Aerobic exercise for shoulder pain in people with type 2 diabetes
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Hormones & metabolism, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether a program of aerobic exercise can reduce shoulder pain and improve function in people with type 2 diabetes who also have a common shoulder problem called supraspinatus tendinopathy. If you have had shoulder pain for at least 3 months and have diabetes, this trial might help you find a non-surgical way to feel better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are between 30 and 70 years old.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares two non-invasive treatments — high-intensity laser therapy and extracorporeal shock wave therapy — for people with long-term pain in the supraspinatus tendon of the shoulder. The goal is to see which treatment better reduces tendon thickness and improves shoulder function.
This study tests two types of physical therapy—isometric strengthening exercises and TENS (a pain-relieving electrical stimulation)—to see which is better for reducing pain and improving movement in people with diabetes who have frozen shoulder. You may receive one of these treatments for several weeks.
This trial compares different physical therapy combinations for people with shoulder tendonitis (supraspinatus tendinitis). It uses ultrasound and motion tests to see how well the treatments work.
This study compares how two different arm exercises affect the shoulder tendon (supraspinatus) in people with and without shoulder pain. It may help find better ways to exercise without causing injury.
This study tests if specific exercises can help people with frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) move their shoulder better and feel less pain. It is for those who have not had shoulder surgery or other conditions like diabetes.
This trial tests a hands-on therapy called 'mobilization with movement' for people with shoulder tendon problems. It aims to reduce pain and improve shoulder function without surgery or injections.
