Learning exercises for long-term shoulder or knee pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a brain exercise called laterality training, which may help retrain your brain to reduce chronic shoulder or knee pain. You will also do pain drawings to help track your pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You need to be able to read and understand English.

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.
This study compares two non-surgical treatments for long-lasting shoulder pain: a new approach called cognitive functional therapy that combines movement with education, versus standard exercises. If you have chronic shoulder pain and are looking for a drug-free option, this trial may help you find which treatment works better.
This study tests whether adding mental training (watching movements and imagining yourself moving) to regular physical therapy exercises improves shoulder pain and function. If you have a muscle-related shoulder problem and meet the basic health requirements, this program might help you recover more effectively.
This trial tests if learning about chronic pain can help people with knee osteoarthritis feel better. You'll join a program that teaches you about pain and how to manage it.
This study tests a new exercise system that uses machine learning (a type of computer program) to guide lower limb exercises for people with knee pain. The goal is to see if it helps reduce pain and improve knee function, and it may be a good option if you have knee arthritis.
This study tests two types of therapy for ongoing low back pain: learning about how pain works (pain education) and training your sense of touch (sensory discrimination). The goal is to help your brain process pain better and reduce discomfort.
