Early mental exercise after shoulder tendon repair
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests if a gentle, early mental exercise program helps improve shoulder recovery after a specific type of rotator cuff repair. It might be a good fit if you had surgery on two front shoulder tendons and are otherwise healthy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 30 and 65 years old.

- You have not had any previous surgery on that same shoulder.
- You do not have other torn tendons in the same shoulder beyond the two repaired ones.

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 tests whether mental practice of shoulder movements can reduce pain and improve function in people with a partial rotator cuff tear. If you have shoulder pain that hasn't gone away after 4 weeks, this could be an option.
This study tests whether combining mental movement training with targeted exercises can reduce shoulder pain caused by impingement syndrome. It aims to improve your shoulder function without surgery.
This trial looks at whether mirror-based arm exercises (“cross-education”) help recovery after arthroscopic rotator cuff surgery. It may help improve shoulder movement and function by training the other arm to support rehab.
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 study tests an exercise program that combines shoulder movements with mental tasks (like counting or naming things) to improve pain and function. It is for people with ongoing shoulder pain from common rotator cuff problems.
