Laser or nerve therapy for shoulder pain after liver donation
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests if a low-level laser or gentle movement therapy for nerves in the arm can help relieve shoulder pain after donating part of your liver. You will be randomly assigned to one of two treatments and attend supervised sessions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 50 years old.
- You have right-sided shoulder pain after donating part of your liver (you will start the program at least 1 week after surgery).
- Your shoulder pain is moderate to severe (score of 5 or more on a 0–10 pain scale).
- You do not have diabetes, broken bones, heart or lung problems, spinal cord injury, cancer, or a psychological condition that would interfere with the therapy.

This study tests if stimulating a nerve in the neck can reduce right shoulder pain caused by liver or gallbladder problems. It may offer a non-drug option for managing this type of pain.
This study compares three treatments for frozen shoulder: high-intensity laser therapy, steroid injection, and manual therapy. It aims to find which approach works best for reducing pain and improving movement in people with this condition.
This study compares two non-invasive treatments—low-level laser therapy and electrical nerve stimulation—to see which works better for relieving moderate to severe shoulder pain in people who have had a stroke. If you have had a stroke in the last 2 weeks to 6 months and have shoulder pain, this trial may be an option for you.
This study tests whether high-intensity laser therapy helps reduce pain and improve healing after arthroscopic shoulder surgery to repair a rotator cuff tear. Laser therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses focused light to potentially reduce inflammation and pain.
This study tests whether a high-intensity laser can safely reduce shoulder pain in people who have had a stroke. If you are between 30 and 75, had a stroke in the last 6 months, and have moderate or worse shoulder pain on your weak side, you may be able to join.
This trial tests whether low-level laser therapy can reduce nerve pain (tingling, numbness, or electric shocks) that some people feel in their neck and shoulder area after a radical neck dissection. It's for patients who have had this type of surgery on one side of the neck and still have moderate to severe pain.
