View clinical trials related to Shoulder Lesions.
Filter by:Problems related to the shoulder are frequently seen in the society. Many methods are used to evaluate these problems. One of the most frequently used methods is self-report scales. When the shoulder-oriented self-report scales in the literature are examined, methods such as Visual Analog Scale, Numeric Scale and Likert Scale are used more frequently. In the literature, there is no scale that seeks clear answers as yes/no by grading shoulder-oriented activities. We would like to contribute to the literature by developing a scale that uses such a scaling method. All of the shoulder-oriented self-report scales used in Turkey were developed by cultural adaptation. In our study, it was aimed to develop an easy-to-understand scale that includes items with high social intelligibility and offers a new scaling method.
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.
