Blood flow restriction exercise for shoulder pain relief
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether adding blood flow restriction to exercise can reduce pain after rotator cuff repair surgery. It may help you recover with less discomfort.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 40 and 65 years old.
- You have a degenerative rotator cuff tear seen on an MRI.
- You are scheduled for arthroscopic rotator cuff repair surgery.
- You can read and understand Spanish.

This study compares two types of exercise therapy after rotator cuff repair surgery. One group will do standard exercises, while the other will use a special blood flow restriction band during exercise. The goal is to see which approach leads to better recovery.
This study tests a 4-week program of gentle shoulder exercises using a special cuff that mildly restricts blood flow to the muscles. The goal is to see if this approach can reduce pain and improve function in people with long-lasting rotator cuff-related shoulder pain.
This study tests whether using a blood pressure cuff during gentle shoulder exercises can help reduce pain and improve movement. It is for people with ongoing shoulder pain related to the rotator cuff (the muscles and tendons that help lift and rotate your arm).
This study tests a new type of physical therapy that uses a blood pressure cuff to gently limit blood flow to the arm during exercise. It may help people with shoulder pain from subacromial impingement (a common cause of shoulder pain) regain function.
This study tests whether a special type of high-intensity exercise (using blood flow restriction) can safely strengthen the muscles around the shoulder. It is for healthy adults who have not been doing arm workouts.
This study compares two exercise approaches—one using special wraps to limit blood flow during exercise, and standard Pilates—to treat shoulder impingement syndrome (a common condition causing shoulder pain with overhead movements). The goal is to see which method works better at reducing pain and improving shoulder function.
