Objective: The main objective of this randomised clinical trial is to determine the efficacy of ET versus treatment of MTPs in shoulder tendinopathies.
Methods: For this study, 20 participants were randomly divided into two groups: a ET group, with which a 10-exercise programme was initiated (n = 10), and a PGM group which was given an intervention protocol (n = 10).
