Filter by:Background: Chronic shoulder pain (CSP) is a musculoskeletal disease characterized by pain lasting more than 3 months. Purpose: This study aimed to determine whether pre-treatment injection in CSP treatment contributes to pain, functionality and quality of life. Methods: A total of 110 patients who met the inclusion criteria of the study were divided into 2 groups (55 patients in each group). A standard 15-session physical therapy program (hot pack, transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation(TENS), US and therapeutic exercises) was applied to all patients in both groups. Suprascapular Nerve Block was applied to Group I before treatment. Assessments were made using VAS-Pain, Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) and The Nottingham Health Profile (NHP) before and at the end of the treatment and in the posttreatment 3th months.
In the study that was conducted from 05.01.2009 - 31.12.2012. 120 patients were examined. By drawing random numbers, the patients were randomized into 3 groups for postoperative analgesia: 1. Diclofenac 2 mg/kg/day - control, 2. Wound infiltration via wound catheter with catheter tip placed in the axilla, 3*0.5 mg/kg 0.5% levobupivacaine bolus dose. 3. 0.05 mg/kg/h 0.5% levobupivacaine continuously via wound infiltration catheter with catheter tip placed in the axilla. The drug was delivered using a PCA pump for 24 hours. The aim was to compare early postoperative outcomes - pain control on a visual analog scale of 1-10, hand grip strength, and quality of life after surgery and after 1 year. Long-term survival was examined subsequently, from the hospital register.
The aim of the study is to evaluate the effects of active dry needling (aDN) in the treatment of myofascial trigger points of the infraspinatus muscle (MTP). For this purpose, this technique was compared to placebo dry needling (pDN) for short-term pain relief and increased glenohumeral internal rotation range. The second objective is to explore whether improvements in perceived pain and functional capacity correlate with changes in electromyographic activity.
Aim of This study is to compare between the effect of ultrasound-guided local injection of Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)versus Hyaluronic (HA) for the treatment of chronic shoulder pain.
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of biostimulating, analgesic and noninvasive high intensity laser therapy on pain, functionality and quality of life in patients with chronic shoulder pain. Participants between the ages of 18-75 and without any cognitive, communication and psychiatric problems were included in the study. Patients were randomized into two groups and both received conventional physiotherapy and rehabilitation program for 3 weeks, 5 sessions a week. The treatment program applied was as followed; the control Group (n = 25): conventional physiotherapy and study Group (n = 25): conventional physiotherapy and High-intensity Laser Therapy (HILT). Upper extremity range of motion was evaluated with 'goniometer', pain threshold with 'algometer, muscle strength with 'myometer'; disability status with 'The Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH)'.
This is a single-center, prospective, randomised, controlled study, with two parallel groups, designed to assess the clinical impact of a digital exercise program against conventional rehabilitation for shoulder tendonitis. The hypothesis is that all the clinical outcomes measured will significantly improve after the program, and patients using this novel system will attain at least the same outcomes than the ones attained by the conventional PT group.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of the intensity of Isometric Contraction of shoulder external rotators, comparing the effect of a high-level IC (80% maximal voluntary isometric contraction) versus a low-level Isometric Contraction (20% maximal voluntary isometric contraction) on pain intensity, pain thresholds, and function in chronic pain shoulder patients.
Up to 77% of patients with chronic shoulder pain have a trigger point (TrP) in the infraspinatus muscle. These TrPs can lead to pain, limitation of activities and reduced quality of life. Dry needling (DN) is gaining popularity as a treatment for TrPs in physiotherapy. However, its clinical effects remain poorly understood mechanistically and its neurophysiological effects little studied. The primary objective of this study is to determine the feasibility of a larger scale study. The secondary objective of this study is to to explore the immediate neurophysiological, biomechanical and clinical effects of DN and sham needling when applied to TrP of the infraspinatus muscle in people with chronic non-traumatic shoulder pain.
The objective of this study is to examine the relationship between symptoms of central sensitization (CS) and important cognitive behavioral and psychosocial factors in patients with chronic shoulder pain.
