Remote therapy for shoulder pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares a home-based exercise program using a smartphone or computer with standard in-person physical therapy for people with shoulder pain from subacromial impingement. The goal is to see if remote rehab works just as well and can be a convenient option.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You have a shoulder condition called subacromial impingement syndrome, which causes pain with overhead activities and can be diagnosed by a doctor.
- You have access to the internet and a device like a smartphone, tablet, or computer to participate in the remote program.
- You have not had surgery or a corticosteroid injection in the affected shoulder in the last 3 months.
- You do not have a torn rotator cuff (a group of muscles in the shoulder).
- You are not currently in another physical therapy or exercise program for your shoulder.
- You are not pregnant and do not have any condition that would prevent you from following instructions at home.

This study compares virtual reality exercises with a hands-on therapy technique (Mulligan mobilization) to improve shoulder posture and function in people with subacromial impingement syndrome. It aims to find which approach may relieve pain and help you move better.
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 trial tests a digital rehabilitation program that uses artificial intelligence to guide your shoulder exercises. It may help reduce pain and improve movement for people with subacromial impingement syndrome, a common cause of shoulder pain.
This trial compares a digital physiotherapy program with usual physiotherapy for people who have shoulder pain that is not due to a recent injury. It aims to see if an app-based program can be as effective as in-person sessions.
This study tests whether a smartphone app can guide your shoulder exercises at home after rotator cuff repair surgery. You would use the app instead of or in addition to regular in-person physical therapy, to see if it helps improve your recovery.
This study tests a home-based physical therapy program using a phone or web platform (VirtuaCare) to help people stick with their post-surgery shoulder exercises. It may help improve how consistently you complete standard rehab after certain shoulder operations.
