Exercise comparison for rotator cuff tendon pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of physical therapy exercises for shoulder tendon pain (rotator cuff tendinopathy) under the shoulder bone. It may help you find which exercise approach reduces pain and improves function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have pain under the shoulder bone (subacromial pain).
- Your diagnosis is rotator cuff tendon trouble (including related conditions like impingement or biceps tendon irritation).
- Your symptoms have lasted at least 30 days.
- You have not had prior surgery on your shoulder.
- Your pain is not caused by a neck nerve problem (no cervical radiculopathy).
- You do not have a full-thickness rotator cuff tear or frozen shoulder.

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.
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.
This trial compares different exercise approaches to treat long-term pain in the biceps tendon of the shoulder. It aims to find which types of movement help relieve pain and improve function for people with certain shoulder conditions.
This trial tests whether adding upper back mobility exercises to shoulder blade exercises helps people with shoulder pain (subacromial pain syndrome) feel better and move easier.
This trial tests whether kettlebell training can help people with long-lasting shoulder pain caused by rotator cuff tendon problems or small tears. You would do kettlebell exercises and see if your pain and strength improve.
This trial studies a specific therapeutic exercise program for rotator cuff tendon pain and subacromial pain (a pinching-type shoulder problem). It also looks at what changes in your symptoms and body function after the exercises.
