Shoulder exercises for subacromial pain syndrome
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding thoracic mobility exercises to standard scapular stabilization exercises helps reduce shoulder pain and improve function in people with subacromial pain syndrome, a common cause of shoulder pain. If you have had shoulder pain for more than six weeks, this trial might help you find relief.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at whether gender affects shoulder pain from subacromial impingement. It may help tailor future treatments.
This study tests a program that combines pain management education with shoulder exercises to help people with long-lasting shoulder pain. The goal is to see if this approach reduces pain and improves daily function.
This trial studies a specific therapeutic exercise program for rotator cuff tendon pain and subacromial pain (a pinching-type shoulder problem). It also looks at what changes in your symptoms and body function after the exercises.
This study tests whether a special exercise program that trains you to focus your attention in different ways can reduce shoulder pain and improve function. You'll do exercises designed to help your rotator cuff (the muscles that stabilize your shoulder) while learning to shift your mental focus during movement.
This trial tests if special exercises for the shoulder blade (scapula) can reduce shoulder pain better than standard exercises. It is for people with shoulder pain that has lasted at least one month and who have a shoulder blade that moves incorrectly.
This trial compares two ways to treat subacromial impingement syndrome (a common shoulder condition causing pain with overhead movements): supervised rehabilitation sessions versus exercises you do at home. The goal is to see which approach works better for reducing pain and improving shoulder function.
