ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at two different treatment methods for people with Subacromial Impingement Syndrome, which causes pain in the shoulder area. The study will compare a technique called thoracic manipulation, where quick movements are used on the upper back, with spinal mobilization combined with arm movements. The goal is to see which method helps reduce shoulder pain more effectively.

To participate in this trial, you should be between 18 and 40 years old and have shoulder pain that has been confirmed by specific tests. However, if you have certain medical conditions, like cancer or arthritis, or if your pain is due to other serious issues, you won't be eligible to join. If you decide to take part, you will receive one of the treatment methods and can expect to attend several sessions. This trial is currently recruiting participants, and it offers a chance to contribute to understanding better ways to manage shoulder pain.
