• People who have a partial tear of a specific shoulder tendon (the supraspinatus), where the tear is smaller than 1 cm and affects less than half the tendon's thickness, confirmed by an ultrasound scan
• People whose shoulder pain has been disrupting their sleep for at least 1 month, with a sleep quality score above 5 on a standard sleep questionnaire (called the PSQI)
• People whose shoulder pain is specifically affecting the quality of their sleep
• People with a body mass index (a measure of body weight relative to height) below 30
• People aged between 40 and 75 years

Who may not be able to join:

• People who have other sources of pain alongside their shoulder pain
• People who have previously had surgery on their shoulder
• People who have a psychiatric or neurological condition
• People who have other health conditions known to affect sleep
• People who have osteoporosis, diabetes, or high cholesterol, as these may affect healing and the risk of the injury getting worse
• People who have alcohol dependence, nicotine addiction, or are regularly exposed to second-hand smoke
• People currently taking certain antibiotics (fluoroquinolones), medications that affect sleep (such as melatonin, trazodone, or zolpidem), antidepressants, antipsychotics, or anti-anxiety medications
