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

What this trial studies

This study investigates the effectiveness of noninvasive phrenic nerve neuromodulation in treating shoulder pain that may be related to hepatobiliary visceral disorders. It aims to understand how visceral conditions can cause referred pain in the shoulder area and whether neuromodulation can alleviate this pain. The approach involves assessing patients with right shoulder pain and associated liver conditions, utilizing both neuromodulation techniques and physical therapy as interventions.
