A Korean group randomised thirty-one elite recurve archers with shoulder pain and had sixteen of them work on the lower trapezius three times a week for eight weeks: pain fell from 4.56 to 2.88 out of ten in those who trained and rose slightly in those who did not, and perceived shoulder instability fell as well. It remains a single trial, on thirty-one people, in a regional journal and without blinded assessment. Those who have returned to the archer's lower trapezius since then looked at strength, muscle activation and score, leaving out the pain itself.claim:trapezio-inferiore-dolore-spalla:revision:2026-10-13:3Tue, 13 Oct 2026 08:00:00 GMT https://matteocampagna.com/en/registry/health/lower-trapezius-shoulder-painclaim:trapezio-inferiore-dolore-spalla:new_claim:2026-10-12:non_studiatoMon, 12 Oct 2026 08:00:00 GMT
