Filter by:The purpose of this study was to translate and culturally adapt the MSQ to Turkish language and test the validity and reliability of Turkish version of MSQ in shoulder dysfunction patients. And also, the ultimate goal was to facilitate international researches in shoulder problems as well as to serve the physicians for their clinical practice.
This study is to see if applying red and violet low level laser light to the neck and shoulders can help to reduce pain in the neck and shoulders.
In this study assessing whether platelet rich plasma injections(PRP) are effective in the management hemiplegic shoulder pain, 55 patients with hemiplegic shoulder pain was recruited to this randomized controlled study. Patients were randomized into two groups, first getting PRP injections, and other group taking sham injections.
This is a phase IV , randomized, single-blind, single-center study comparing patient related outcomes such as postoperative pain and opioid usage for patients who receive ISB 's containing liposomal bupivacaine (Exparel®) plus 0.5% bupivacaine HCL versus 0.5% bupivacaine HCL undergoing total shoulder arthroplasty. The objective of this study is to compare opioid utilization and pain management of patients who receive Exparel in an ISB vs standard 0.5% bupivacaine HCL during the initial 72 --- hour post --- operative period. Additionally, to understand the duration of block after addition of Exparel® to bupivacaine in an Interscalene block after TSA.
The aim of this study is to determine the factors that may be associated with night pain in patients diagnosed with rotator cuff syndrome by clinical and magnetic resonance imaging.
Rotator cuff related shoulder pain (RCRSP) is the most common shoulder disorder and its chronicization leads to multiple consequences such as early retirement, absenteeism from work, decreased participation and quality of life and expensive yearly healthcare costs (128 739 687 $ according to CNESST). Even though scientific evidence has shown that prioritising physiotherapy exercises over surgery for the initial management of RCRSP is a great way to save on healthcare costs without compromising quality, it does not always result in a resolution of symptoms and patients' quality of life can still be affected thereafter: up to 30% of people with RCRSP remain symptomatic despite rehabilitation interventions. This lack of therapeutic success could be explained by a multitude of factors, but a central issue that can explain a lack of improvement is an inappropriate dosage or choice of exercises prescribed. The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of 3 non-operative methods of delivering shoulder management (2 types of exercises and an advice and education only group) on symptoms and functional limitations for people with RCRSP. Results from this project should help us further our knowledge on which non-operative treatment to promote with patients presenting with RCRSP, thus decreasing the proportion of individuals experiencing pain even after going through a rehabilitation program.
Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder (HSD) is a recent diagnosis that covers generalised joint hypermobility with one or more secondary symptomatic musculoskeletal manifestations. Current clinical management of this population with shoulder symptoms is based on limited evidence and includes a combination of non-specific physiotherapy modalities and exercise prescription. There is some evidence suggesting that strength training may be valuable for treatment of this patient-group. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a heavy shoulder strengthening exercise programme in patients with HSD and shoulder symptoms.
While thoracic epidural could control incisional pain after thoracotomy, an excruciating ipsilateral shoulder pain happens post thoracotomy and could affect up to 85% of thoracotomy patients. It is often difficult to manage and relatively resistant to opioids. The investigators postulate that in the presence of a functioning thoracic epidural, intrapleural bupivacaine administered through the chest tube could be effective in reducing post thoracotomy ipsilateral shoulder pain.
The current opioid epidemic has led to a renewed interest in exploring non-pharmacological techniques to treat post-operative pain. An increasing number of patients are suffering from the adverse effects of opioid use following surgery, including post-operative nausea and vomiting, respiratory depression, immunosuppression, constipation, and most recently, addiction. In the United States, over $600 billion is spent every year on opioid addiction, including $79 billion related to opioid addiction following surgery. Despite many initiatives to decrease the use of opiates in the preoperative setting, opioids continue to be regularly prescribed before, during and after surgery. Although the risk of opioid addiction following surgery is recognized, the percentage of patients becoming addicted to opioids following surgery is not well understood. To date, there has been virtually no agreement regarding the duration and dosage that qualify for opioid dependence following surgery, nor that a clear estimation of the factors such as biological, psychosocial and socioeconomic that increase the risk of using opioids for extended periods of time after surgery. The interscalene block is the gold standard for postoperative pain management following shoulder surgery. However, the duration of the block does not cover rehabilitation, and in most cases, patients are discharged from the hospital with an opioid prescription. Therefore, there is a growing need to investigate complementary pain-management methods that offer a non-pharmacological solution to managing post-operative pain. Auriculotherapy is such a technique that has been shown in previous studies to provide significant analgesia without the adverse effects of opioids or other pain-relieving medications. Auriculotherapy has been shown to reduce the need for opioid immediately after surgery. However, everyone agrees that more research is needed, especially due to the concern of the placebo effect when using a needle and electro-stimulation. This study is purposely based on the use of a cryopuntor device, which has been shown to produce the same effect as needles. This is a novel complementary approach to reducing the persistence of opioid prescription following rotator cuff surgery, which is considered a model of severe functional pain. Data obtained from this study will support a future NIDA proposal to expand the use of auriculotherapy for perioperative management of pain and functional recovery associated with surgery. The use of an auriculotherapy approach has the potential of providing effective non-opioid analgesia to patients not only undergoing rotator cuff surgery, but also other surgical models.
