This study looks at why some people with long-lasting shoulder pain (at least 3 months) feel more pain than expected. It tests if a type of pain called nociplastic pain, which involves the nervous system, is present. The goal is to better understand and potentially treat this kind of pain.
This study tests whether adding thoracic mobility exercises to standard scapular stabilization exercises helps reduce shoulder pain and improve function in people with subacromial pain syndrome, a common cause of shoulder pain. If you have had shoulder pain for more than six weeks, this trial might help you find relief.
This study tests whether patients with different types of shoulder pain respond better to learning about their condition through education alone. You will receive information and advice to help you manage your pain without injections or surgery.
This study looks at whether nerve-related symptoms are common in people with subacromial pain syndrome (a type of shoulder pain). You may qualify if you have shoulder pain that has lasted at least 3 months, with moderate to severe pain in the past week, and if you haven't had shoulder surgery or certain other shoulder problems.
This trial studies a specific therapeutic exercise program for rotator cuff tendon pain and subacromial pain (a pinching-type shoulder problem). It also looks at what changes in your symptoms and body function after the exercises.
This study tests whether a special exercise program that trains you to focus your attention in different ways can reduce shoulder pain and improve function. You'll do exercises designed to help your rotator cuff (the muscles that stabilize your shoulder) while learning to shift your mental focus during movement.
