Digital physiotherapy for shoulder pain compared with usual care
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares a digital physiotherapy program with usual physiotherapy for people who have shoulder pain that is not due to a recent injury. It aims to see if an app-based program can be as effective as in-person sessions.
