Simple and Evidence-based Examination and Treatment of Shoulder Pain in General Practice
Sponsor: University of Oslo
Summary
Previous research suggests that general practitioners find handling patients with shoulder pain difficult and that the current care for shoulder pain is not in line with the best available evidence (1).This project aims to assess the effectiveness, costs and implementation of an evidence-based guideline for shoulder pain in general practice.
