Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome Clinical Trial
Official title:
Short Term Efficacy of the Combination of Radiofrecuency Diathermy and Supervised Exercise Versus Supervised Exercise Alone in the Treatment of Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome.
This study will analyze the effects of a non-invasive radiofrequency diathermy device added
to knee exercises on the symptoms of patellofemoral pain syndrome. For this aim, a randomized
clinical trial will be carried out with a control group that will perform supervised
exercises and an experimental group that will add radiofrequency diathermy to supervised
exercises. Diathermy treatment will be performed along three weeks, ten treatment sessions in
total, while supervised exercises will be performed daily.
Outcomes to measure will include pain, knee function and quality of life
At first, a meeting will be held with the patients under study where they will be informed
and any doubts that may arise in relation to the investigation will be resolved. In addition,
the correct adaptation of these to the inclusion and exclusion criteria of our study will be
verified. Subsequently, they will be given individually the informed consent prepared
expressly for the present study, the doubts arising with respect to this one will be resolved
and their signature will proceed. At this time, and individually again, we will proceed to
the development of the Clinical History of Physiotherapy where only the information necessary
for our study will be collected. To emphasize in this point that the participants will grant
their consent for the treatment of the data obtained for scientific purposes, according to
the legal norms.
Next, the patients will be randomly assigned to two groups: control group and experimental
group. The randomization of the sample was done through the EPIDAT software in version 3.1
between the Experimental Group and the Control Group. Subsequently, the evaluations and
measurements of the study variables will be carried out by the research team.
CONTROL GROUP: them will be provided exclusively therapeutic exercises protocol that you must
be performed supervised by a physiotherapist following a daily activity for three weeks.
EXPERIMENTAL GROUP: After the initial evaluation, the first 10 treatment sessions will be
developed at the rate of five daily sessions in the first week, three sessions on alternate
days in the second week and two sessions on alternate days in the third week (3 weeks in
total), applying the monopolar dielectric diathermy by radiofrequency in the anterior aspect
of the knee, in dynamic application in one of the members: affect or randomized (uni or
bilateral pathology, respectively). This diathermy will be combined with the same supervised
therapeutic exercise program of the control group.
The treatment is administered with a pulsed non-invasive radiofrequency device with 30V peak
power along 12 minutes, with a dose submitis (grade I) for three weeks. The first week, daily
treatment will be perform from Monday to Friday, second week on Monday, Wednesday and Friday
and the third week on Monday and Thursday.
After the tenth treatment session, all the measurements will be repeated following the same
environmental conditions as at the beginning and by the evaluators themselves to the
components of both groups.
