Filter by:The purpose of this study is to compare how accurately a pseudo-telehealth shoulder examination diagnoses rotator cuff tears compared to a regular clinical examination. MRI is used as the gold standard.
The aim of this study is to determine the factors that may be associated with night pain in patients diagnosed with rotator cuff syndrome by clinical and magnetic resonance imaging.
Rotator cuff related shoulder pain (RCRSP) is the most common shoulder disorder and its chronicization leads to multiple consequences such as early retirement, absenteeism from work, decreased participation and quality of life and expensive yearly healthcare costs (128 739 687 $ according to CNESST). Even though scientific evidence has shown that prioritising physiotherapy exercises over surgery for the initial management of RCRSP is a great way to save on healthcare costs without compromising quality, it does not always result in a resolution of symptoms and patients' quality of life can still be affected thereafter: up to 30% of people with RCRSP remain symptomatic despite rehabilitation interventions. This lack of therapeutic success could be explained by a multitude of factors, but a central issue that can explain a lack of improvement is an inappropriate dosage or choice of exercises prescribed. The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of 3 non-operative methods of delivering shoulder management (2 types of exercises and an advice and education only group) on symptoms and functional limitations for people with RCRSP. Results from this project should help us further our knowledge on which non-operative treatment to promote with patients presenting with RCRSP, thus decreasing the proportion of individuals experiencing pain even after going through a rehabilitation program.
This study is to analyse whether there is a difference in clinical and radiological outcomes between single row and double row repair techniques for the treatment of shoulder's rotator cuff tears.
This document is a protocol for a human research study. This study is to be conducted according to United States standards of Good Clinical Practice in accordance with applicable Federal regulations and institutional research policies and procedures. Liposomal bupivacaine (LB) has been shown to decrease post-operative pain and narcotic use when administered perioperatively as a local injection during arthroplasty procedures. Studies have also demonstrated that LB used in conjunction with dexamethasone may increase the duration of effectiveness of LB. This study seeks to evaluate if there is a difference in post-operative pain and narcotic use when LB is administered in an interscalene block during outpatient rotator cuff repair surgery. Furthermore, this study aims to determine if the addition of dexamethasone with LB results in a prolonged decrease in post-operative pain and a reduction in narcotic use.
This is a randomized, single blinded, standard of care controlled clinical trial. This project aims to compare postoperative pain control in patients in two treatment arms of rotator cuff repair: a treatment group given a nonopioid pain control regimen, and a standard of care control group given standard opioid pain control regimen
The aim of this study was to clarify the effectiveness of physiotherapeutic intervention through the TENS or MENS in conjunction with kinesiotherapy in patients with partial thickness rotator cuff tear.
Supraspinatus tendonitis is a common clinical problem that causes functional and labor disabilities. It is the most frequent cause of shoulder pain. Manual therapy is a common intervention used by physical therapist for management of supraspinatus tendonitis. Joint mobilization, stretching and strengthening exercises are commonly used techniques for management of this condition. In this study KT will be added to conventional manual therapy and its efficacy will be investigated. The study design will be Randomized Clinical Trial (RCT) that will be used to compare the effects of KT added to manual therapy for management of supraspinatus tendonitis. 38 patients will be participate in this study who will be assigned randomly (biased coin method) to experimental and control groups (19+19). The data collection will be carried out at Railway Hospital Rawalpindi. Patients with shoulder pain at rest and positive for special tests (Neer's, Empty Can, Drop Arm, Hawkin's Kennedy) will be included in this study. There is no restriction on gender and age group will be between 25 and 60 years. Patients with cervical post op, referred pain, open wounds, allergic to KT and with signs of radiculopathy will be excluded from this study. Pre and post treatment evaluation will be done using Visual Analog Scale (VAS), Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) and goniometry. Data will be collected on 1st day, 4th day and 7th day for both groups. After data collection is completed, SPSS will be used to analyze the collected data
To assess the efficacy of interscalene liposomal bupivacaine in controlling postoperative pain scores, oral morphine equivalents and sleep quality after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair surgery as compared to interscalene catheter.
Aim of the study was to compare the effectiveness of Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) exercises and Shoulder Mobilization (SM) on pain, range of motion (ROM), functionality, and muscle strength in patients with Subacromial Impingement Syndrome (SIS). Patients received 20 sessions (for 4 weeks) under the supervision of a physiotherapist. Patients were evaluated at baseline, at week two, at week four, and at week sixteen.
