Filter by:We have developed an exercise protocol that we plan to evaluate in a future randomized controlled trial in combination with a corticosteroid injection. In accordance with the MRC Framework of Complex Interventions, which reccomends stepwise development of interventions and testing of feasibility before applying them to a trial, we aim to evaluate the feasibility of our intervention before initiating further trials. The purpose of this non-randomized feasibility study is to test the feasibility and acceptability of this exercise protocol with addition of a corticosteroid injection with no aim of evaluating effects. All participants in this study will receive the following interventions: - An ultrasound-guided corticosteroid injection superficial to the insertion of the gluteus medius and minimus tendons on the greater trochanter of the hip. - A home exercise program including 3 exercises, scalable to 3 different difficulty levels. - A patient information leaflet containing relevant information on managing lateral hip pain.
Adhesive capsulitis (AC) is often self-limited but can persist for years and may never fully resolve. The most effective treatment for adhesive capsulitis is uncertain till date. Though neural links are being studied on one side and postural alteration too was postulated to cause shoulder pathology. However, the effectiveness of C5-C6 and thoracic spine mobilization with postural correction remains unexplored in the treatment of AC. This study aimed to investigate whether C5-C6 and thoracic spine mobilization with postural correction are more effective than conventional therapy in pain, range of motion(ROM), and disability in patients with AC. The outcome of the study must provide valid information to enhance the prognostic value of adhesive capsulitis.
To compare the effects of spencer and reverse distraction technique in patients with adhesive capsulitis
Adhesive capsulitis is a common musculoskeletal condition. Painful gradual loss of both active and passive gleno-humeral motion resulting from progressive fibrosis and ultimate contracture of the gleno-humeral joint capsule.Scapular position and movement perception both effected by shoulder adhesive capsulitis, change in the scapular kinematics in the form of an increase in scapular lateral rotation, and reduced joint sense for shoulder movements in adhesive capsulitis. Physiotherapists have a wide range of options in managing Adhesive capsulitis including Electrotherapeutic modalities, kaltenborn mobilization, Maitland's mobilization,Mulligan's mobilization and Manipulation. So far studies have shown the efficacy of different treatments in combination or in isolation.Few studies on proprioception in rotator cuff tear, sub acromial impingment syndrome, but no obseved effects of scapular mobilization on shoulder proprioception in patients with adhesive capsulitis.Physical therapist focus on lowering pain and ROM limitations in the shoulder,but often neglect to evaluate proprioception/joint position sense as well as the roleof scapula in adhesive capsulitis during treatment.If found effective,this study can help in probviding treatment protocols for improving proprioception in patients with adhesive capsulits.
In this study, among the patients who applied to the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation outpatient clinic of Muğla Training and Research Hospital and were diagnosed with subacromial impingement by anamnesis and clinical tests, inclusion criteria) and exclusion criteria will be included in the study. Demographic data of the patients will then be recorded. DASH (Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand) and Constant Murley scores will be calculated. 4 years of musculoskeletal ultrasound experience will be recorded by a radiologist using ultrasound (Siemens® V8, LA2-14A probe) in modified Crass position (positioning with the palm of the examined side on the posterior iliac wing) by measuring subacromial bursa thickness, supraspinatus tendon thickness, acromiohumeral distance, supraspinatus tendon thickness/acromiohumeral distance ratio. Demographic data of the patients will then be recorded. DASH (Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand) and Constant Murley scores will be calculated.
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.
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.
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.
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.
