Filter by:This randomised controlled study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a neuromuscular training-based exercise program on pain, function, risk factors specific to shoulder injuries and performance in overhead athletes with shoulder pain. The main hypothesis is; H0: There is no difference between the "Thrower's Ten" exercise program and the neuromuscular training-based exercise program applied to overhead athletes with shoulder pain, on pain, function, risk factors specific to shoulder injuries, and performance. H1: The effects of a neuromuscular training-based exercise program on pain, function, risk factors specific to shoulder injuries and performance in overhead athletes with shoulder pain are superior to the effects of "Thrower's Ten" exercise program
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the first-line treatment for symptomatic gallstones. Pneumoperitoneum is the process of expanding the abdominal cavity during the surgical procedure by introducing CO2 gas into the abdomen to widen the field of view and operation. Although CO2 gas is usually released through the subumbilical incision at the end of laparoscopic cholecystectomy, some CO2 gas remains in the peritoneal cavity. This CO2 gas remaining in the peritoneal cavity can cause abdominal distension. Abdominal distension may also increase postoperative pain. In a study, abdominal distension was observed in 42.7% of patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia. Although CO2 gas is usually released through the subumbilical incision at the end of laparoscopic cholecystectomy, some CO2 gas remains in the peritoneal cavity. This CO2 gas remaining in the peritoneal cavity may cause abdominal distension. On the other hand the incidence of shoulder pain due to pneumoperitoneum and CO2 insufflation after laparoscopic surgery ranges from 35% to 60%. In a study conducted in the Republic of Korea in 2016 in 105 laparoscopic surgery patients, the incidence of shoulder pain after laparoscopy was found to be 80% in the first 24 hours. Inappropriate treatment of postoperative pain in laparoscopic surgery can lead to delayed mobilization, patient dissatisfaction, delayed hospital discharge, and development of chronic pain. In this study, the effect of respiratory exercises and the use of incentive spirometry in the early postoperative period on abdominal distension, shoulder pain and mobilization process in laparoscopic cholecystectomy patients will be examined. We aimed to evaluate the effect of deep breathing exercises and the use of incentive spirometry in the early postoperative period on abdominal distension and shoulder pain due to insufflation procedure in laparoscopic cholecystectomy patients. It is important to take some precautions from the early period to prevent problems that may develop after abdominal surgery. It is thought that the use of deep breathing exercises and incentive spirometry in the early period after laparoscopic cholecystectomy will have an effect on abdominal distension, shoulder pain and mobilization process due to the insufflation procedure.
Objective: To estimate whether oncological physiotherapy treatment with neurodynamic and kinesitherapy (passive and active) in patients with "painful shoulder due to accessory spinal nerve dissection" operated on for head and neck cancer is more effective than standard therapeutic exercise therapy with strength. Design: Randomized Clinical Trial (intervention study, no drugs). Two branches of rehabilitative treatment applied by oncological physiotherapist. GROUP I: Treatment of passive and active mobilizations together with neurodynamics techniques. GROUP II (or control group) Current treatment applied as gold standard, consisting of therapeutic strength exercise, which the patient will carry out under the supervision of the physiotherapist. The frequency of both will be twice a week for two months. Study subjects: Participants who underwent cervical ganglion dissection surgery for head and neck cancer, and who have, as a surgical sequela, a painful shoulder due to accessory spinal nerve injury. Determinations: At baseline (t0), at one month (t1m) and at the end (t6m) will be measured, (1) the degree of pain of the participants through the pain scale (EVA), (2) the functionality of the shoulder, with the DASH scale and goniometry, (3) the quality of life with the QLQ H&N35 questionnaire, (4) the strength with a hand dynamometer and (5) the degree of neurodynamics of the accessory spinal nerve with the neurodynamic test for this nerve.
Shoulder pain is one of the most common reasons people consult with their primary health care provider, and 40-50% of these patients with shoulder pain continued to complain of persistent symptoms after 6 to 12 months. It has been suggested that the presence of myofascial trigger points (MTrPs) may contribute to the chronicity of shoulder symptoms. An MTrP is a hyperirritable taut band of tissue within a muscle that produces pain when stimulated MTrPs are common in patients with shoulder disorders and occur most often in the infraspinatus muscle of a painful shoulder MTrPs were associated with an acidic biochemical environment with elevated levels of inflammatory mediators, neuropeptides, and proinflammatory cytokines such as bradykinin and calcitonin g-related peptide. It was hypothesized that metabolic demands on muscle and capillary constrictions may contribute to the development of MTrPs. To date, only a few studies have examined the vascular environment of MTrPs and surrounding areas before and after dry needling. No studies have yet examined whether dry needling would change blood flow in patients with shoulder pathology. Therefore, the purpose of this pilot study is to examine the effect of dry needling on blood flow of the infraspinatus muscle using color Doppler imaging in individuals with shoulder pain. The secondary purpose is to examine the effect of DN on shoulder motion and sensitivity to pressure in individuals with shoulder pain.

The objectives of this study are to confirm safety, performance and clinical benefits of the Anaverse™ Glenoid System and its instrumentation by analysis of standard scoring systems, radiographs and adverse event records.
In a longitudinal cohort project, the objective is to evaluate general prognostic and individual risk factors for long lasting shoulder pain, with a specific focus on evaluation of the association between metabolic syndrome and tendinopathy, while simultaneous adjusting for other potential prognostic candidate variables (PROGRESS Theme I-II).
Background: nonspecific shoulder pain is very common and the symptoms can persist for 6 to 12 months in half of patients. Ultrasound-guided Percutaneous Neuromodulation (US-guided PNM) is an intervention based in an electrical stimulation of a peripheral nerve through a needle located close to the target nerve by the use of an ultrasound guidance. Objectives: the primary aim is to determine changes in strength after US-guided PNM or Ultrasound-guided Dry Needling (US-guided DN) intervention in the Suprascapular Nerve (SN) as well as its effectiveness in changes of muscle function, pain and disability. Methods: randomised clinical trial (ratio 1:1), single-blind (examiners), parallel, with assessment of third parties. 62 adult participants with unilateral mechanical chronic nonspecific shoulder pain with at least 3-month evolution and shoulder muscle weakness will randomised to one of two procedures: US-guided PNM or US-guided DN. It will be assessed muscle strength, muscle function, pain and disability before, just after, a week and a month after the intervention.
The aim of this study is to determine and statistically justify the correlation between shoulder girdle injuries and the development of neck-shoulder pain syndrome. The study enrolled 1402 patients with hospital-treated shoulder girdle injuries (with consequences of upper limb trauma). Detailed protocol and questionnaire for clinical examination after discharge from the hospital were conducted. The prevalence of neck-shoulder pain among patients was calculated. The diagnostic value (sensitivity and specificity) of tests used in the study was assessed.
The objectives of this study are to confirm safety, performance and clinical benefits of the ASHCOM Shoulder System and its related instruments by analysis of standard scoring systems, radiographs and adverse event records.
