Shoulder impingement tests and ultrasound in diagnosis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.

This study uses MRI scans to examine the shoulder in people with subacromial impingement syndrome. It aims to better understand the condition and how it appears on imaging.
This study tests two non-surgical treatments for shoulder pain caused by shoulder impingement. Both treatments use hand-held tools to ease pain and improve movement.
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 looks at how pain, thinking patterns, and sticking to treatment relate in people with shoulder impingement. It aims to help improve physical therapy programs by understanding these factors.
This study looks at how your body posture might be related to shoulder pain. It is for people with shoulder impingement (pain when lifting the arm) who are not athletes. The goal is to understand if posture plays a role in shoulder problems.
This trial tests if kinesiology taping (a special type of tape applied to the shoulder) plus exercises that strengthen the shoulder blades works better than just exercises alone for people with shoulder impingement syndrome (a common cause of shoulder pain). You may qualify if you have had pain on the front or side of your shoulder for at least 3 months and have certain positive tests from a physical therapist.
