Laser Therapy in Adhesive Capsulitis

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Clinical Trial Description

Adhesive capsulitis is an idiopathic disease characterized by a decrease in the volume of the glenoid capsule, the development of fibrosis and a progressive decrease in the range of joint movement with pain. Shoulder pain and stiffness are accompanied by disability. It is thought that the incidence is 3% to 5% in the general population and 20% in people with diabetes. Although usually reported to be self-limiting in 2 to 3 years, studies have reported that 40% of patients have persistent pain and stiffness for more than 3 years.

Therefore, various therapies are used to reduce pain and increase the range of motion more rapidly without waiting for spontaneous recovery. Adhesive capsulitis treatment includes conservative and surgical treatment options. The options for non-surgical treatments are pharmacological treatments including intra-articular injection and physical therapy modalities. As for physical therapy modalities, various interventions are used. These include heat or ice, therapeutic ultrasound, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation and laser therapies.

The aim of exercise programs consisting of joint range of motion (ROM), strengthening and stretching exercises, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation and mobilization techniques is to alleviate pain caused by the capsular contracture and to improve glenohumeral ROM.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate and compare the effects of high-intensity laser therapy on pain, disease - related disability and quality of life in patients with shoulder restriction and pain due to adhesive capsulitis. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
