Shoulder tendonitis treatments: ultrasound and movement study
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares different physical therapy combinations for people with shoulder tendonitis (supraspinatus tendinitis). It uses ultrasound and motion tests to see how well the treatments work.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have shoulder pain on only one side.
- You have had shoulder pain for 3 months or less.
- You have at least two positive shoulder impingement tests (like Neer or Hawkins-Kennedy).
- You have not had physical therapy for your shoulder in the last 3 months.
- You have not taken NSAID pain relievers (like ibuprofen) for the last 15 days.
- You have not had shoulder surgery, injections, or nerve blocks in the last 6 months.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares two non-surgical treatments for supraspinatus tendinitis (a common shoulder tendon injury): high-intensity laser therapy and extracorporeal shock wave therapy. The study aims to see which approach better reduces pain and improves shoulder function in people with chronic shoulder pain.
This trial tests if applying ozone gel with ultrasound (phonophoresis) can reduce pain and improve shoulder function in people with chronic supraspinatus tendinitis (a common rotator cuff issue). It may offer a drug-free option for managing persistent tendon pain.
This trial tests a non-invasive treatment called TECAR therapy for people with chronic shoulder tendonitis (supraspinatus tendinitis). It uses energy to help reduce pain and improve healing. You may qualify if you have had shoulder pain for at least a month and are not able to have surgery.
This trial compares two non-invasive treatments — high-intensity laser therapy and extracorporeal shock wave therapy — for people with long-term pain in the supraspinatus tendon of the shoulder. The goal is to see which treatment better reduces tendon thickness and improves shoulder function.
This study tests two types of a needle-based treatment (percutaneous electrolysis) for shoulder tendon pain. It aims to see if a single-filament or multi-filament approach works better for people with chronic supraspinatus tendon issues.
This trial tests if a treatment using tiny needles with mild electric current can reduce pain and improve function in people with long-term shoulder tendon problems (supraspinatus tendinopathy). It compares this treatment to standard exercises alone.
