Heavy slow resistance vs eccentric training for shoulder pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two types of exercise programs to see which is better at reducing shoulder pain and improving function in people with rotator cuff tendinopathy. It may help you find an effective way to manage your shoulder pain without surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have shoulder pain when lifting your arm or reaching overhead.
- You have been diagnosed with rotator cuff tendinopathy, such as subacromial impingement, biceps tendinitis, or stage I or II rotator cuff issues.
- Your shoulder symptoms have lasted for at least 30 days.
- You have not had shoulder surgery in the past.

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 study tests whether a strict, well-monitored treatment plan works better for recent-onset rotator cuff tendinopathy (pain from the tendons around your shoulder). It aims to see if controlling treatment closely can help you recover faster.
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 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 adding thoracic mobility exercises to standard scapular stabilization exercises helps reduce shoulder pain and improve function in people with subacromial pain syndrome, a common cause of shoulder pain. If you have had shoulder pain for more than six weeks, this trial might help you find relief.
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.
