Comparing two hand-held treatments for shoulder pain

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: taping and dry needling, to see which works better for shoulder pain caused by subacromial pain syndrome. If you join, you'll get one of these treatments and be monitored to see how it helps your pain.

This study uses MRI scans to look at the shoulder in people with subacromial impingement syndrome, a common cause of shoulder pain when tendons rub against the shoulder bone. By joining, you help doctors understand this condition better, which may improve diagnosis and treatment in the future.

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 study tests two hands-on treatments for shoulder pain from impingement. It aims to see if combining them helps reduce pain and improve movement better than usual care.

This trial tests whether a combination of muscle release and shoulder exercises can improve shoulder movement and reduce pain in tennis players with shoulder impingement—a condition where shoulder structures get pinched during arm raises. The goal is to help you return to play with less discomfort.
