This study tests whether a special athletic tape (Kinesio tape) applied to your lower back and shoulder area can improve flexibility and reduce shoulder pain in people with chronic shoulder impingement syndrome—a condition where shoulder structures get pinched, causing long-term pain and stiffness.
This study tests whether a special rigid tape applied to the shoulder can reduce pain and improve function in people with acromioclavicular (AC) joint degeneration. The AC joint is where your collarbone meets the top of your shoulder blade, and this condition can cause pain and stiffness.
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 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.
