What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Pain Severity During Shoulder Rehabilitation Treatment
Pain severity will be assessed using a Numerical Rating Scale (0-10), where 0 indicates no pain and 10 indicates the worst imaginable pain. Both groups will receive 2 treatment sessions per week. Pain assessments will be made at baseline (pre-intervention) and at the end of the 4-week intervention (post-intervention) to evaluate changes in pain severity.
Measurement Unit: Numerical Rating Scale (0-10), where 0 = no pain, 10 = worst possible pain.
Measured: Baseline and 4 weeks (post-intervention)

Time frame: Baseline and 4 weeks (post-intervention)
Pain severity will be assessed using a Numerical Rating Scale (0-10), where 0 indicates no pain and 10 indicates the worst imaginable pain. Both groups will receive 2 treatment sessions per week. Pain assessments will be made at baseline (pre-intervention) and at the end of the 4-week intervention (post-intervention) to evaluate changes in pain severity. Measurement Unit: Numerical Rating Scale (0-10), where 0 = no pain, 10 = worst possible pain.
Results and safety
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
