The HIPS-study will be an observer blinded, single-centre, parallel-group randomized controlled trial (RCT). The main purpose of the study is: 1. To investigate the clinical effectiveness of a self- management program versus usual care for patients with greater trochanteric pain syndrome (GTPS). - H0: There is no difference between a self-management program and usual care on pain and function in patients with GTPS. - H1: There is a difference between a self-management program and usual care on pain and function in patients with GTPS. 2. To investigate if self-management is more cost-effective than usual care in the treatment of patients with GTPS. Participants will be randomly allocated into one of two groups: 1) self-management program or 2) usual care. Follow-up will be at 3-, 6- and 12-months.
The aim of this randomized controlled study is to investigate if the sequential administration of focused shock wave therapy and of a rehabilitation program based on the strengthening of gluteal muscles is more effective than a standard shock wave treatment for greater trochanteric pain syndrome
Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome (GTPS) is characterized by lateral hip pain, pain radiating to the lateral leg, tenderness and rotation around the greater trochanter, and pain with specific activities such as abduction or adduction. GTPS is primarily diagnosed clinically. Conservative treatment for GTPS includes activity modification, physiotherapy, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, local corticosteroids, and platelet-rich plasma injections. Particularly, regional muscle sensitivity, such as in the gluteus maximus, is prominent. In recent years, dry needling therapy, which has gained popularity and increased research attention, has become an alternative treatment option, especially if the underlying cause is myofascial pain syndrome or deeper issues like piriformis syndrome. The provided text discusses dry needling as a treatment for various neuromusculoskeletal pain conditions, emphasizing its use as a minimally invasive procedure that involves applying filiform needles to the relevant muscle tissue without the administration of pharmacological drugs. The literature suggests that dry needling therapy has the ability to induce biochemical, biomechanical, endocrinological, and neurovascular changes associated with the reduction of pain and disability in individuals. However, the optimal treatment dosage has not yet been determined, and there is inconsistency in the literature regarding the number of needles to be inserted and the duration of needle retention. Studies evaluating the effectiveness of dry needling are often designed to compare or add it to other injection therapies. Additionally, there is a limited number of studies conducted with real-time imaging. In the planned study, the use of ultrasound-guided dry needling aims to provide a sham application opportunity, where the patient is blinded to the nature of the procedure, allowing for a meaningful investigation of efficacy. This aspect of the study is expected to contribute significantly to the literature.
Frozen shoulder remains a challenging disease to treat as pain and loss of range of motion can persist for many months or even years. This loss of function can have a severe impact on the patient's activities, participation and overall quality of life. The use of ultrasound-guided (USG) suprascapular nerve blocks (SSNB) and/or intra-articular corticoid injections (IACI) has been supported by many studies. However, double blinded randomized clinical trials using a combination of SSNB and IACI are rare. The primary objective of this study is to compare the effectiveness of a glenohumeral IACI combined with a SSNB, compared to a glenohumeral IACI combined with a sham SSNB. Outcome measures of interest are shoulder-related disability reported by the patients, shoulder pain and shoulder stiffness. These outcome parameters will be compared between both treatment arms with an intention-to-treat analysis. As key secondary objectives, the investigators aim to identify which physical examination tests, or combinations of those, are correlated with MRI diagnostic criteria and favor a more positive evolution. Finally, through predictive analysis the investigators will try to establish which patients benefit the most from the combined SSNB + IACI.
Shoulder issues in middle-aged and elderly folks often stem from muscle and tendon degeneration, causing pain and limited movement. Current treatments like corticosteroid injections provide short-term relief for synovial bursitis, prompting repetitive injections. Combining these injections with resistance exercises, especially elastic bands, might extend relief. A study aims to test this by giving injections and a 12-week elastic band exercise program to one group, compared to injections alone in another. Assessments at 12 and 26 weeks post-injection will measure pain, motion, and functionality. Successful results could redefine treatment, reducing repetitive injections and enhancing life quality for those with shoulder problems.
The goal of this study is to detect if there is an additional benefit to performing ultrasound-guided hydrorelease of the coracohumeral ligament in patients with adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder receiving ultrasound-guided hydrodilatation.
This study will be conducted to examine and compare the effects of SM versus SPNF on shoulder pain, ROM and functional disabilities in patients with frozen shoulder.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of virtual reality based exercises and conventional physical therapy on shoulder pain, mobility, functional ability and quality of life in adhesive capsulitis and to investigate whether it is superior to the control group.
The study will be a Randomized Clinical Trial set to take place at the Department of Physical Therapy, University of Lahore Teaching Hospital, Defence Road, Lahore. It is projected to span 9 months, beginning after the approval of the synopsis. The calculated sample size, utilizing Visual Analogue Scale as an outcome measure with a 20% dropout consideration, will be 34 in each group. Ethical approval from the Research Ethical Committee will be sought, and participant referrals will be facilitated by orthopedic physicians. Eligibility screening will be carried out, and willing participants will be randomized into Experimental and Comparative groups using a lottery method. The study will maintain single-blinding, with assessors remaining unaware of group allocation.
