New treatments and imaging for prolonged shoulder pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at new ways to treat and image long-lasting shoulder pain that hasn't gone away on its own. It may help you find better relief through a combination of imaging and guided rehabilitation.

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 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 study tests two different needle-based treatments (dry needling and percutaneous electrolysis) to see which one works better for relieving long-term shoulder pain caused by tight muscle knots (trigger points). If you join, you'll receive one of these treatments, which may help reduce your pain and improve shoulder function.
This study compares two treatments: taping and dry needling, to see which works better for shoulder pain caused by subacromial pain syndrome. If you join, you'll get one of these treatments and be monitored to see how it helps your pain.
This trial compares a personalised education programme with standard physiotherapy for people with recent shoulder pain that is not caused by injury. It aims to see which approach better reduces pain and improves movement.
This study tests if a gentle, early mental exercise program helps improve shoulder recovery after a specific type of rotator cuff repair. It might be a good fit if you had surgery on two front shoulder tendons and are otherwise healthy.
