoulder pain.
IstanbulAges 40–60 - 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 - NCT07646899Recruiting
Unstable Loads and Shoulder Movement in Overhead Athletes
This study investigates how using unstable equipment (like a wobbly barbell) affects shoulder blade movement and muscle use during overhead pressing in athletes with shoulder impingement pain. The goal is to understand whether unstable loads might help improve shoulder mechanics and reduce pain in overhead athletes.
TaipeiAges 18–40 - NCT04644042Recruiting
Surgery for shoulder pain after non-surgical treatment fails
This trial looks at whether arthroscopic subacromial decompression surgery helps people whose “impingement” shoulder pain hasn’t improved after supervised exercises and an injection. It may help if your symptoms match their specific non-responder pattern and you can complete rehab visits.
Hvidovre, DenmarkAges 18–99 - NCT06688214Recruiting
Kinesiology taping and shoulder exercises for shoulder pain
This trial tests if kinesiology taping (a special type of tape applied to the shoulder) plus exercises that strengthen the shoulder blades works better than just exercises alone for people with shoulder impingement syndrome (a common cause of shoulder pain). You may qualify if you have had pain on the front or side of your shoulder for at least 3 months and have certain positive tests from a physical therapist.
Lahore, Punjab ProvinceAges 18–55 - NCT07675655Recruiting

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for shoulder impingement syndrome?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 24 recruiting shoulder impingement syndrome 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 syndrome 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 syndrome 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.
