Shoulder impingement, pain thoughts, and treatment sticking
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at how pain, thinking patterns, and sticking to treatment relate in people with shoulder impingement. It aims to help improve physical therapy programs by understanding these factors.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study uses MRI scans to examine the shoulder in people with subacromial impingement syndrome. It aims to better understand the condition and how it appears on imaging.
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 study looks at how your body posture might be related to shoulder pain. It is for people with shoulder impingement (pain when lifting the arm) who are not athletes. The goal is to understand if posture plays a role in shoulder problems.
This study compares two ways to treat subacromial impingement syndrome (a common cause of shoulder pain with overhead activities): doing exercises through a video platform at home versus attending in-person physical therapy sessions. The goal is to see which approach works better and is more practical for patients.
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 looks at whether arthroscopic subacromial decompression surgery helps people whose “impingement” shoulder pain hasn’t improved after supervised exercises and an injection. It may help if your symptoms match their specific non-responder pattern and you can complete rehab visits.
