Methods Target sample size: 60
Recruitment status: recruiting
Study type: Intervention
Study design: Clinical trial of a randomised, parallel‐group, double‐blind, 3‐arm treatment
Participants Rotator cuff lesion grades I and II in the Neer classification; both sexes; age from 18 to 70 years; have signed the informed consent form; subacromial pain for at least three months; two of the three positive impact tests (Jobe, Hawkins and Neer)
