Purpose: Subacromial impingement syndrome is the most common shoulder condition. Myofascial trigger points in teres major muscle can be associated with this syndrome. The investigators objective is to find out if adding manual therapy specifically for teres major trigger points can produce better results in these patients.
Method: A randomized controlled pilot study was carried out. Fifty people were randomly assigned to one of two groups: intervention group or control group. Both groups received a protocolized physical therapy treatment while the intervention group additionally received manual therapy for teres major trigger points.
304 studies on the registry are indexed under Shoulder Impingement Syndrome; 55 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 58 is close to the median of 54 across 261 interventional studies indexed under Shoulder Impingement Syndrome.
