TECAR therapy for shoulder impingement pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a new treatment called Transfer Energy Capacitive Resistive Therapy (TECAR) to reduce shoulder pain and improve function in people with shoulder impingement syndrome. If you have nagging shoulder pain when lifting your arm, this treatment might help you avoid more invasive procedures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 25 and 40 years old.

- Raising your arm overhead hurts or is hard to do.
- Your doctor has diagnosed you with stage II shoulder impingement (Neer's classification).

This study tests a therapy that uses energy and resistance to improve shoulder movement in people with frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis). It may help reduce stiffness and increase your range of motion.
This trial tests a non-invasive treatment called TECAR therapy for people with chronic shoulder tendonitis (supraspinatus tendinitis). It uses energy to help reduce pain and improve healing. You may qualify if you have had shoulder pain for at least a month and are not able to have surgery.
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 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.
This study looks at how certain muscles work in people with shoulder impingement (a common cause of shoulder pain). It uses a test called electromyography to measure muscle activity, which can help guide better physical therapy.
This study compares two ways to treat subacromial impingement syndrome (a common cause of shoulder pain with overhead activities): doing exercises through a video platform at home versus attending in-person physical therapy sessions. The goal is to see which approach works better and is more practical for patients.
