ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying shoulder pain, specifically a condition called subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS), which is a common cause of shoulder discomfort. The research aims to understand how MRI findings relate to the level of pain and function in people with SIS. MRI is a special imaging technique that helps doctors see both the soft tissues and bones around the shoulder, making it a useful tool for diagnosing issues like rotator cuff tears. By examining the connection between MRI results and patients’ symptoms, the study hopes to improve understanding and treatment of this condition.

To participate in the trial, individuals need to be between the ages of 18 and 65 and have experienced shoulder pain for at least six weeks. However, those with certain conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis, neurological diseases, or specific shoulder injuries, will not be eligible to join. Participants will undergo MRI scans and may share their experiences with shoulder pain and function. The trial is not yet recruiting participants, but it represents an important step towards improving care for those affected by shoulder pain.
