Using ultrasound to check shoulder impingement pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study uses a special ultrasound (sound waves) to look at your shoulder while you move it, to see if it can find the cause of your pain. It compares ultrasound with MRI to improve diagnosis of shoulder impingement, which may help guide your treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have shoulder pain and a doctor's exam that suggests shoulder impingement (pinching of tendons).
- You have not had surgery on that shoulder in the past.
- You have not had instability, fractures, radiation, tumors, or birth defects in the shoulder.
- You are able to have an MRI (no metal implants, pacemaker, or claustrophobia).

This trial measures how certain back and shoulder muscles work in people with shoulder impingement syndrome. It may help understand better ways to treat this condition.
This study tests two hands-on treatments for shoulder pain from impingement. It aims to see if combining them helps reduce pain and improve movement better than usual care.
This study uses MRI scans to look at the shoulder in people with subacromial impingement syndrome, a common cause of shoulder pain when tendons rub against the shoulder bone. By joining, you help doctors understand this condition better, which may improve diagnosis and treatment in the future.
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 study tests a treatment that combines sound waves and a pain-relieving gel applied to the shoulder to help reduce pain and improve movement. It is for people with shoulder impingement, where tendons get pinched during arm lifting.
This study looks at whether specific neck and shoulder exercises can help reduce shoulder impingement pain (pain when lifting your arm). It may help you feel better and move more easily without surgery.
