To test the efficacy of laser treatment in reducing shoulder pain caused by supraspinatus muscle tendinopathy. A randomized controlled clinical trial was carried out in which a physiotherapy intervention was performed using therapeutic laser for four weeks, to observe the influence on the pain generated by supraspinatus muscle tendinopathy in the shoulder.

Laser therapy was applied to the first group and to the second group it was applied as a placebo
