Filter by:This study was done to investigate whether platelet rich plasma(PRP) injections are effective in the management of adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder(AC).Patients were randomized to 2 groups, and one group took PRP injections for 3 times every two weeks, while the other group took saline injections in same frequency and volume. A standardized exercise programme was also applied to all patients. Patients were then evaluated with Shoulder Pain and Disability Index(SPADI), Visual analogous scales for pain and disability, Ranges of Movements and use of analgesics in before, after and 3rd month of the therapy.
Adhesive capsulitis is an idiopathic disease characterized by a decrease in the volume of the glenoid capsule, the development of fibrosis and a progressive decrease in the range of joint movement with pain. Shoulder pain and stiffness are accompanied by disability. The purpose of the study is to evaluate and compare the effects of high-intensity laser therapy on pain, disease - related disability and quality of life in patients with shoulder restriction and pain due to adhesive capsulitis.
This study was to investigate the reliability and validity of the smartphone goniometer app to measure shoulder ROM in a modified position for patients with frozen shoulder, and compare the intervention effect and adherence to home exercise between the smartphone and traditional paper hangouts.
This study is to investigate whether combination of ultrasound-guided subdeltoidcorticosteroid injection and physiotherapy is more effective than either treatment alone in treatment of patients with chronic subacromial (or subdeltoid) bursitis (SAB).
Those shoulder patients who fulfill inclusion criteria are divided into two groups. Supervised exercises will be performed by both groups. Kaltenborn mobilization will be applied to patient in experimental group only. Assessment will be done on baseline, 7th and post visit. A total 38 subjects were included in study who met inclusion criteria. Number of patients in both groups was 19.
Greater Trochanteric Pain syndrome (GTPS) is a debilitating condition causing pain on the outside of the hip. This study aims to explore the experiences, beliefs and expectations of patients with GTPS, using semi-structured interviews.
Adhesive capsulitis, also known as frozen shoulder (FS), is a condition characterized by the functional restriction of both active and passive shoulder motion with unremarkable glenohumeral joint radiographs findings. Shoulder pain almost exists during the whole course of frozen shoulder. Pain induces muscle spasm and causes pain-spasm-pain cycle resulting in limited range of motion, changed muscle recruitment pattern and finally influences neuromuscular control. Commonly used conservative interventions for FS patients include joint mobilization, corticosteroid injection, exercise, modality and soft tissue mobilization. Despite joint mobilization is the most commonly used manual therapy in patients with FS, the evidence level is weak and the efficacy is not superior to other conservative treatments. Soft tissue mobilization is widely used in lots of musculoskeletal conditions. The effects of soft tissue mobilization include breaking the adhesion tissue and improving range of motion, muscle strength and motor control. However, few studies have investigated the effect of soft tissue mobilization in patients with frozen shoulder. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate and compare the effect of soft tissue biased manual therapy and conventional physical therapy in patients with primary FS.
This study was conducted to compare the efficacy of hydrodilatation with steroid via posterior approach versus rotator interval approach for treating patients with adhesive capsulitis.
The investigators aim to compare the effect of ultrasound-guided suprascapular nerve block and intra-articular corticosteroid injection for frozen shoulder in pain control, improvement of range of motion, quality of life, and function.
We will recruit a total of 40 patients from the Vanderbilt Sports Medicine Clinics who have been diagnosed with adhesive capsulitis and have not undergone any previous treatment. The 40 patients will be randomized, with 20 in the control group of 3 intra-articular injections of 40mg Methylprednisolone spaced every two weeks, and 20 in the experimental group of 3 intra-articular injection of 50mg doxycycline spaced every two weeks. Both groups will begin a standardized physical therapy program within a pain-free range of motion 4 weeks after the initiation of treatment. We will prospectively follow patients for one year, with follow-up at 6 weeks, 12 weeks, 6 months, and 12 months after the initiation of treatment. Outcomes will be measured using the American Shoulder and Elbow Score (ASES) and objective measurements of shoulder range of motion, which will be collected by the treating physician. Both the patients and physicians participating in the study will be blinded.
