Filter by:Pain neuroscience education (PNE) aims to explain to patients the biological and physiological processes involved in a pain experience and, more importantly, defocus the issues associated with the anatomical structures. It has been demonstrated for musculoskeletal pain, PNE provides compelling evidence in reducing pain, disability, pain catastrophization, and limited physical movement. Rotator cuff tears (RCT) often lead to pain aggrevation, deterioration of patients' functioning and considerable economic burden for health care resources requiring consultations, physiotherapy, radiological examinations and surgery. Despite costly arthroscopic surgeries and long-term physiotherapy treatments, satisfactory results are scarce. The lack of satisfactory results at the end of all this effort suggests that some practices should be revised. Although PNE is likely to have beneficial effects on shoulder pathomechanics, to our knowledge, there is no randomized controlled research in the relevant literature investigating the effects of PNE in patients with an RCT. The present study aims to examine the effectiveness of PNE on clinical outcomes in a sample of patients with RCT.
It is aimed to compare in the early period the clinical and ultrasonographic findings in terms of the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided subacromial bursa injection with corticosteroid and ultrasound-guided lavage, which are the treatment options available in the literature for patients with calcific tendinitis who do not respond to conservative treatment.
Background: This study aimed to the postoperative patients with newly diagnosed head and neck Cancer. The nurse-led counselling and after intervention improved shoulder pain, Shoulder Disability, and Quality of Life., before 2 weeks radical neck dissection and at postoperative 2, 4, 8, and 12 weeks. Methods：Participants were identified for eligibility from the otorhinolaryngology outpatient department of a medical center in eastern Taiwan. The data of 40 patients were collected between Aug 1, 2017, and Jul 31, 2018. 40 participants were randomly assigned to an experimental (n = 20) and a control group (n = 20). The experimental group received the nurse counselling and after intervention exercise intervention , and the control group received usual care. Study tools used were the shoulder pain and disability indices, University of Washington Quality of Life Questionnaire.
This study aimed to determine the psychosocial effects of exercise training in patients with rotator cuff tears.
This study was carried out to determine the effect of placing the semi-recumbent position in reducing pain in patients who developed shoulder pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. HO: The application of the semi-recumbent position to patients who develop shoulder pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy has no effect on reducing pain. H1: The application of semi-recumbent position in patients who develop shoulder pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy has an effect on reducing pain.
Various local anesthetic volumes are used in the literature for anterior suprascapular nerve block (ASSB). There are different studies between 15 ml and 5 ml. Effective local anesthetic volume studies for ASSB have not yet been performed. Our study is aimed to investigate the minimum effective local anesthetic volume for ASSB.
The aim of this study is to identify factors for shoulder instability in people with Facioscapulohumeral dystrophy (FSHD). FSHD is a non-life limiting condition with symptoms presenting in the second decade of life (Evangelista et al., 2016). Between 2500 to 3000 people are diagnosed with FSHD in the UK and it is the third most common dystrophy. The overall prevalence is 1: 20,000 and on average 52 people are newly diagnosed with FSHD each year (Emery, 1991; Padberg et al., 1995; UK, 2020) As the disease progresses, patients lose the ability to adequately control muscles around the shoulder girdle, possibly contributing to the development of shoulder instability i.e. partial or complete dislocation of the shoulder joint (Bergsma, Cup, Geurts, & De Groot, 2015; Bergsma, Cup, Janssen, Geurts, & de Groot, 2017; Mul et al., 2016). Loss of control around the shoulder is also thought to contribute to pain and a reduced capacity to perform tasks above shoulder height. Additionally, the development of fatigue and chronic pain further limit patient's abilities and engagement with rehabilitation. If we better understand the mechanisms associated with instability, we can better target physiotherapy interventions to improve rehabilitation. If we identify specific patterns of activity associated with instability, these could be addressed through personalised and improved exercise prescription and rehabilitation. Additionally, we may identify causes of instability for which physiotherapy or exercise programmes may not be appropriate, therefore ensuring patients are referred to the correct service in a timely manner, improving patient outcomes and allocating resources more appropriately.
To evaluate the effectiveness of ultrasound guided Erector Spinae Plane Block (ESPB) in controlling post thoracotomy ipsilateral shoulder pain.
Digital therapy may provides real time visual feedbacks. Instrumented devices objectively quantify the patient's performance during rehabilitation and thus could be helpful for the personalization of the exercises. The interactive ball of this trial allows measuring both movement and pressure applied on it. Therefore, the objectives of this study are: (i) to evaluate whether the use of a novel digital therapy gaming system was therapeutically relevant during shoulder rehabilitation; (ii) to understand whether the device was effective in improving patients' engagement in comparison to a control non-gaming rehabilitation program.
The Purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate the feasibility of open wide-field imaging of indocyanine green ingress and egress during total shoulder arthroplasty. This study also hopes to characterize the relationship between tissue perfusion measured with DCE-FI and different approaches and techniques used in total shoulder arthroplasty. The long term goal of this study is to determine if there is a potential relationship between perfusion and patient reported outcomes and subscapularis failure.
