Cuff-assisted exercise for shoulder pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether using a blood pressure cuff during gentle shoulder exercises can help reduce pain and improve movement. It is for people with ongoing shoulder pain related to the rotator cuff (the muscles and tendons that help lift and rotate your arm).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether a 4-week program of light exercise with a special band that limits blood flow can help reduce shoulder pain and improve movement in people with rotator cuff problems. You'll do simple exercises with a pressure cuff on your upper arm, which may make the muscles stronger without heavy weights.
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 a specially designed exercise program can reduce shoulder pain related to the rotator cuff. It may help if you've had shoulder pain for more than three months.
This study tests an exercise program that combines shoulder movements with mental tasks (like counting or naming things) to improve pain and function. It is for people with ongoing shoulder pain from common rotator cuff problems.
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 looks at how people with rotator cuff shoulder pain are cared for, to improve care for this common problem. It is for people who recently saw a doctor for this pain.
