Shoulder therapy for tennis players with shoulder pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a combination of muscle release and shoulder exercises can improve shoulder movement and reduce pain in tennis players with shoulder impingement—a condition where shoulder structures get pinched during arm raises. The goal is to help you return to play with less discomfort.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests if kinesiology taping (a special type of tape applied to the shoulder) plus exercises that strengthen the shoulder blades works better than just exercises alone for people with shoulder impingement syndrome (a common cause of shoulder pain). You may qualify if you have had pain on the front or side of your shoulder for at least 3 months and have certain positive tests from a physical therapist.
This trial compares two ways to treat subacromial impingement syndrome (a common shoulder condition causing pain with overhead movements): supervised rehabilitation sessions versus exercises you do at home. The goal is to see which approach works better for reducing pain and improving shoulder function.
This study compares virtual reality exercises with a hands-on therapy technique (Mulligan mobilization) to improve shoulder posture and function in people with subacromial impingement syndrome. It aims to find which approach may relieve pain and help you move better.
This study tests a hands-on therapy called IASTM (instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization) to see if it can reduce pain, improve movement, and help your shoulder feel more stable. It is for people with subacromial impingement syndrome, a common cause of shoulder pain.
This trial compares two hands-on therapy techniques for people with shoulder impingement (pain when lifting the arm). It tests if one method works better for reducing pain and improving movement.
This study looks at whether specific neck and shoulder exercises can help reduce shoulder impingement pain (pain when lifting your arm). It may help you feel better and move more easily without surgery.
