Filter by:Different treatment options are available for massive or irreparable rotator cuff tears. An arthroscopic or an open repair approach is possible in the majority of cases and functional outcomes are improved, particularly when a complete arthroscopic repair can be achieved. However, the healing rate of massive rotator cuff tears after repair may remain low and failure of healing is associated with progression of arthritis. An alternative to arthroscopic or open repair is reverse shoulder arthroplasty which decreases pain and improves function, active shoulder elevation and quality of life. The primary goal of this prospective multicentric randomized study is to determine if there is a difference of functional outcomes between rotator cuff repair (RCR) repair and reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA).
The FIMAGE-Trauma study is an extension of the FIMAGE study and aims to answer the question if rotator cuff tears found on shoulder imaging after a shoulder injury are caused by the index trauma or are rather incidental findings. Eligible participants of the FIMAGE study will be invited to a follow up visit in the case of a shoulder injury or a sudden onset of significant shoulder symptoms (within a 2-year time frame). These findings will then be compared to the baseline data collected in the FIMAGE study (including the comparison of pre-injury and post-injury MRI:s)
This study is a prospective randomized controlled study of Combined microfracture procedure promotes tendon healing during double raw repair for full tear rotator cuff. The patients with rotator cuff tear were randomly divided into groups before the operation. The patients were followed up before and 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months after surgery. In different time periods, the quantitative and qualitative indicators including pain, functional score, muscle strength, MRI performance, etc. were compared between groups at the same time period to evaluate the difference in the effect of Crimson duvet procedure with Greenhouse procedure on the treatment of rotator cuff.
The purpuse of this study is to asses if the pulsed radiofrecuency of the supraescapular nerve and accesory nerve have the same or superior efectivity controlling the acute postoperative pain than interscalenic braquial plexus block
The purpose of this study is: 1) to identify relevant treatment outcomes for people with massive rotator cuff tears of the shoulder joint, according to the experience of the affected people, to facilitate treatment shared decision-making during the specialist consultation in Spain; 2) to compare the effectiveness of conservative treatment, arthroscopic decompressive surgery and reverse prosthesis, in terms of patient's relevant outcomes and health-related quality of life.
The goal of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the benefits from adding multimedia animations to a paper-based therapeutic exercise program in subjects with rotator cuff related shoulder pain. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Does subjects improve more regarding shoulder disability and pain? - Are the subjects more satisfied with the treatment received? - Do the subjects adhere more to the exercise program? - Do the subjects perform better the trained exercises? - Do the subjects have greater expectations with the treatment received? Participants will perform a therapeutic exercise program within 6 months. Researchers will compare the addition of web-app animations to the classical paper-based information.
Purpose of the study: This study compares effects of isometric, concentric and eccentric exercises for shoulder muscles by using low load blood flow restriction training on pain, strength and function in patients with SIS.
The study is a multicenter, retrospective and prospective, non-randomized, noncontrolled, and consecutive series post-market study. The purpose of this study is collect data confirming safety, performance and clinical benefits of the Quattro® X Suture Anchor with BroadBand™ Tape and Instruments when used in rotator cuff repair. The primary endpoint of this study is the assessment of performance by analyzing soft tissue to bone healing in the shoulder (rotator cuff). Healing will be assessed by the investigator using PROMs and clinical outcomes of the patient. The clinical benefit will be assessed by functional outcomes measured using standard and well-established scoring systems (e.g. Constant & Murley and EQ-5D-5L) at 1 year post-operative. The safety will be assessed by monitoring the incidence and frequency of device- and/or procedure-related adverse events.
Shoulder pain is a common musculoskeletal system complaint, accounting for 7-34% of patients in the clinic. The most common shoulder problem is subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS). Up to 45% of individuals with SIS may have unsuccessful treatment and still complain of symptoms after 2 years. This chronicity of pain may not be fully explained by structural injuries or damage, but may be related to sensorimotor changes. Decreased corticospinal excitability and increase inhibition have been found in individuals with SIS. These central motor changes may link to alteration in pain and nociception processing and the somatosensory system, which has been found in individuals with low back pain. Hyperalgesia has been found over both affected and unaffected shoulders in patients with SIS, indicating central and peripheral sensitization. However, no study has investigated whether there are changes in the central somatosensory system. Therefore, the objectives of this proposal are (1) to investigate the corticomotor and somatosensory system in patients with SIS (2) to investigate the relationship between the corticomotor and somatosensory alterations in patients with SIS. Subjects with chronic SIS and healthy subjects were recruited, with 32 people in each group. Electroencephalography (EEG) will be used to collect somatosensory activity, including somatosensory evoked potentials, spectral analysis of EEG oscillations and event-related spectral perturbation (ERSP) of the shoulder movement. Electromyography will be used to record muscle activity. Transcranial magnetic stimulation will be used to test corticomotor excitability, including active motor threshold, motor evoked potentials, cortical silent period, and intracortical inhibition and facilitation. The pressure pain threshold will be collected by a pressure algometer on the muscles of bilateral arms and legs. Pain intensity will be assessed with the Numeric Rating Scale. Shoulder function will be evaluated with the Disability of Arm, Shoulder and Hand questionnaire. Depression will be evaluated with Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D).
The goal of this clinical trial is to test whether there is any effect on rotator cuff healing by making microfracture at the lateral side of the footprint. The main question it aims to answer are: - [whether the lateralized microfracture could decrease the retear rate after arthroscopy rotator cuff repair.] - [whether the lateralized microfracture could improve the functional recovery after arthroscopy rotator cuff repair.] Participants with medium to larger size rotator cuff tears will be randomly assigned to the study group treated with lateralized microfracture immediately after arthroscopy rotator cuff repair or the control group treated with conventional arthroscopy rotator cuff repair without microfracture.
