Neck Exercises for Shoulder Impingement Pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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.
This study compares two exercise approaches—one using special wraps to limit blood flow during exercise, and standard Pilates—to treat shoulder impingement syndrome (a common condition causing shoulder pain with overhead movements). The goal is to see which method works better at reducing pain and improving shoulder function.
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 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 trial tests if kinesiology taping (a special type of tape applied to the shoulder) plus exercises that strengthen the shoulder blades works better than just exercises alone for people with shoulder impingement syndrome (a common cause of shoulder pain). You may qualify if you have had pain on the front or side of your shoulder for at least 3 months and have certain positive tests from a physical therapist.
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.
