Laser therapy for chronic shoulder pain due to rotator cuff inflammation
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a special laser device to reduce shoulder pain caused by soft tissue inflammation. It's for people with ongoing shoulder pain from rotator cuff issues. The laser is used directly on the skin over the painful area.

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.
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 trial compares two non-surgical treatments for supraspinatus tendinitis (a common shoulder tendon injury): high-intensity laser therapy and extracorporeal shock wave therapy. The study aims to see which approach better reduces pain and improves shoulder function in people with chronic shoulder pain.
This trial compares two non-invasive treatments — high-intensity laser therapy and extracorporeal shock wave therapy — for people with long-term pain in the supraspinatus tendon of the shoulder. The goal is to see which treatment better reduces tendon thickness and improves shoulder function.
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 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.
