PEMF Therapy for Chronic Shoulder Pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy—a treatment using magnetic pulses—can reduce chronic shoulder pain and improve how well your shoulder works. You would receive this therapy at a rehabilitation center over several weeks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 70 years old
- You have had shoulder pain for more than 3 months that hasn't improved with other treatments like physical therapy
- You have been diagnosed with shoulder tendinopathy or subacromial pain syndrome (inflammation or strain of shoulder tendons)
- You can attend all scheduled therapy sessions and follow-up visits
- You don't have metal implants or electronic devices like a pacemaker in your shoulder area
- You don't have a severe rotator cuff tear that needs surgery, recent shoulder injury, or active inflammatory diseases

This trial studies whether PEMF, a type of non-surgical device that uses pulsed electromagnetic fields, can reduce pain after shoulder or knee surgery. If you join, you’ll also be expected to do post-surgery physical therapy exercises and report your pain and function.
This study tests if pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy can help people with mid-portion Achilles tendinopathy (pain and swelling in the middle of the Achilles tendon). It aims to see if this non-invasive treatment can reduce pain and improve function.
This trial tests two types of high-intensity pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (one using two modes, another using one mode) to see if they can reduce pain and improve function in older adults with knee osteoarthritis. You would attend 9 treatment sessions and do exercises at home.
This study tests whether pulsed electromagnetic field therapy can reduce pain and inflammation in people with knee osteoarthritis. It may help if you have mild to moderate knee pain and signs of inflammation seen on an MRI.
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 study tests a prediction model to see who responds best to a treatment called PENS, which uses small needles to stimulate nerves and reduce shoulder pain. The goal is to match the right people with this treatment to improve outcomes.
