Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aims to evaluate the effects of rehabilitation programs supported by artificial intelligence-based large language models (LLMs), specifically ChatGPT and DeepSeek, in individuals with subacromial pain syndrome (SAPS). Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: standard physiotherapy, standard physiotherapy plus ChatGPT-guided exercises, and standard physiotherapy plus DeepSeek-guided exercises. Outcomes including pain, disability, quality of life, muscle strength, and joint range of motion will be assessed before and after a 6-week intervention. The results will help determine whether AI-generated exercise recommendations can enhance clinical outcomes when combined with conventional physiotherapy.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This randomized controlled trial investigates the clinical effects of integrating AI-generated exercise recommendations into conventional physiotherapy for patients diagnosed with subacromial pain syndrome (SAPS). A total of 60 participants will be recruited and randomly assigned to one of three groups: (1) standard physiotherapy only, (2) standard physiotherapy plus ChatGPT-generated exercises, and (3) standard physiotherapy plus DeepSeek-generated exercises. Each intervention will last for 6 weeks, with sessions performed 3 times per week under physiotherapist supervision.

The primary outcomes include pain (NPRS), disability (SPADI, DASH), and quality of life (SF-12). Secondary outcomes include muscle strength (K-Force device), joint range of motion (goniometer), kinesiophobia (TSK), pain catastrophizing (PCS), emotional status (HADS), and shoulder function (ASES, WORC). Pre- and post-intervention assessments will be conducted in a blinded manner. All participants will provide informed consent prior to participation.

Allocation Method

RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

Participants will be randomly assigned to three parallel groups:

1. standard physiotherapy combined with a conventional exercise program for subacromial pain syndrome based on current clinical guidelines,
2. standard physiotherapy combined with ChatGPT-guided exercises, and
3. standard physiotherapy combined with DeepSeek-guided exercises.

Investigators Outcome Assessors
The outcomes assessor and the diagnosing physician will be blinded to group assignment. The treating physiotherapist will not be blinded but will not be involved in outcome assessments.
