NCT ID: NCT06192459 Recruiting - Rotator Cuff Tears Clinical Trials

Effect of the Muscle Strength and Range of Motion Training for Post-platelet Rich Plasma Injection in People With Rotator Cuff Partial Tear

Start date: October 6, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Background: Although it is known that Platelet-Rich Plasma injections have a remarkable pain relief effect for patients with partial tears of the rotator cuff in the shoulder joint, many patients still experience limited muscle strength and joint mobility recovery. Patients often inquire about post-Platelet-Rich Plasma injection rehabilitation and precautions. Therefore, it is necessary to design a comprehensive post-injection rehabilitation and training plan to improve the quality of treatment. However, previous literature on post-Platelet-Rich Plasma injection treatment seems to have inconsistent rehabilitation plans. One major reason for this inconsistency might be the lack of sufficient evidence or unclear rehabilitation effectiveness, leading to poor patient compliance. The underlying cause of these issues is the absence of a standardized and effective rehabilitation plan. Hence, it is essential to develop a standardized rehabilitation plan to enhance treatment effectiveness. Method: The investigators designed a non-blinded, randomized, crossover trial to observe the potential benefits of muscle strength and joint mobility rehabilitation intervention one month after PRP injection treatment for patients with partial tears of the rotator cuff. Patients were randomly divided into two groups. One group received only standard physical therapy (magneto-therapy, low-energy laser, electrotherapy, etc.), while the other group underwent muscle strength and joint mobility training in addition to standard physical therapy. There were three assessment time points: pre-assessment (one week after Platelet-Rich Plasma injection), after the first stage of treatment (three weeks of rehabilitation training + standard physical therapy/standard physical therapy following the first Platelet-Rich Plasma injection treatment), and after the second stage of treatment (three weeks of rehabilitation training + standard physical therapy/standard physical therapy following the second Platelet-Rich Plasma injection treatment). The assessment methods included quantifying muscle strength using a hand-held dynamometer (Manual Muscle Test) and measuring three shoulder joint angles (abduction, external rotation, internal rotation). The Shoulder Pain and Disability Index recorded changes and progress in each value at different treatment stages. Analysis: A repeated-measures Analysis of Variance model was used to analyze the trial's effects and correlations. We also analyzed whether the dose-effect existed concerning the use of time/frequency.

NCT ID: NCT06156423 Recruiting - Rotator Cuff Tears Clinical Trials

Investigation of the Effect of Motor Control Exercises in Patients Undergoing Rotator Cuff Surgery

Start date: September 10, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The aim of the study is to examine the effect of motor control exercises given through telerehabilitation on shoulder function and quality of life in patients undergoing rotator cuff surgery.

NCT ID: NCT06088667 Recruiting - Rotator Cuff Tears Clinical Trials

Fascial Release After Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair

Start date: July 15, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) is a popular treatment method that can be used for myofascial restriction and fascial release. IASTM is used to reduce pain in the area where the pathology is located, increase range of motion (ROM), improve movement function and provide a mobilizing effect. When the literature was examined, no study was found examining the effectiveness of the IASTM technique, which is known to require less effort and stimulate healing compared to manual interventions, in the rehabilitation period after rotator cuff arthroscopic surgery. Therefore, our study aimed to examine the effects of instrument-assisted fascial mobilization given in addition to conventional rehabilitation on long-term pain, function, joint range of motion, fear of movement, and daily living activities in patients who have passed 4 weeks after rotator cuff arthroscopic surgery and are candidates for rehabilitation.

NCT ID: NCT06076902 Recruiting - Rotator Cuff Tears Clinical Trials

Patch Study (Patch-augmented Rotator Cuff Repair)

Start date: April 6, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This single-center, prospective, randomized controlled study will compare patients allocated to two treatment arms who are undergoing surgery to repair rotator cuff tears: (1) arthroscopic rotator cuff reconstruction using fixation with anchors augmented with a synthetic polyester patch, and (2) arthroscopic rotator cuff reconstruction using fixation with anchors and no augmentation with a synthetic polyester patch. The primary objective is to compare complications (primarily retear rates) and the secondary objective is to compare mid- and long-term clinical and radiological outcomes using standard orthopedic assessments, such as the subjective shoulder value and the Constant-Murley score.

NCT ID: NCT06055478 Recruiting - Rotator Cuff Tears Clinical Trials

Effect of Suprascapular Nerve Block and Axillary Nerve Block After Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair

Start date: September 25, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this clinical trial is to verify the effect of suprascapular nerve block and axillary nerve block in relieving postoperative pain after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Are there differences in visual analog pain scale and patient's satisfaction? Are there differences in mean plasma pain related cytokines? The participants will undergo preemptive ultrasound guided suprascapular nerve block and axillary nerve block using each 0.75% ropivacaine 10mL or each 0.9% saline 10mL.

NCT ID: NCT05988541 Recruiting - Rotator Cuff Tears Clinical Trials

Rotator Cuff Integrity and Clinical Outcomes 5 Years After Repair.

Start date: October 3, 2023
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The study gives an overview of surgically treated rotator cuff injury patients in Tartu University Hospital Sports Traumatology Centre during 2013-2019 and evaluates the integrity of rotator cuff at minimum 5 years after atraumatic rotator cuff tendon repair. First stage of the study describes the study population, etiology of the injury (traumatic/atraumatic) and aims to answer the question whether the arthroscopic findings are in line with the preoperative imaging studies or not. Second stage of the study focuses on atraumatic tendon tears assessing structural integrity of the tendons 5 years after repair using ultrasound imaging. The main question is - does the findings correlate with clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction. Participants of the second phase of the study will be asked for an appointment to have their shoulders examined with ultrasonography and clinical outcomes are measured using the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) Score, The Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH) questionnaire and The Constant-Murley score (CMS).

Specifically, the researchers will be comparing the re-tear rate, patient reported outcomes, shoulder strength, range of motion, muscle activation, in-vivo biomechanics, and other radiographic outcomes using x-ray and MRI.

NCT ID: NCT05946343 Recruiting - Shoulder Pain Clinical Trials

Rotator Cuff Tear Severity and Scapular and Rotator Cuff Muscle Activation Patterns

Start date: July 15, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Rotator cuff tears are common musculoskeletal injuries that can lead to altered scapular and rotator cuff muscle activation patterns and reduced function. This study aims to investigate the relationship between rotator cuff tear severity and scapular and rotator cuff muscle activation patterns. The primary objective of this study is to determine whether a relationship exists between the severity of rotator cuff tears and the activation patterns of scapular and rotator cuff muscles. Secondary objectives include: 1. Identifying differences in muscle activation patterns between varying tear sizes. 2. Evaluating the potential of these activation patterns as an indicator for the severity of rotator cuff tears. 3. Assessing the influence of muscle activation patterns on the functional capacity of the affected shoulder.
