Brain training for shoulder or knee pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether a simple brain-training task that helps you tell left from right can reduce long-term shoulder or knee pain. The training is done on a computer and may teach your brain to move better and hurt less.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests a type of brain stimulation called intermittent theta burst stimulation to see if it can reduce pain and improve thinking in older adults with long-term back or knee pain. The treatment involves a non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain.
This trial tests whether virtual reality exercises can help people with long-term shoulder pain. It aims to see if this approach is practical and acceptable for patients who are not having surgery.
This trial tests whether brain-computer interface training can help you regain muscle control more effectively after knee or hip surgery. It focuses on four common procedures and uses neurofeedback to optimize muscle activation during recovery.
This study tests whether mobile “neurofeedback” training can reduce low back pain and improve how much it affects your daily life. You would likely use sensors that measure brain and body signals to guide the training.
This trial tests whether learning movement techniques combined with sensorimotor training (exercises that improve how your brain controls your shoulder) can help reduce chronic shoulder pain caused by rotator cuff problems. It may be a good fit if you have had shoulder pain for over three months with changes seen on MRI or ultrasound.
This study tests a special, computer-guided lower-limb exercise program to reduce knee pain and improve how well you can move. It is designed for people with frequent knee pain and x-ray confirmed knee osteoarthritis.
