Filter by:This study aims, by means of a randomized control trial, to investigate which treatment method (corticoid injection + physiotherapy with a focus on manual therapy and home-exercises versus corticosteroid injection + physiotherapy with focus on education and supported home exercises) gives better results on clinically relevant outcomes (range of glenohumeral motion, psychological factors, pain, shoulder function, quality of life) and on parameters derived from arthroscopic glenohumeral investigation by means of MRI. Furthermore, associations between (1) the results on the MRI investigation, (2) the range of glenohumeral motion, (3) shoulder function and pain, and (4) psychological factors will be assessed at different time-points (before and at 6-12-18 and 52 weeks after the first injection).
This study will investigate the potential effects of platelet rich plasma for the treatment of persistent medial knee pain after total knee arthroplasty. All study participants will receive PRP injections and will be followed up to see if any benefit in regards to pain and/or function is achieved.
The aim of this study is to observe the changes in the combined ESWT application and physiotherapy program in the frozen shoulder pathology associated with diabetes. Different treatment approaches will try to identify the most effective treatment method. Changes in muscle tone, pain, range of motion and functionallity will be observed with ESWT treatment. For the first time placebo-controlled research is being conducted with different doses of ESWT in our country and in the World literature. In this way the lower floor of the further work to be done will be established.
This study evaluates the addition of translational manipulation under interscalene block, to a course of orthopaedic manual physical therapy for treatment of adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder. Half the patients will receive a translational manipulation under interscalene block, plus 6 sessions of orthopaedic manual physical therapy. The other half will receive 7 sessions of physical therapy. The investigators hypothesize that the translational manipulation under interscalene block will provide additional benefit beyond the effect of in-clinic orthopaedic manual physical therapy alone.
This study aims to evaluate physical therapy (standard of care) and home exercise vs. home exercise alone for the treatment of adhesive capsulitis.
Steroid injections are widely utilized to reduce inflammation and fibrosis in patients with the frozen shoulder. In this study, investigators will compare intra-articular steroid injections with direct coracohumeral ligament steroid injection to conventional intra-articular steroid injection. Investigators will measure the primary outcome as shoulder function improvement and secondary outcomes as ROM, pain scale and stiffness of coracohumeral ligament under elastogram.
The efficacy of manual therapy and therapeutic exercise in patients suffering from adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder will be studied. Furthermore, different biomechanic and psychosocial factors will be measured with a nine month follow-up
Patients presenting with subacute, less than 6 months of evolution, adhesive capsulitis are randomly attributed to the control or study group. Both groups receive a series of 3 suprascapular nerve blocks under ultrasound guidance with either 5ml saline or 5ml ropivacaine 2mg/ml ( ref) at 1 week interval. Testing consists of glenohumeral range of motion (ROM) (anterior elevation, lateral elevation, external and internal rotation) measured by goniometer, Constant score and visual analog scale (VAS) pain score. Evaluations are done immediately before and one hour after every suprascapular block and at 4 weeks after the third suprascapular block. All suprascapular nerve blocks are performed by one physician and the evaluations are done by a occupational therapist or MD experienced in glenohumeral function evaluations. All practitioners are blinded to the assigned group. All patients continue their pre-study treatment of physiotherapy and per os pain medication. Patients keep a record of analgesics and NSAID use during the trial. Drop-out rate is measured.
The overall objective of this trial is to explore the dose-tolerance (safety) and dose-response (efficacy) of single 3-minute intra-bursal perfusions of a physiological saline solution at increasing temperatures.
This study was conducted to compare the efficacy of hydrodilatation with hyaluronic acid under ultrasonographic guidance plus physical therapy (PT) with that of PT alone for treating adhesive capsulitis.
