Filter by:This study was planned to investigate the acute effects of fascia technique on pain, range of motion, upper extremity functional level, and kinesiophobia in individuals with arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.Thirty volunteers with an arthroscopic rotator cuff repair were included to study. The individuals were randomly divided into two groups. While hot pack, interferential current and exercise program were applied to the classical physiotherapy group, the fascial release technique was applied to the treatment group in addition to the classical physiotherapy program for 2 weeks with 2 sessions per week. Individuals were assessed for pain severity by using Visual Analog Scale, range of motion by goniometer, functional level by SPADI, kinesiophobia by Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale before and after treatment and satisfaction level by using Visual Analogue Scale after treatment.
Suprascapular nerve block (SSNB) is most commonly used for relieving postoperative pain of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair and it can be used in combination with axillary nerve block (ANB). Dexmedetomidine (DEX) is known as a type of alpha agonist which can elongate the duration of regional block. The aim of this study was to compare the results of dexmedetomidine combined with SSNB and ANB with SSNB and ANB alone on postoperative pain, satisfaction, and pain-related cytokines within the first 48 hours after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Forty patients with rotator cuff tears who had undergone arthroscopic rotator cuff repair were enrolled in this single center, double-blinded randomized controlled trial study. Twenty patients were randomly allocated to group 1 and received ultrasound-guided SSNB and ANB using each mixture of 0.5 ml (50 μg) of DEX and 9.5 ml of 0.75% ropivacaine preemptively. The other 20 patients were allocated to group 2 and underwent ultrasound-guided SSNB and ANB alone using a mixture of 0.5 ml of normal saline and 9.5 ml of ropivacaine. The visual analog scale (VAS) for pain and patient satisfaction (SAT) scores were checked within 48 h postoperatively. The plasma interleukin (IL)-6, -8,-1β, cortisol, and serotonin levels were also measured within 48 h postoperatively.
