Ultrasound for shoulder impingement diagnosis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study uses dynamic ultrasound (moving ultrasound) to look at shoulder impingement, a common cause of shoulder pain. It may help doctors diagnose and understand your condition better without invasive procedures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have shoulder pain and tests suggest shoulder impingement syndrome.
- You have not had surgery on your shoulder before.
- You do not have shoulder instability, a broken shoulder bone, or a history of radiation to the shoulder.
- You do not have tumors or birth defects in your shoulder.
- You are able to have an MRI (no metal implants, pacemaker, very strong claustrophobia, etc.).

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 tests whether lower body exercises (like walking or leg presses) can help reduce shoulder pain from impingement. It's for people with shoulder pain that has lasted more than 6 weeks and who have not had surgery or a major injury.
This study compares two different shoulder-strengthening exercises for people with shoulder impingement syndrome (a condition where shoulder structures get pinched) combined with scapular dyskinesia (abnormal shoulder blade movement). The goal is to see which exercise works better to reduce pain and improve shoulder function.
This study looks at how certain shoulder tests and ultrasound images relate to each other in people with shoulder impingement (a common cause of shoulder pain). It aims to improve diagnosis and understand which tests work best.
This study uses MRI scans to examine the shoulder in people with subacromial impingement syndrome. It aims to better understand the condition and how it appears on imaging.
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.
