What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
radial shock wave phonophoresis plus conventional physical therapyDevice
patients will receive radial shock wave Phonophoresis by ibuprofen in the form of 2000 shocks, 2 bars, 8 MHz frequency plus (strengthening and stretching exercises for subraspinatus muscle).
radial shock wave therapy plus conventional physical therapy.Device
patients will receive radial shock wave therapy ( 2000 shocks, 2 bars, 8 MHz), plus conventional physical therapy (strengthening and stretching exercises for subraspinatus muscle).
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| radial shock wave Phonophoresis with ibuprofen plus conventional physical therapy | Experimental | Not described Receives: Device: radial shock wave phonophoresis plus conventional physical therapy |
| sham radial shock wave therapy plus conventional physical therapy | Sham comparator | Not described Receives: Device: radial shock wave therapy plus conventional physical therapy. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

shoulder pain
shoulder pain will be measured by numerical pain scale
Measured: before the first session and after the last session ( four weeks)
shoulder function
function will be measured by shoulder pain and disability index

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing radial shock wave phonophoresis plus conventional physical therapy and radial shock wave therapy plus conventional physical therapy. in people with Rehabilitation and Shock Wave, run by MTI University at 1 site in Egypt.
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 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Jun 2026. 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 Egypt. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
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?
subacromial space (time frame: before the first session and after the last session ( four weeks)). 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 10 Jun 2026.
