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.

If you have shoulder pain when swinging or serving, this study may help understand if a specific exercise program works better than usual care.
This trial compares two types of physical therapy exercises for shoulder tendon pain (rotator cuff tendinopathy) under the shoulder bone. It may help you find which exercise approach reduces pain and improves function.
This study looks at how certain shoulder tests and ultrasound images relate to each other in people with shoulder impingement (a common cause of shoulder pain). It aims to improve diagnosis and understand which tests work best.
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.
