Epub 2012 May 2934 patients with shoulder pain due to tendinopathy were randomized to investigate the effect and safety of interferential light therapy compared to conventional light therapy. Patients were allocated to 10 session over two weeks of either of the aforementioned interventions. Outcomes in pain and disability were measured after the two week intervention period.
