Filter by:The purpose of this investigation is to evaluate the safety and superior effectiveness in functional improvement in patients with partial-thickness rotator cuff tears (PTRCTs) after the administration of a single injection of adipose-derived regenerative cells (ADRCs) into the partial-thickness rotator cuff tear compared to the administration of a single corticosteroid injection into the associated subacromial space.
Shoulder pain accounts for 16% of all musculoskeletal complaints in the healthy adult population. Subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS) is the most common cause of shoulder pain. Many patients with chronic pain from subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS) will fail treatment efforts and have longstanding pain. This project will evaluate the efficacy of a novel approach to treatment, percutaneous peripheral nerve stimulation, for participants with chronic shoulder pain due to subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS).
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
Multicentric prospective clinical and radiological comparative study of consecutive patients with irreparable rotator cuff tears to test the hypothesis that there are significant differences in the improvement of the clinical and imaging outcomes of arthroscopic superior capsular reconstruction (ASCR) when a different type of graft is used.
The goal of this project is to perform a randomized, double-blinded study investigating postoperative pain after arthroscopic rotator cuff using hyperosmolar saline as opposed to lactated ringer's solution (normal osmolarity) as arthroscopy irrigation solutions. Hyperosmolar saline is an irrigation solution with a higher concentration of solutes that will be used intraoperatively to washout the surgical field. It will be used in place of lactated ringer's solution, which has an osmolarity comparable to that of normal saline. This study will help determine whether or not postoperative pain from rotator cuff repair can be mitigated by altering the osmolarity of the intraoperative irrigation solution. This knowledge is significant because the postoperative pain can be intense, so much so that patients may depend on narcotics for pain relief. Consequently, this study may provide benefit by helping to find new ways to minimize the need for narcotics. The main hypothesis of this is study is that hyperosmolar saline will reduce perceived pain and narcotic use in the postoperative period.
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.
Demonstrate that REGENETEN is superior to standard repair techniques when surgically treating high-grade (>50%) partial-thickness tears because REGENETEN preserves more of the native tendon footprint resulting in less postoperative pain and faster recovery.
The purpose of this study is to examine the difference in perioperative pain after shoulder surgery with a standard bupivacaine nerve block compared to liposomal bupivacaine enhanced nerve block alone in TSA and ARCR. Data will be compared using VAS scores and opiate consumption between the two groups. The hypothesis of this study is that an interscalene nerve block with liposomal bupivacaine will decrease both postoperative VAS pain scores and total narcotic consumption when compared to a standard bupivacaine interscalene nerve block alone.
The primary objective of this study is to compare outcomes between formal clinic based physical therapy (PT) rehabilitation and surgeon directed home therapy (HT) after reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) as measured by pain, range of motion, Single Assessment Numerical Evaluation (SANE), and American Shoulder and Elbow Surgery (ASES) scores at 6 weeks, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months postoperatively. The secondary objective of this study is to determine if PT rehabilitation following RSA is associated with a higher level of postoperative complications, specifically acromial stress fractures or dislocation. This information will be useful to discern if PT is effective in providing pain relief more quickly, as well as improved motion and self-reported functional outcomes following RSA, which can assist surgeons and rehabilitation specialists in designing optimal care plans for this patient population. The project will also help to clarify if PT services place patients who have RSA at higher risk for acromial stress fractures or dislocation.
