Shoulder Exercises for Impingement Syndrome
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study compares two different shoulder-strengthening exercises for people with shoulder impingement syndrome (a condition where shoulder structures get pinched) combined with scapular dyskinesia (abnormal shoulder blade movement). The goal is to see which exercise works better to reduce pain and improve shoulder function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether lower body exercises (like walking or leg presses) can help reduce shoulder pain from impingement. It's for people with shoulder pain that has lasted more than 6 weeks and who have not had surgery or a major injury.
This study looks at how certain muscles work in people with shoulder impingement (a common cause of shoulder pain). It uses a test called electromyography to measure muscle activity, which can help guide better physical therapy.
This study is for people with shoulder impingement syndrome (pain when lifting the arm) who want to see if a steroid injection can help. It focuses on how the shoulder blade moves and how that relates to pain.
This trial tests if special exercises for the shoulder blade (scapula) can reduce shoulder pain better than standard exercises. It is for people with shoulder pain that has lasted at least one month and who have a shoulder blade that moves incorrectly.
This study tests whether specific neck-strengthening exercises can reduce shoulder pain caused by subacromial impingement syndrome (a condition where shoulder tissues get pinched). You'll do these exercises over several weeks to see if they help your pain and movement.
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.
