Exercise or supplements for rotator cuff shoulder pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares two non-surgical ways to treat shoulder pain caused by rotator cuff problems: specific exercises versus nutritional supplements. It aims to see which helps more, and you would receive one of these treatments for your pain.
