Do nerve issues occur in shoulder pain syndrome?
Part of Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at whether nerve-related symptoms are common in people with subacromial pain syndrome (a type of shoulder pain). You may qualify if you have shoulder pain that has lasted at least 3 months, with moderate to severe pain in the past week, and if you haven't had shoulder surgery or certain other shoulder problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a clinical diagnosis of subacromial pain syndrome (SAPS), which is shoulder pain from the tendons or bursa.
- You must be at least 19 years old.
- Your shoulder pain must have lasted for 3 months or more.
- In the past week, your shoulder pain must be at least 3 out of 10 on a simple pain scale.
- You must not have had shoulder surgery, a full rotator cuff tear, or other shoulder problems found on imaging.

This study looks at why some people with long-lasting shoulder pain (at least 3 months) feel more pain than expected. It tests if a type of pain called nociplastic pain, which involves the nervous system, is present. The goal is to better understand and potentially treat this kind of pain.
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 study tests a prediction model to see who responds best to a treatment called PENS, which uses small needles to stimulate nerves and reduce shoulder pain. The goal is to match the right people with this treatment to improve outcomes.
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.
This study looks at whether gender affects shoulder pain from subacromial impingement. It may help tailor future treatments.
This study looks at whether a person's type of shoulder pain (its 'phenotype') can predict how well they respond to a corticosteroid injection. If you qualify, the research may help doctors tailor future treatments for shoulder pain.
