This trial tests whether a special tape applied to the shoulder can reduce pain and improve function in people who play sports like baseball or tennis. If you have shoulder pain from throwing or other overhead movements, this treatment might help you get back to your sport.
This study tests whether adding mental training (watching movements and imagining yourself moving) to regular physical therapy exercises improves shoulder pain and function. If you have a muscle-related shoulder problem and meet the basic health requirements, this program might help you recover more effectively.
This study compares how two different arm exercises affect the shoulder tendon (supraspinatus) in people with and without shoulder pain. It may help find better ways to exercise without causing injury.
This trial tests if isometric muscle training (holding still muscle contractions) can reduce shoulder pain and improve function and bowling performance in male bowlers. It may help if your pain affects your game and causes emotional distress.
This trial tests whether kettlebell training can help people with long-lasting shoulder pain caused by rotator cuff tendon problems or small tears. You would do kettlebell exercises and see if your pain and strength improve.
