The result is a six-week outpatient trial of Turkish adults aged 18–65 with 69 completers, testing clinician-curated AI programs as additions to identical physiotherapy; no superiority or equivalence is established, and the resting-pain signal is exploratory. MEASUREMENT

Exact excerpt

This three-arm trial was conducted in an outpatient physical medicine and rehabilitation clinic of a university-affiliated hospital. Adults aged 18–65 years with subacromial pain syndrome were randomized 1:1:1 to conventional, clinician-curated ChatGPT-4o-assisted, or clinician-curated DeepSeek-R1-assisted exercise programming; all groups received identical physical-therapy modalities and supervised exercise three times per week for six weeks. Seventy-five participants were enrolled and 69 completed follow-up. SPADI improved in all groups without a significant between-group difference over six weeks (P=0.428); key secondary outcomes remained nonsignificant after Holm adjustment. Resting pain favored DeepSeek-R1 (P=0.005), but the paper calls this exploratory, requires confirmation, and states the findings should not be interpreted as establishing equivalence.
