Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

In this assessor-blinded randomized trial, adults with unilateral subacromial impingement syndrome are assigned to six weeks of balance training plus conventional physiotherapy or conventional physiotherapy alone. The primary outcome is change in the Central Sensitization Inventory, with secondary outcomes including shoulder pain and disability, fear of movement, pressure pain thresholds, and balance. Assessments occur at baseline and immediately after treatment by an assessor unaware of group assignment. A total of 78 participants are planned to participate, recruited from Emsey Hospital in Istanbul under Istanbul Gedik University's lead sponsorship.
