In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This study aims to compare the effects of blood flow restricted (BFR) exercise and to examine the differences between various BFR protocols on acute pain reduction in individuals with rotator cuff-related shoulder pain, as well as the exercise tolerance at each intensity and occlusion setting. There are four exercise modalities corresponding to different combinations of intensity (%RM) and percentage of occlusion (%AOP): 1) 30% RM and 30% AOP; 2) 30% RM and 50% AOP; 3) 30% RM and 70% AOP; 4) 30% RM and BFR placebo (cuff without pressure). All participants will complete one session of each of the four exercise modalities, analyzing the variables studied in each for subsequent analysis and comparison.
