Telerehabilitation vs Conventional Rehab Non-Inferiority Trial for Subacromial Pain
ClinicalTrials.gov Studies
Summary
NIH has registered a clinical trial (NCT07536009) on ClinicalTrials.gov evaluating whether a telerehabilitation program is non-inferior to conventional in-person physical therapy for patients with subacromial pain syndrome. The prospective, randomized, parallel-group, single-center controlled non-inferiority trial will measure primary outcome of shoulder function using the QuickDASH questionnaire at 12 weeks. Secondary outcomes include pain intensity, range of motion, treatment adherence, and long-term functional outcomes.
What changed
NIH has registered a new clinical trial on ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT07536009) comparing digital telerehabilitation to conventional in-person physical therapy for subacromial impingement syndrome. The non-inferiority trial will enroll patients receiving either remote digital physical therapy with monitoring or standard in-person rehabilitation, with primary endpoint of shoulder function at 12 weeks.
For compliance officers and clinical researchers, this trial registration documents a growing area of interest in remote healthcare delivery models. While the trial itself does not create regulatory obligations, it reflects increasing use of digital health technologies for musculoskeletal conditions and may generate evidence relevant to future coverage and reimbursement decisions for telehealth services.

"Effectiveness of a Telerehabilitation Program Versus a Conventional Rehabilitation Program in Patients With Subacromial Pain"
N/A NCT07536009 Kind: NA Apr 17, 2026
Abstract
The purpose of this prospective, randomized, parallel-group, single-center, controlled non-inferiority clinical trial is to determine whether a telerehabilitation program is non-inferior to a conventional rehabilitation program in patients with subacromial pain. Subacromial pain is a prevalent musculoskeletal condition, and while therapeutic exercise is the cornerstone of conservative management, adherence to home programs is often low. Conversely, conventional in-person physical therapy presents logistical and economic barriers for patients. This study aims to evaluate if a well-designed telerehabilitation program, utilizing information and communication technologies for remote monitoring, can provide an effective, accessible, and non-inferior alternative to conventional care. The primary outcome measured will be the change in shoulder function utilizing the QuickDASH questionnaire at 12 weeks. Secondary outcomes will assess pain intensity (VAS), range of motion (ROM), treatment adherence, and long-term functional outcomes.
Conditions: Subacromial Impingement Syndrome
