Parkinson's disease was first described in history in 1817 by James Parkinson in his monograph "An essay on swinging palsy", and today it is the 2nd most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's, affecting approximately 6.1 million people. Its main histopathological feature is the decrease in dopaminergic secretion in the basal ganglia and there are three cardinal findings: Bradykinesia, Tremor, Rigidity. Although joint and skeletal deformities are seen in approximately 70% of Parkinson's patients, they are not adequately evaluated and cause significant functional disability and chronic pain, independent of motor symptoms.Musculoskeletal pathologies seen in Parkinson's patients can be classified as: musculoskeletal pain, articular problems, postural problems and bone mineralization defects. The shoulder girdle is a joint with complex and delicate function, consisting of four joints (glenohumeral, sternoclavicular, acromioclavicular and scapulothoracic), supporting muscles and periarticular ligaments, which seriously affects the patient's quality of daily life and function. Although magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the best imaging tool in the diagnosis of musculoskeletal system pathologies, it is quite sensitive to artifact-forming motion. Ultrasound (US) imaging is widely used in the evaluation of rotator cuff muscles, biceps muscle and glenohumeral joint pathologies and has many advantages over MRI, such as providing fast, cheap and dynamic imaging. Although many studies have proven that shoulder girdle musculoskeletal pathologies such as bicipital tendinitis, m.supraspinatus tendinosis, subacromial/subdeltoid bursitis, subacromial impingement syndrome, and adhesive capsulitis are seen more frequently in Parkinson's patients by ultrasonographic imaging, these shoulder girdle pathologies seen in Parkinson's patients are more common. The risk factors for pathologies have not been defined. In this study, we aimed to determine the ultrasonographic findings and risk factors of shoulder pathologies in Parkinson's patients and to investigate the effects of shoulder pathologies on quality of daily life, physical activity, falls and balance.
Brief Summary The aim of this randomized controlled study is to reveal the short-term effects of physical and social factors in different therapeutic environments on patients with rotator cuff related shoulder pain following the same exercise program. The main questions it aims answer are: - Is there any difference in terms of pain levels among groups with rotator cuff related shoulder pain who treated in different therapeutic settings. - Is there any difference in terms of functionality and self-efficacy among groups with rotator cuff related shoulder pain who treated in different therapeutic settings.
Goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether Isometric muscle training decrease pain improve function and enhance performance. Does Isometric exercise improve pain function and performance in bowlers? Researcher will compare the Isometric muscle training with Traditional therapy to examine that isometric exercise work on pain function and performance. Participants will receive isometric exercises for three days in week and will be followed up after two weeks total four weeks of trial(experimental group). Participants will receive traditional physical therapy treatment three days of week and followed up after two weeks total four weeks of trail (contril group)
Patients in the block group will be placed in a lateral position with the operated shoulder on top before awakening from surgery. After ensuring aseptic conditions (the block site will be wiped three times with 10% povidone-iodine), the linear ultrasound probe will be covered in a sterile manner. While performing the block, the Hitachi brand linear ultrasound probe will be placed parallel to the scapular spine on the surgical side and will be slid medially. After imaging the 2nd and 3rd ribs on the medial side of the scapular spine, the block needle will be advanced under ultrasound guidance onto the 3rd rib. After contacting the rib with the needle, it will be retracted by 1mm, and the block site will be confirmed by injecting sterile 0.9% NaCl. Subsequently, patients will be administered 30ml of 0.25% bupivacaine in a controlled manner. Before awakening, both the block group and the non-block group will be administered 1g of paracetamol and 1mg/kg of tramadol intravenously. In the postoperative period, these patients will be provided with multimodal analgesia, including intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) with 4mg/ml Tramadol HCl in 100ml NaCl. There will be no basal infusion, with bolus doses of 20mg and a lockout period of 20 minutes, and a total dose limitation of 200mg over 4 hours. Patients will be visited at 0, 1, 6, 12, and 24 hours, and they will be asked to draw their visual analog scale (VAS) score on a paper scale. The amount of opioid used in the PCA and the need for rescue analgesia (Arveles 50mg intravenously) will be assessed. Patients will routinely receive 4x1g paracetamol in the postoperative period.
This study was planned as a randomized controlled clinical trial to determine the effect of 4-7-8 breathing technique on shoulder pain and pulmonary function tests after laporoscopic cholecystectomy. A sample of 96 patients will be randomly assigned to the study and control groups. The study group will be administered the 4-7-8 breathing technique after LK, while the control group will be given routine care of the ward. Shoulder pain and pulmonary function tests will be measured in the first 24 hours and at discharge. The data obtained will be analyzed by appropriate statistical methods.
RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of muscle preliminary contraction in the rehabilitation and prevention of degenerative pain in the spine, hip, knee, ankle, shoulder, elbow, and ankle joints, as well as after hip and knee arthroplasty. HYPOTHESIS: Muscle preliminary contraction has a significant short-term and long-term effect in the rehabilitation and prevention of degenerative pain in the spine, hip, knee, ankle, shoulder, elbow, and ankle joints, as well as after hip and knee arthroplasty. RESEARCH METHODS: At least 216 patients with degenerative pain in the spine, hip, knee, ankle, shoulder, elbow, and ankle joints, as well as after hip and knee arthroplasty, will be studied. They will be randomized into pairwise sub-groups. All will receive standard advice. The maneuver sub¬groups will receive additional advice - preliminary contraction of the muscles in the corresponding kinesiology segment. This advice will be embedded in all motor activities of daily living involving the relevant area. The following follow-up parameters will be used: visual analogue pain scale, manual muscle testing, goniometry, centimeter, and preliminary contraction success rate. Their follow-up will be threefold - at the beginning, after 1, and after 6 months. For statistical processing, multiple analysis of variance (MANOVA), with post hoc Bonferroni multiple tests, and Pearson correlation analysis, with post hoc regression analysis, will be used. CONCLUSION: The positive results will allow the preliminary muscle contraction to be used as a universal tool in the rehabilitation, prevention, and prevention of degenerative pain in the spine, hip, knee, ankle, shoulder, elbow, and ankle joints, as well as after hip and knee arthroplasty (international contribution). This maneuver is very short (seconds), easy (everybody can perform it), does not require the allocation of time, space, and resources (including financial ones), and is instantly incorporated into everyday life.
The present study aims to investigate the effectiveness of oral supplementation with a nutraceutical containing Collagen, Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin C, and Manganese in functional outcome and pain reduction in cases of shoulder rotator cuff tendinopathy compared to a cycle of intra-articular hyaluronic acid injections. The project involves the recruitment of 50 adult individuals presenting with shoulder pain and instrumental evidence of rotator cuff tendinopathy. All participants will receive one intra-articular injection of 1 ml of triamcinolone acetonide 40 mg. After the injection, participants will be divided into two groups according to Good Clinical Practice guidelines. One group will begin taking one vial per day for 56 days of an oral supplement containing Hyaluronic Acid, Collagen, Vitamin C, and Manganese (HA-COL) (Tendogenial®, B2Pharma) starting from the day following enrollment (Group 1). The other group will undergo a cycle of 3 intra-articular injections with hyaluronic acid (HA) (Hyalotend®, Fidia) (Group 2). The hypothesis is that oral supplementation with HA-COL may have the same efficacy as intra-articular hyaluronic acid treatment in reducing pain and improving shoulder functionality. Functional assessments will be conducted by a clinician unaware of the participants' group assignment. The following assessment scales will be used: Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) for pain (from 0 to 10), evaluating 3 aspects of pain: 1) pain at rest, 2) nocturnal pain, 3) pain during movement. Shoulder Disability Questionnaire (SDQ) for functionality. Assessments will be conducted at the following time points: T0) Before the administration of corticosteroid intra-articular injection (baseline). T1) Seven days after the start of HA-COL intake for Group 1 and before the first intra-articular HA injection for Group 2 (T1, seven days from T0). T2) At mid-cycle of oral HA-COL supplementation for Group 1 (28 days of intake) and seven days after the last HA injection for Group 2 (T2, 21 days from T1). T3) Follow-up at 28 days from T2, at the end of the 56-day oral treatment cycle for Group 1, and 28 days after the last injection for Group 2 (T3, 56 days from T0).
This study aims to investigate the effects of Pregabalin intake on shoulder pain management in patients with central sensitization undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Although Pregabalin is known to be effective in controlling pain after shoulder arthroscopy, research on its efficacy in pain management for patients with central sensitization is scarce. Utilizing a list that identifies central sensitization, this study will explore whether Pregabalin can reduce postoperative pain in these patients and potentially improve joint mobility, emotional, and physical functioning. A prospective randomized study is planned, with inclusion criteria set for patients aged between 19 and 70 who have undergone arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. The study will compare clinical outcomes up to one year postoperatively between two groups of 38 patients each. The case group will receive standard postoperative medications (NSAIDs) plus Pregabalin oral intake from the day before surgery to six weeks postoperatively, while the control group will receive only the standard postoperative medications without Pregabalin.
Myofascial pain can be diagnosed by the presence of one or more myofascial trigger points (MTrPs), defined as hyperirritable spots in taut bands of skeletal muscle fibers palpable by hand. The treatment of myofascial pain primarily relies on the inactivation of MTrPs, often through manual pressure techniques or dry needling. In manual pressure techniques, the physiotherapist applies increasing pressure directly to the MTrP. In dry needling, acupuncture-like filiform needles are applied to the same point. There are two types of dry needling: superficial dry needling, which penetrates only the skin and superficial muscle, and deep dry needling, which involves inserting a needle directly into the MTrP. The sole or adjunct effectiveness of dry needling treatment targeting the trapezius and infraspinatus muscles has been investigated, particularly in patients with shoulder myofascial pain syndrome. In the study we are planning, a double-blinded efficacy trial will be conducted in patients with shoulder myofascial pain syndrome, where real and sham dry needling applications will be performed under ultrasound guidance, with both the patient and the evaluator blinded. This study design has the potential to make a significant contribution to the literature in this field.
