Muscle activity in shoulder impingement syndrome
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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.
This study compares two exercises (rowing while lying face down vs. a lateral pull-down machine) to see which works better for shoulder impingement syndrome, a common cause of shoulder pain. It focuses on people aged 40–65 who are overweight and have had pain for at least 3 months.
This study tests whether combining mental movement training with targeted exercises can reduce shoulder pain caused by impingement syndrome. It aims to improve your shoulder function without surgery.
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.
This study looks at how the shoulder blade moves in people with shoulder impingement syndrome. It may help understand the condition better and improve treatment.
