Shock Wave Therapy Plus Rehab for Shoulder Blade Problems
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two treatment approaches for scapular dyskinesis (abnormal shoulder blade movement): one group receives shock wave therapy along with standard exercises, while the other group does exercises alone. Researchers want to see if adding shock wave therapy helps improve shoulder blade function and reduces pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares two types of shoulder exercises to see which works better for people with shoulder blade movement problems, often caused by lots of desk work. If you join, you'll do a guided exercise program that may reduce pain and improve your shoulder function.
This study tests whether focused shock waves (sound waves) can improve muscle and nerve function in people with neck pain caused by a pinched nerve in the lower neck. The treatment is painless and non-invasive, and aims to reduce pain and improve arm function.
This study compares adding shockwave therapy to standard rehabilitation for treating painful, itchy burn scars that are at least 6 months old. It aims to see if the combination is more cost-effective than rehab alone.
This trial tests whether shock wave therapy can help relieve pain and improve movement in people with frozen shoulder. It is a non-drug treatment that uses sound waves to stimulate healing.
This study tests whether adding shock wave therapy to standard treatments (physical therapy and a corticosteroid injection) helps people with frozen shoulder recover faster. If you have significant shoulder stiffness and pain, you might benefit from this extra treatment.
