An interventional study of Real mobilization-with-movement (MWM) and Sham mobilization-with-movement (MWM) in Shoulder Impingement Syndrome, sponsored by César Fernández-de-las-Peñas. Completed at 1 site in Spain. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 65 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2014-06-24.

Controversy exists regarding the effectiveness of manual therapy techniques for the management of impingement syndrome. However, no adequately powered clinical trials have examined the effects of mobilization-with-movement. The purpose of the current study was to perform a randomized controlled trial comparing the effects of real MWM to a group receiving a sham intervention on shoulder pain at different moments and active shoulder range of motion in an adequately powered sample of patients with shoulder impingement syndrome.
304 studies on the registry are indexed under Shoulder Impingement Syndrome; 55 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 42 is below the median of 54 across 261 interventional studies indexed under Shoulder Impingement Syndrome.

Exclusion Criteria:
For the MWM group, an accessory posterior-lateral gliding movement in the humeral head combined with a movement of active shoulder flexion will be applied. One hand will be placed over the scapula posteriorly while the thenar eminence of the other hand will be placed over the anterior aspect of the head of the humerus
Other: Real mobilization-with-movement (MWM)
The sham condition will replicate the treatment condition except for the hand positioning. The therapist locates one hand over the belly of the pectoralis major muscle and the other over scapula without applying any pressure. The patient will be asked to move the arm in a similar manner as in the MWM group
Other: Sham mobilization-with-movement (MWM)
Changes in the intensity of shoulder pain before and after the treatment
Participants were asked to rate the intensity of their pain using an 11-point numerical pain rating scale (NPRS; 0: no pain; 10: maximum pain) for 3 scores of perceived pain: 1, the intensity of shoulder pain experienced in the last 24h; 2, the intensity of shoulder pain at night; 3, the intensity of shoulder pain during shoulder flexion.
Time frame: Baseline and one week after intervention
Changes in shoulder range of motion before and after the treatment
A universal goniometer was used to assess the participant's shoulder range of motion in the following motions: * Pain-free and maximum (painful) range of motion in shoulder flexion * Pain-free range of motion in shoulder extension * Pain-free range of motion in shoulder abduction * Pain-free range of motion in shoulder external rotation * Pain-free range of motion in shoulder medial (internal) rotation
Time frame: Baseline and one week after the intervention
