Steroid injection for shoulder impingement and scapular movement
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study is for people with shoulder impingement syndrome (pain when lifting the arm) who want to see if a steroid injection can help. It focuses on how the shoulder blade moves and how that relates to pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 20 years old or older.
- You have been diagnosed with shoulder impingement syndrome in one shoulder (based on symptoms and an MRI).
- You have not had surgery or a broken bone in the affected shoulder.
- You do not have a nerve or brain condition that affects the same arm.
- You are willing to receive a steroid injection in the shoulder and come back for follow-up visits.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two different shoulder-strengthening exercises for people with shoulder impingement syndrome (a condition where shoulder structures get pinched) combined with scapular dyskinesia (abnormal shoulder blade movement). The goal is to see which exercise works better to reduce pain and improve shoulder function.
This research study examines how shoulder blade movement patterns relate to shoulder muscle strength and space in the shoulder joint. You may be a good fit if you have shoulder blade positioning issues but no pain, and researchers want to understand these connections before problems develop.
This trial tests if adding a steroid (dexamethasone) to a nerve block shot can reduce the severe pain that often returns after shoulder surgery. You will receive either a single injection or a continuous flow of pain medicine through a small tube.
This study tests whether a standard steroid injection for shoulder pain works differently depending on your specific pain type. It aims to help doctors choose the best treatment for each person.
This trial looks at whether arthroscopic subacromial decompression surgery helps people whose “impingement” shoulder pain hasn’t improved after supervised exercises and an injection. It may help if your symptoms match their specific non-responder pattern and you can complete rehab visits.
This study looks at how pain, thinking patterns, and sticking to treatment relate in people with shoulder impingement. It aims to help improve physical therapy programs by understanding these factors.
