Comparing two hand-held treatments for shoulder pain
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests two non-surgical treatments for shoulder pain caused by shoulder impingement. Both treatments use hand-held tools to ease pain and improve movement.

This study compares two non-surgical treatments—manual therapy (hands-on techniques) and radial shock wave therapy (sound wave pulses)—to see which works better for long-lasting shoulder pain. It may be a good fit if your pain is from a common cause called impingement syndrome.
This study compares two treatments—gentle movement exercises and ozone injections—for shoulder pain. It aims to see which option helps people with shoulder impingement feel better faster.
This study looks at how pain, thinking patterns, and sticking to treatment relate in people with shoulder impingement. It aims to help improve physical therapy programs by understanding these factors.
This study tests a hands-on therapy called IASTM (instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization) to see if it can reduce pain, improve movement, and help your shoulder feel more stable. It is for people with subacromial impingement syndrome, a common cause of shoulder pain.
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.
