Clinical Trial Summary

This study aimed to investigate the effects of nocturnal pain on clinical and ultrasonographic parameters in patients with rotator cuff tendinopathy.

Description:

Thirty patients with nocturnal pain, 30 patients without nocturnal pain, and 30 healthy subjects were included in the study. The demographic characteristics and body mass indexes of the patients were recorded. The visual analogue scale was used to determine pain severity. The American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Scale Assessment, Short Form-36 and Beck Depression Inventory were used to determine patients' shoulder function, general quality of life and depression levels, respectively. The peak systolic velocity and resistive index of anterior circumflex humeral artery was assessed with power doppler ultrasonography.The peak systolic velocity and resistive index of anterior circumflex humeral artery values of the affected and unaffected sides were compared.
