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 if a specially designed exercise program can reduce shoulder pain related to the rotator cuff. It may help if you've had shoulder pain for more than three months.
This trial studies a specific therapeutic exercise program for rotator cuff tendon pain and subacromial pain (a pinching-type shoulder problem). It also looks at what changes in your symptoms and body function after the exercises.
This study tests whether using a blood pressure cuff during gentle shoulder exercises can help reduce pain and improve movement. It is for people with ongoing shoulder pain related to the rotator cuff (the muscles and tendons that help lift and rotate your arm).
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.
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.
