Virtual reality exercises for persistent shoulder pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study compares different ways of using virtual reality (VR) exercises to help people with long-lasting shoulder pain from rotator cuff problems. It aims to find the best VR approach to reduce pain and improve shoulder function over a 4-week period.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had shoulder pain for at least 6 months, and the pain is linked to the rotator cuff (the muscles and tendons that help lift your arm).
- Your shoulder pain limits daily activities, and you score at least 15 out of 100 on a standard shoulder function questionnaire.
- You can commit to a 4-week program (attending sessions and doing exercises).
- You can read and understand French.
- You have not had a steroid or other injection in the shoulder in the past 3 months.
- You do not have pain in both shoulders, no other joint pain in the same arm, and no history of shoulder surgery, dislocation, or fracture.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 whether virtual reality exercises can help reduce persistent shoulder pain. If you've had shoulder pain for a while, this might offer a new way to manage it.
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 trial tests whether virtual reality (a computer-made, 3D environment) can help people with shoulder problems recover better. You would use a VR headset for exercises, and the study will see if it improves your shoulder movement or pain.
This study tests whether virtual reality rehabilitation helps people recover after shoulder surgery. It focuses on three shoulder conditions: instability, rotator cuff repair, and frozen shoulder.
