Mental training with exercise for chronic shoulder pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding mental training (watching movements and imagining yourself moving) to regular physical therapy exercises improves shoulder pain and function. If you have a muscle-related shoulder problem and meet the basic health requirements, this program might help you recover more effectively.

It may be a good fit if you have had shoulder pain for over three months with changes seen on MRI or ultrasound.
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.
This study compares two non-surgical treatments for long-lasting shoulder pain: a new approach called cognitive functional therapy that combines movement with education, versus standard exercises. If you have chronic shoulder pain and are looking for a drug-free option, this trial may help you find which treatment works better.
