This study tests whether virtual reality exercises can help reduce persistent shoulder pain. If you've had shoulder pain for a while, this might offer a new way to manage it.
This study tests whether adding brain-training exercises to standard physical therapy helps people recover better after surgery for shoulder instability. It may improve how well the shoulder works and how quickly you return to normal activities.
This study tests whether using a communication app to help you do home rehabilitation after arthroscopic shoulder surgery improves recovery and function. If you have a small to medium full-thickness rotator cuff tear (or certain subscapularis tears) and can commit to follow-up for two years, you may be eligible.
This trial tests whether virtual reality (a computer-made, 3D environment) can help people with shoulder problems recover better. You would use a VR headset for exercises, and the study will see if it improves your shoulder movement or pain.
This study asks people using virtual reality for arm or shoulder rehabilitation to answer questions about how they feel about it. Your responses help improve VR rehab for conditions like shoulder pain or stroke recovery.
This study tests whether using virtual reality with exercise helps people with long-term shoulder pain (lasting over 3 months) who are getting non-surgical care. It aims to see if this approach is possible and acceptable.
