ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new exercise program designed to help people with shoulder impingement syndrome, a common condition that causes pain and discomfort in the shoulder area. The goal is to understand the best way to progress through different exercises to help improve strength and reduce pain for those affected. The trial is not yet recruiting participants, but it aims to include adults over the age of 18 who have been diagnosed with shoulder impingement syndrome and show specific signs of the condition.

To participate in the trial, individuals must meet certain criteria, such as having a previous diagnosis of shoulder impingement syndrome and experiencing specific painful symptoms. However, those with other shoulder or neck issues, certain medical conditions, or who are currently taking specific medications may not be eligible. Participants can expect to follow a structured exercise program, which may help improve their shoulder function and reduce pain. This study could pave the way for better treatments for this common condition.
