Mobilization with movement for rotator cuff injuries
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a gentle hands-on therapy technique called 'mobilization with movement' to help people with partial rotator cuff tears or tendinopathy. It aims to improve shoulder pain and movement.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two physical therapy rehab plans to see which helps people recover better after a severe, irreparable rotator cuff tear. It may help you find the pace of rehab that works best for your shoulder and daily function.
This trial tests whether mental practice of shoulder movements can reduce pain and improve function in people with a partial rotator cuff tear. If you have shoulder pain that hasn't gone away after 4 weeks, this could be an option.
This study tests whether physical therapy helps people with a partial tear in the rotator cuff (a group of muscles that help move your shoulder). It also looks at how pain sensitivity might affect your response to treatment, which could help personalize care.
This study tests whether an accelerated (faster) rehabilitation plan after surgery works as well as standard care for people with a large, multi-tendon rotator cuff tear. It may help you recover function sooner, depending on how your tear and health fit the study rules.
This study tests a gentle, hands-on treatment called Mulligan mobilization for people with long-term low back pain that isn't caused by a specific injury. The goal is to see if this technique helps reduce pain and improve movement.
This study tests a hands-on therapy technique called Mulligan's mobilization to see if it helps reduce shoulder pain and improve movement in people with rotator cuff problems like impingement or partial tears. It may be an option for those who have had shoulder pain for at least 3 months.
