Official title: The Effectiveness of Augmented Reality Combined With Scapular Repositioning Exercises in Patients With Chronic Shoulder Pain and Scapular Dyskinesis: a Randomized Clinical Trial
The aim of this study is to analyze whether an Augmented Reality based scapular stabilization exercise program is more effective than conventional programs in patients with chronic shoulder pain and Scapular Dyskinesis.
- Conditions
- Shoulder Pain
- Being tested
- Augmented reality, Scapular repositioning exercise
- Medical subject headings

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Augmented realityOther
The subjects will perform scapular repositioning exercise using glasses of augmented reality to see their scapular movement simultaneously. Furthermore, they will also see at the same time a video record of an "ideal" scapular movement, and will me encouraged to simulate that "ideal" scapular movement.
Scapular repositioning exerciseOther
Subjects will perform scapular repositioning exercises for improving scapular movement.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Agumented Reality combined with scapular exercises | Experimental | Scapular exercises performed with glasses of augmented reality during sessions at clinic, and without glasses at home. Receives: Other: Augmented reality; Other: Scapular repositioning exercise |
| Scapular exercises | Active comparator | Scapular exercises performed all the time without glasses. Receives: Other: Scapular repositioning exercise |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change in pain intensity
Pain intensity measured with a visual analogue scale which ranges from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst imaginable pain).
Measured: Baseline, change from baseline at 1-month, change from baseline at 2-months, change from baseline at 3-months, and change from baseline at 6-months
Secondary outcomes (6)
Change in shoulder disability
Shoulder disability measured with Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI), which ranges from 0 (no disability) to 100 (maximum degree of disability).
Measured: Baseline, change from baseline at 1-month, change from baseline at 2-months, change from baseline at 3-months, and change from baseline at 6-months
Change in arm disability
Arm disability measured with Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (Quick-DASH), which ranges from 0 (no disability) to 100 (maximum degree of disability).
Measured: Baseline, change from baseline at 1-month, change from baseline at 2-months, change from baseline at 3-months, and change from baseline at 6-months
Change in kinesiophobia
Kinesiophobia measured with Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia (TSK-11), which ranges from 0 (no kinesiophobia) to 100 (maximum degree of kinesiophobia)
Measured: Baseline, change from baseline at 1-month, change from baseline at 2-months, change from baseline at 3-months, and change from baseline at 6-months
Change in catastrophism
Pain catastrophism measured with Pain Catastrophism Scale (PCS), which ranges from 0 (no catastrophism) to 100 (severe catastrophism).
Measured: Baseline, change from baseline at 1-month, change from baseline at 2-months, change from baseline at 3-months, and change from baseline at 6-months
Change in shoulder range of motion
Shoulder range of motion in abduction, flexion, internal and external rotation, measured with a goniometer
Measured: Baseline, 1-month, 2-months, 3-months, and 6-months
Change in surface electromiography
Electromiographic activity of serratus anterior, upper trapezius, lower trapezius, and deltoid medimum muscles. Percent of electromiographic activity as a function of maximum voluntary isometric contraction, as well as latency of muscle activation during scaption will be recorded.
Measured: Baseline, change from baseline at 1-month, change from baseline at 2-months, change from baseline at 3-months, and change from baseline at 6-months

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Augmented reality and Scapular repositioning exercise in people with Shoulder Pain, run by Ruben Fernandez Matias at 1 site in Spain.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: paused, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Nov 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Spain. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Change in pain intensity (time frame: Baseline, change from baseline at 1-month, change from baseline at 2-months, change from baseline at 3-months, and change from baseline at 6-months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 Nov 2022.
