Mulligan's Technique for Rotator Cuff Shoulder Pain
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests whether a hands-on treatment method called Mulligan's mobilization can reduce shoulder pain and improve function in people with rotator cuff problems. Rotator cuff issues include impingement (pinching), tendon inflammation, or small tears that cause pain but don't require surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Diagnosed with rotator cuff impingement, tendon inflammation, or partial tear (confirmed by imaging or clinical exam)
- Between 18 and 65 years old
- Shoulder pain lasting at least 3 months
- Pain level of at least 3 out of 10 during rest or activity
- Pass at least 2 of 3 specific shoulder movement tests (Neer, Hawkins-Kennedy, or Empty Can)
- No previous shoulder or upper back surgery

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 studies a specific therapeutic exercise program for rotator cuff tendon pain and subacromial pain (a pinching-type shoulder problem). It also looks at what changes in your symptoms and body function after the exercises.
This trial tests a gentle hands-on therapy technique called 'mobilization with movement' to help people with partial rotator cuff tears or tendinopathy. It aims to improve shoulder pain and movement.
This trial tests a hands-on therapy called 'mobilization with movement' for people with shoulder tendon problems. It aims to reduce pain and improve shoulder function without surgery or injections.
This trial tests if adding a specific type of shoulder movement therapy and upper body core exercises can reduce pain and improve function in people with rotator cuff-related shoulder pain. It may help you if you have had shoulder pain for more than 6 weeks and it started after an injury.
This trial tests whether learning movement techniques combined with sensorimotor training (exercises that improve how your brain controls your shoulder) can help reduce chronic shoulder pain caused by rotator cuff problems. It may be a good fit if you have had shoulder pain for over three months with changes seen on MRI or ultrasound.
