Testing mirror training after rotator cuff repair
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This trial looks at whether mirror-based arm exercises (“cross-education”) help recovery after arthroscopic rotator cuff surgery. It may help improve shoulder movement and function by training the other arm to support rehab.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 35 and 65 years old
- You already had arthroscopic rotator cuff repair surgery
- You can read and write in Turkish
- You have not had shoulder revision surgery and no prior shoulder surgery
- You do not have conditions that can affect shoulder, neck, spine, nerves, or rehab (like frozen shoulder, instability, cervical nerve pain, certain nerve/skin/vision problems)

This trial tests if learning about pain before and after rotator cuff repair helps people recover better. It might help you if you have a medium-sized tear and are planning surgery.
This study compares two physical therapy rehab plans to see which helps people recover better after a severe, irreparable rotator cuff tear. It may help you find the pace of rehab that works best for your shoulder and daily function.
This study tests whether an accelerated (faster) rehabilitation plan after surgery works as well as standard care for people with a large, multi-tendon rotator cuff tear. It may help you recover function sooner, depending on how your tear and health fit the study rules.
This study tests whether using a communication app to help you do home rehabilitation after arthroscopic shoulder surgery improves recovery and function. If you have a small to medium full-thickness rotator cuff tear (or certain subscapularis tears) and can commit to follow-up for two years, you may be eligible.
This study compares two types of exercise therapy after rotator cuff repair surgery. One group will do standard exercises, while the other will use a special blood flow restriction band during exercise. The goal is to see which approach leads to better recovery.
This study looks at how the brain and muscles work, along with mood and pain, in people after rotator cuff surgery for a major tear. It may help researchers understand recovery problems and psychological effects that can happen after surgery.
