Background: Repetitive overhead throwing is the main cause of shoulder impingement syndrome (SIS), a common overuse condition among young handball players. It results in decreased performance, discomfort, and restricted range of motion. Although there is little comparison data in young athletes, non-invasive physiotherapeutic treatments like Iontophoresis and High-Intensity Laser Therapy (HILT) are being employed more and more to treat this disease. Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate how well HILT and Iontophoresis worked for young handball players with SIS in terms of pain relief, shoulder function, and joint mobility. Methods: The participants in this randomized controlled experiment were young handball players between the ages of 14 and 18.
