Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of electrotherapy as a coadjuvant in mobility and exercise treatment in the reduction of pain intensity in subacromial impingement syndrome.
The purpose of this study is to compare Supervised Exercises with another non-operative frequently used treatment, Radial Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (rESWT), for patients with subacromial impingement syndrome.
The study aims at determining the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of surgical management of subacromial impingement (including partial tears) compared to conservative treatment. The research setting is prospective, randomised, and controlled. The aim of the study is to search out evidence based data of indications for subacromial decompression. The investigators also aim at offering patients the most efficient and effective treatment and reduce the number of operations that do not have sufficient effectiveness. The data obtained will facilitate developing guidelines for referrals to a specialist when subacromial impingement is suspected. The investigators hypothesise that there are subgroups of patients suffering from subacromial impingement that benefit from surgery whereas other subgroups are best treated conservatively.
pShoulder impingement syndrome is common and number of operations done per year is growing. The aim of this study is to compare the value of arthroscopic subacromial decompression (acromioplasty group) vs. diagnostic arthroscopy (control group) vs. supervised exercise therapy (conservative group) on subjects with chronic subacromial impingement syndrome. The results of treatment are measured at 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months, 5 years and 10 years. Primary outcome measures are pain at rest and activity (VASs) and secondary outcomes are functional assessment of the shoulder with Constant score and Simple Shoulder test (SST), global assessment of change , quality of life assessment (SF-36 and 15D) and costs. At 10 year follow-up, MRI imaging is obtained and the findings compared to baseline imaging.
Study hypothesis: The impingement syndrome of the rotator cuff is a common cause of shoulder pain for which the most effective treatment is unknown. Steroid injections and anti-inflammatory analgetics are considered as effective methods. Physiotherapy and acromioplasty are commonly used treatments. Hypothesis: Arthroscopy and acromioplasty in addition to conservative treatment is equally effective as conservative treatment alone for shoulder impingement syndrome.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of arthroscopic subacromial decompression (acromioplasty) to arthroscopic subacromial bursectomy (no acromioplasty) in rotator cuff impingement syndrome. The investigators' hypothesis is that arthroscopic subacromial decompression provides no additional benefit, as evaluated with disease specific quality of life measures, compared to arthroscopic bursectomy.
