About this trial
This study investigates the efficacy of combining Transfer Energy Capacitive and Resistive (TECAR) therapy with standard strengthening exercises in treating Shoulder Impingement Syndrome (SIS). A double-blinded randomized controlled trial will compare outcomes between patients receiving only strengthening exercises and those receiving both TECAR therapy and exercises. Key outcomes include improvements in pain, muscle strength, joint position sense, and shoulder function. The study aims to determine if TECAR therapy enhances treatment benefits beyond those achieved with exercises alone.
