Comparing two ways to help shoulder pain with movement feedback
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares using ultrasound images (dynamic visual feedback) versus manual guidance to help activate shoulder blade muscles and improve space in the shoulder joint for people with shoulder pain when lifting their arm.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 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 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 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.
This study tests whether giving you immediate feedback during shoulder exercises helps reduce rotator cuff-related shoulder pain. The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons in your shoulder; this trial focuses on people with impingement, bursitis, tendon inflammation, or small tears.
This study tests two non-surgical treatments for shoulder pain caused by shoulder impingement. Both treatments use hand-held tools to ease pain and improve movement.
