About this study
Official title: Quasi-experimental Study Protocol to Measure the Effect of Modified Sleeper-Stretch on the Elasticity of the Posterior and Posteroinferior Glenohumeral Capsule by Means of Shear Wave Elastography in Adult Population
The goal of this quasi-experimental study is to determine the effect of the self-administered Modified Sleeper-Stretch on the elasticity of the posterior and posteroinferior glenohumeral capsule in adult individuals of both genders who either have clinical history of non-specific shoulder pain in a single shoulder or have no history of shoulder pain at all, being the assessment made by means of shear wave elastography. The main hypothesis it aims to confirm is:
- A soft tissue stretching program, using the Modified Sleeper-Stretch, aimed at general adult population with history of nonspecific shoulder pain that has occurred with glenohumeral internal rotation deficit improves the elasticity of the posterior and posteroinferior glenohumeral capsules, showing no significant effect on general adult population without history of shoulder pain.

Researchers will compare the effect of the Modified Sleeper-Stretch in the elasticity of the posterior and posteroinferior glenohumeral capsule in individuals with history of shoulder pain applying the technique on the affected shoulder and comparing with the healthy shoulder. In healthy individuals the intervention will be made on a randomly assigned shoulder and the effect will be compared to the non-interventional shoulder. Finally, a comparison between groups will be made considering only the intervention shoulder to see if there are differences in the effect amongst healthy and affected individuals.
Participants will be asked to follow a self-administered Modified Sleeper-Stretch program consisting of the execution of the stretch three times, for thirty seconds each time, with thirty seconds between stretches, daily, for twenty-eight days.
Read the detailed description
Non-specific shoulder pain is the third most frequent among musculoskeletal pains. It causes functional limitation that can lead to capsular stiffness and restriction of movement. Interventions aimed at reducing posterior capsule stiffness may improve the symptoms of painful shoulder. Modified Sleeper-Stretch is credited with the ability to decrease posterior shoulder stiffness. Shear-wave elastography is an imaging technique capable of quantifying the stiffness of the posterior capsule of the shoulder.
The objective of this study is to determine the effect of a stretching program using Modified Sleeper-Stretch on the elasticity of the posterior and posteroinferior capsule of the glenohumeral joint in adult population with and without a history of non-specific shoulder pain, using shear-wave elastography.
A quasi-experimental pre-post study will be conducted over two experimental groups of 32 subjects each. The intervention will involve following a self-stretching program of the posterior region of the shoulder using modified sleeper-stretch for 28 days. The study subjects will be adult individuals with a history of non-specific shoulder pain in the first group and no history of shoulder pain in the second. The first group will follow the program on the affected shoulder, the second on a randomly assigned shoulder. The elasticity of the posterior and posteroinferior glenohumeral capsule will be measured by shear-wave elastography in both shoulders at the beginning of the intervention, at its completion and four weeks after the end of the intervention.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Modified Sleeper-StretchOther
Self-administered stretch in which the individual remains side-lying on the upper limb to be stretched, keeping the scapula stabilized by his/her own weight, and rolls the trunk 20-30º posteriorly, maintaining a 90º flexion in the shoulder and elbow. Using the opposite hand over the forearm of the limb to be stretched, the individual passively brings the shoulder to maximum internal rotation.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Shoulder pain history | Experimental | Execution of the Modified Sleeper-Stretch three times, for thirty seconds each time, with thirty seconds between stretches, daily, for twenty-eight days. The stretch will be applied on the shoulder with history of shoulder pain. Receives: Other: Modified Sleeper-Stretch |
| No history of shoulder pain | Experimental | Execution of the Modified Sleeper-Stretch three times, for thirty seconds each time, with thirty seconds between stretches, daily, for twenty-eight days. The stretch will be applied on a shoulder randomly assigned. Receives: Other: Modified Sleeper-Stretch |

The goal of this quasi-experimental study is to determine the effect of the self-administered Modified Sleeper-Stretch on the elasticity of the posterior and posteroinferior glenohumeral capsule in adult individuals of both genders who either have clinical history of non-specific shoulder pain in a single shoulder or have no history of shoulder pain at all, being the assessment made by means of shear wave elastography. The main hypothesis it aims to confirm is:
- A soft tissue stretching program, using the Modified Sleeper-Stretch, aimed at general adult population with history of nonspecific shoulder pain that has occurred with glenohumeral internal rotation deficit improves the elasticity of the posterior and posteroinferior glenohumeral capsules, showing no significant effect on general adult population without history of shoulder pain.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Modified Sleeper-Stretch in people with Shoulder Pain and Shoulder Pain Chronic, run by University of Alcala 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 13 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Jul 2024. 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?
Contact Esteban Ramirez-Llano, PT (+34 635221898, esteban.ramirez@edu.uah.es), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Posterior glenohumeral capsule elasticity (time frame: Day 1 (twice), day 28 (twice), day 56 (once)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06509516, which also lists 14 linked publications.
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?
