Arm and shoulder blade exercises for chronic neck pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests if combining arm movement exercises with shoulder blade stabilization exercises helps people with long-term neck pain and abnormal shoulder blade motion. It aims to reduce pain and improve function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests if special exercises for the shoulder blade (scapula) can reduce shoulder pain better than standard exercises. It is for people with shoulder pain that has lasted at least one month and who have a shoulder blade that moves incorrectly.
This trial tests if specific shoulder and arm exercises can improve movement and walking in people who had a stroke and have shoulder blade problems. It may help if you have some muscle tightness but can still follow instructions.
This study compares two types of exercise (ShoulderSphere and Bodyblade) to improve shoulder blade movement. It is for people who have scapular dyskinesia but no current or recent shoulder pain.
This research study examines how shoulder blade movement patterns relate to shoulder muscle strength and space in the shoulder joint. You may be a good fit if you have shoulder blade positioning issues but no pain, and researchers want to understand these connections before problems develop.
This study tests two exercise programs—YWTL exercises and close kinetic chain exercises—for children with a shoulder blade movement problem. It aims to find which exercises help reduce pain and improve arm function.
This study tests whether specific shoulder and upper-back exercises can reduce pain in women who are breastfeeding and have a condition called scapular dyskinesia, where the shoulder blade doesn't move properly. The goal is to help you feel better during and after breastfeeding.
