Filter by: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 specific aim of this proposed project is to implement a standard process for integrating MedlinePlus health information prescriptions into the clinic workflow. Hypothesis 1: Individuals in the intervention group who receive tailored email health information with provider selected MedlinePlus links and added commentary for patient specific conditions will be more likely to seek information / use MedlinePlus compared with individuals in the control group. Hypothesis 2: Individuals in the intervention group who receive tailored email health information with provider selected MedlinePlus links and added commentary for patient specific conditions will be more satisfied with the information received compared with individuals in the control group.
This is a double-blinded study of subacromial corticosteroid injection (steroid injection to the shoulder) to treat shoulder pain in the paralyzed (hemiplegic) shoulder of chronic stroke survivors. This study is designed to evaluate pain relief of a standard steroid injection treatment, compared to a high dose treatment and a low dose treatment, for shoulder pain in stroke survivors. A total of 105 chronic stroke survivors with moderate to severe shoulder pain will be enrolled. All eligible participants will undergo an initial test injection to localize pain to the subacromial space. If this turns out to be positive, the subjects will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: 1. low dose group which receives 20mg of steroid (triamcinolone) injection to the subacromial space of the affected shoulder; 2. standard dose group which receives a standard 40mg of steroid (triamcinolone) injection to the subacromial space of the affected shoulder; or 3. high dose group which receives 60mg of steroid (triamcinolone) injection to the subacromial space of the affected shoulder. Study participants will all rate their pain in interviews (Baseline, weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 12 (7 times) and in laboratory-based measures that will be administered at baseline, weeks 4, 8, 12 (4 times). Subjects will be followed for a total of 13 weeks. The study will thus characterize the dose response of triamcinolone for the treatment of hemiplegic shoulder pain.
The purpose of the proposed study is to evaluate the efficacy of the InterX 5000 in relieving chronic neck and shoulder pain. This study will focus on the efficacy of treating patients who have functional limitations in activity because of chronic/recurrent neck or shoulder pain. H1: InterX therapy will have a moderate effect to reduce pain. H2: Functional gains will be greater in patients receiving InterX therapy compared to those who received placebo treatment. H3: Chronic neck and shoulder pain is more prevalent in patients who exhibit radiographic evidence of degenerative spondylosis/arthrosis of the cervical spine.
A pulmonary recruitment maneuver at the end of surgery reduced shoulder pain as well as nausea and vomiting after laparoscopic surgery.
The goal of this research study is to investigate the safety and effectiveness of a new implanted device designed to treat chronic shoulder pain in chronic post-stroke subjects. The BBPM weighs less than 0.03 ounces and measures 1" x 0.1". It is implanted into the shoulder to stimulate the axillary nerve. Stimulation of this nerve may reduce shoulder pain, reduce shoulder subluxation, improve motion, improve function, and decrease use of pain medication. CAUTION--Investigational device. Limited by Federal law to investigational use.
The purpose of this study is to conduct research to see if we can help people who have a spinal cord injury and shoulder pain to decrease the pain in the shoulders. We are investigating the effectiveness of a home exercise program for the shoulders and changes in how tasks are performed compared to an educational program on shoulder pain. There are no new experimental procedures included in this study; instead it is a comparison of two types of treatment that have been provided for this problem before. The new part of this study is the collecting of information before and after treatment. We hypothesize that those who participate in this home exercise program will have decrease shoulder pain and increase activity.
The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a workplace cognitive and physical program (Intervention), in reducing the frequency of head and neck pain
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether a physiotherapy program reduces pain and improves disability and quality-of-life in people with chronic shoulder pain. The main study hypotheses are that (i) A 10-week physiotherapy treatment will result in significantly greater reductions in pain and disability than placebo treatment in individuals with chronic shoulder pain (ii) Improvements in pain and disability following a 10-week physiotherapy treatment will be maintained at a 3-month follow-up.
Patients undergoing chest surgery (thoracotomy) often develop shoulder pain after their operation despite epidural pain control of the incision. We plan to study the incidence of this phenomenon in our institution to determine whether there are patterns that may predict those persons at highest risk of developing this type of pain. Further, we hope to determine whether newer surgical techniques have an impact on the development of this type of pain.
