We retrieved 4853 articles. Eleven RCTs were appraised and five had a low risk of bias. Four studies addressed subacromial impingement syndrome.

1) supervised strengthening leads to greater short-term improvement in pain and disability over wait listing
2) supervised and home-based strengthening and stretching leads to greater short-term improvement in pain and disability compared to no treatment. For persistent subacromial impingement syndrome:
3) supervised and home-based strengthening leads to similar outcomes as surgery;
4) home-based heavy load eccentric training does not add benefits to home-based rotator cuff strengthening and physiotherapy.
5) For variable duration low-grade nonspecific shoulder pain, supervised strengthening and stretching leads to similar short-term outcomes as corticosteroid injections or multimodal care.
