View clinical trials related to Rotator Cuff Tendinitis.
Filter by:Rotator cuff tendonitis (RCT) is one of the most common shoulder pathologies, causing pain, limitation of shoulder joint movements, and impaired function. Patient education, medical treatment, corticosteroid injections, physiotherapy rehabilitation approaches are the most common treatment options applied to alleviate the symptoms of RCT. Despite these various treatment methods, there are currently no specific guidelines regarding the most appropriate and effective intervention for RCT treatment. This is mainly because adequate, high-quality studies are lacking in RCT management. To the best of our knowledge, no studies have evaluated the effects of Kinesio Taping (KT), which has become a popular approach in recent years, and Cold Therapy (CT), which has often been used as a therapeutic agent since immemorial, on individuals with RCT. In this regard, this study aimed to investigate and compare the short-term effects of KT and CT on pain and upper extremity functionality in individuals with RCT.
The purpose of this study is to explore the effect of extracorporeal shock wave combined with autologous platelet-rich plasma injection on the rehabilitation of rotator cuff calcific tendinitis, to provide new treatment methods and evidence for the rehabilitation of rotator cuff calcific tendinitis, and to reduce patients; pain and return to normal life as soon as possible.
The purpose of this research study is to determine if the effectiveness of a single injection of CTM Boost in the treatment of patients with rotator cuff tendinopathy (RCT) is as effective as a single injection of platelet rich plasma (PRP) in reducing the symptoms of RCT.
This is a randomized controlled trial in which patients with moderate to severe shoulder pain (Visual Analog Scale (VAS) > 40), in the setting of rotator cuff tendinopathy refractory to conservative treatment, will be enrolled. The primary aim of the study is to estimate the effect of transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) with physical therapy (PT) vs PT alone on the change in shoulder pain at 12-month follow up. Scientific objectives also include an assessment of safety of the intervention, assessment of changes in Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Upper Extremity score, Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) scores, MRI Tendinopathy Score between the TAE + PT and PT groups.
The goal of this study is to investigate the effect of telerehabilitation in patients with rotator cuff tendinopathy. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Is telerehabilitation effective in improving the functional status of patients with rotator cuff tendinopathy? - Is telerehabilitation effective in reducing the pain of rotator cuff patients?
Introduction: Shoulder disorders are a common musculoskeletal problem causing pain and functional loss in different populations. Tendinopathies are a group of pathologies commonly diagnosed in patients with shoulder pain. Weakness of the rotator cuff musculature has already been documented in other studies, evidence in the literature suggests that patients with tendinopathies demonstrate decreased muscle activation, this is caused by pain, changes in nervous system processing and apparently also by structural processes that occur in the tendon .Treatment often involves resistance, isometric exercises aimed at altering pain and restoring function. Some studies have been investigating the use of ENMS (neuromuscular electrical stimulation) in patients undergoing surgical procedures on the shoulder, other studies have also investigated its use in tendinopathies of the lower limbs, as an effective way to decrease inhibition. Objective: The main objective of this study will be to analyze the muscle strength of internal and external rotation of symptomatic shoulders compared to asymptomatic ones when exposed to neuromuscular electrostimulation, associating muscle strength with joint function. Methodology: This will be a cross-sectional study. An expected total of 48 subjects will be divided into two groups, n=24 with tendinopathy of the rotator cuff, confirmed by clinical diagnosis and nuclear magnetic resonance imaging, the other group being healthy individuals, with no history of shoulder pain. These individuals will be evaluated by a first evaluator who will perform the eligibility of the subjects and collect the initial information, the second evaluator will perform the isometric strength evaluation with a manual dynamometer. Two batteries of tests will be performed in both groups, a conventional assessment of isometric strength and the other subject will be submitted to neuromuscular electrostimulation. These strength values in Kgf were normalized for each individual, being divided by the body mass index (BMI) and multiplied by 100, as already performed in previous studies. Expected results: The initial hypothesis is that patients who present with the studied condition when submitted to the strength test with muscular electrostimulation will demonstrate greater isometric strength than when they were tested without the device.
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.
Rotator Cuff Syndrome is a commonly encountered musculoskeletal disorder in clinical practice, with an incidence ranging from 0.3% to 5.5%, and an annual prevalence of 0.5% to 7.4%. In addition, over time, with a monthly rate of 0.26%, this condition can progress to complete rotator cuff tendon injury resulting in worsening pain and shoulder function. The etiology of Rotator Cuff Syndrome is still controversial. What the investigators know is that in tendinopathies there are histological changes in the structure of the tendons, resulting in a change in the mechanical properties of the tendons and leading to a chronic often disabling pain condition. Although conservative therapy should still be considered the first choice in cuff tendinopathies, The clinical results of the various types of nonsurgical treatments are still mixed and often show poor efficacy. This explains the growing interest of the scientific community in developing new biological therapies that can both improve shoulder function and promote tendon healing. The aim of the study is to evaluate, through the Constant Murley Score (CMS), the performance of intra-articular treatment with a collagen-based medical device (MD-Shoulder Collagen Medical Device) in recovering joint function and reducing pain in Rotator Cuff Syndrome.
The primary goal of the study is to assess ultrasonographic Power Doppler signals after ultrasound-guided puncture and lavage of rotator cuff calcific tendinitis of the shoulder. Secondary outcomes are sonographic features like the course of residual calcific material and the course of tendon healing als well as the clinical symptoms of the patient.
This randomized controlled trial will compare the mid- and long-term effects of group-based training programs with usual individual physiotherapy care for the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders in military. One hundred and twenty soldiers presenting one of the four targeted musculoskeletal disorders (low back pain, rotator cuff related pain, patellofemoral pain syndrome or lateral ankle sprain) will be recruited and randomly assigned to either a 12-weeks group-based training program or 12-weeks usual individual physiotherapy care.
