This study tests whether virtual reality exercises can help people with long-lasting shoulder pain. You would do virtual reality rehab for about 4 weeks, and the goal is to see if it improves how you use your arm and feel day-to-day.
This study tests whether giving you immediate feedback during shoulder exercises helps reduce rotator cuff-related shoulder pain. The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons in your shoulder; this trial focuses on people with impingement, bursitis, tendon inflammation, or small tears.
This study tests whether using a blood pressure cuff during gentle shoulder exercises can help reduce pain and improve movement. It is for people with ongoing shoulder pain related to the rotator cuff (the muscles and tendons that help lift and rotate your arm).
This study tests whether a special exercise program that trains you to focus your attention in different ways can reduce shoulder pain and improve function. You'll do exercises designed to help your rotator cuff (the muscles that stabilize your shoulder) while learning to shift your mental focus during movement.
This trial tests whether learning movement techniques combined with sensorimotor training (exercises that improve how your brain controls your shoulder) can help reduce chronic shoulder pain caused by rotator cuff problems. It may be a good fit if you have had shoulder pain for over three months with changes seen on MRI or ultrasound.
This study tests a 4-week program of gentle shoulder exercises using a special cuff that mildly restricts blood flow to the muscles. The goal is to see if this approach can reduce pain and improve function in people with long-lasting rotator cuff-related shoulder pain.
