Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests whether shock wave therapy can reduce neck pain caused by muscle knots in teenage athletes. It aims to help you return to sports with less pain and discomfort.

This trial tests if focused shockwave therapy can help people with long-term neck and shoulder pain caused by tight muscles in the upper back. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe and effective for easing pain and improving daily activities.
This trial compares three different treatments to find which works best for long-term back pain caused by myofascial pain syndrome, a condition where tight muscle knots cause pain. It is for people who have not found relief with standard treatments.
This study compares two treatments for neck pain caused by trigger points (knots) in the upper shoulder muscle: a hands-on pressure technique called activator trigger point therapy, and shock wave therapy (sound waves). It aims to find which works better for reducing pain and improving shoulder function.
This study tests whether focused shock waves (sound waves) can improve muscle and nerve function in people with neck pain caused by a pinched nerve in the lower neck. The treatment is painless and non-invasive, and aims to reduce pain and improve arm function.
This trial tests whether magnesium sulfate iontophoresis (a method that uses a mild electrical current to deliver medicine through the skin) or extracorporeal shockwave therapy (sound waves applied to the neck) works better for long-term neck pain caused by trigger points in the upper shoulder muscle.
This trial compares different recovery techniques (like shockwave, heat therapy, and cupping) to see which works best for reducing muscle pain, improving strength, and helping muscles recover after exercise. If you're a competitive athlete, this could help you find a faster and more effective way to recover.
