This study tests two treatments for shoulder pain called subacromial pain syndrome: kinesiology taping (a special stretchy tape) and dry needling (thin needles placed in tight muscles). It aims to see which helps reduce pain and improve movement.
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 trial tests new treatments and imaging methods for people with shoulder pain lasting at least four weeks. It aims to find better ways to diagnose and treat shoulder disorders, helping you return to work and daily activities.
This trial tests whether adding “mind-based” movement practice (action observation and motor imagery) to regular physiotherapy exercises can reduce chronic, muscle-related shoulder pain. It’s designed for people who are referred in primary care and haven’t had similar shoulder physiotherapy in the last 6 months.
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 trial tests whether kettlebell training can help people with long-lasting shoulder pain caused by rotator cuff tendon problems or small tears. You would do kettlebell exercises and see if your pain and strength improve.
