ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at a condition called subacromial impingement syndrome, which causes shoulder pain and can affect daily activities. Researchers want to see how certain physical tests relate to ultrasound findings in patients diagnosed with this condition. They will assess the participants’ shoulder function using questionnaires and perform ultrasounds to measure specific shoulder structures. This will help understand how well these tests can predict shoulder issues.

To participate in this study, individuals need to be between 18 and 70 years old and must have been clinically diagnosed with subacromial impingement syndrome through specific tests. However, people with certain shoulder problems, prior surgeries, or other health conditions like arthritis or diabetes won't be eligible. Participants can expect to go through some assessments and imaging, and their data will be used to improve the understanding of shoulder conditions and pain management.
