Filter by:This research project aims to test if systematic (extensive) use of patient-reported outcomes across treatment boundaries can 1. improve patients' and health professionals' understanding of individual patients' conditions and health changes, 2. improve indications for treatment, 3. strengthen patient empowerment, and 4. reduce patients' utilization of health services. The study will be performed in the particular context of patients with chronic degenerative conditions of the shoulder. These patients are characterized by contact with numerous health professionals from different health sectors, such as general practitioner, physiotherapists and surgical referral centres, which challenges coherence and communication for the individual treatment decisions. The research project will be performed as a randomized controlled trial (RCT) with a 1-year inclusion period and two years of follow-up.
In this study, among the patients who applied to the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation outpatient clinic of Muğla Training and Research Hospital and were diagnosed with subacromial impingement by anamnesis and clinical tests, inclusion criteria) and exclusion criteria will be included in the study. Demographic data of the patients will then be recorded. DASH (Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand) and Constant Murley scores will be calculated. 4 years of musculoskeletal ultrasound experience will be recorded by a radiologist using ultrasound (Siemens® V8, LA2-14A probe) in modified Crass position (positioning with the palm of the examined side on the posterior iliac wing) by measuring subacromial bursa thickness, supraspinatus tendon thickness, acromiohumeral distance, supraspinatus tendon thickness/acromiohumeral distance ratio. Demographic data of the patients will then be recorded. DASH (Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand) and Constant Murley scores will be calculated.
Shoulder issues in middle-aged and elderly folks often stem from muscle and tendon degeneration, causing pain and limited movement. Current treatments like corticosteroid injections provide short-term relief for synovial bursitis, prompting repetitive injections. Combining these injections with resistance exercises, especially elastic bands, might extend relief. A study aims to test this by giving injections and a 12-week elastic band exercise program to one group, compared to injections alone in another. Assessments at 12 and 26 weeks post-injection will measure pain, motion, and functionality. Successful results could redefine treatment, reducing repetitive injections and enhancing life quality for those with shoulder problems.
The glenohumeral joint is an articulation between the glenoid of the scapula and the head of the humerus that is enclosed by a synovial capsule divided into three main components: anterior, posterior, and the axillary pouch. Symptoms of posterior capsule tightness are linked to altered shoulder biomechanics and impairments which includes glenohumeral internal rotation deficit, incomplete glenohumeral adduction, impaired inferior glenohumeral ligament (IGHL) function, and increased risk of impingement symptoms. In the literature the two techniques available for stretching posterior capsule are pragmatic posterior capsular stretch and sleeper stretch. Pragmatic posterior capsular stretch is therapist administered and sleeper stretch is patient-administered. The work on the pragmatic posterior capsular stretch is more specified and rational to mark the tightness in the posterior capsule.
Shoulder pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints in orthopedic practice. Rotator cuff injuries account for up to 70% of pain in the shoulder girdle. There is no clinical study carried out in Brazil comparing cost effectiveness between the open and arthroscopic methods of rotator cuff repair surgery. The present study aims to determine which method of repair of the rotator cuff, open or arthroscopic, has the best cost effectiveness ratio. A randomized clinical trial will be carried out in which patients with symptomatic rotator cuff lesion will be submitted to repair surgery by either open or arthroscopic technique and will be subsequently evaluated.
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).
To evaluate functional, clinical, and subjective parameters in patients with rotator cuff syndrome and bursitis treated with Traumeel® S injections versus corticosteroid injections and versus placebo. 160 patients are planned to be randomised (i.e., 64 patients per active treatment group and 32 patients in the placebo group) in 9 investigator sites in Germany, Belgium and Spain. Finally 176 patients have been randomized (73 Traumeel, 67 Fortecortin and 36 Placebo) and 175 of them received at least one dosage of treatment
Many patients experience an effect of steroid injection, however the effect is often short lasting and recurrence of symptoms is common. The short term effect of injection has been shown to be much better than exercise therapy; however over time the superior effect of injection compared to exercise does not last. Injection in combination with exercise therapy might be a more sufficient therapy than injection alone. The aim of this study is to investigate a combination of steroid injection and a 10 week exercise program. In addition, the study tests the validity of clinical impingement tests using ultrasound verified impingement as gold standard.
