ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is focused on translating and validating a tool called the Upper Limb Functional Index into the Albanian language. This tool is designed to help assess how well people can use their arms and shoulders, especially in those who experience pain or have had injuries. By making this tool available in Albanian, the researchers hope to improve communication and care for Albanian-speaking patients dealing with upper limb issues.

To participate in this study, individuals aged 18 to 75 who are experiencing shoulder pain, arm pain, or related muscle discomfort may be eligible. However, those with certain serious conditions like tumors or neurological diseases will not be included. While the trial is not yet recruiting participants, once it begins, participants can expect to complete questionnaires that will help researchers understand their pain and function in daily activities. Overall, this study aims to better support the Albanian-speaking community in addressing upper limb challenges.
