View clinical trials related to Subacromial Impingement Syndrome.
Filter by:Shoulder impingement syndrome (SIS) is responsible for 44% to 60% of medical consultations related to shoulder pain with an approximate prevalence of 70-200 per 1000 adults, which implies a remarkable use of health care resources. The cost for society is high and patients with shoulder disorders account for 20% of all disability due to musculoskeletal disorder. The underlying mechanisms are thought to include inflammation, degeneration of the tendons or bursa, dysfunctional scapulothoracic and glenohumeral mechanics, debilitated scapular musculature, joint capsule irregularities, postural abnormalities of the neck and shoulder, and morphological abnormalities of the relevant skeletal elements. There is a need for well-designed structured exercise program in detail considering content, dosage and progression to guide treatment for patients with sub acromial pain. The purpose of this study is to develop and validate a structured exercise protocol and to assess its effectiveness in patients with sub-acromial impingement syndrome. Through the extensive literature review, the exercise program would be proposed. In Phase 1, We will develop and validate a structured exercise programs for sub acromial impingement syndrome using an expert consensus Delphi-based survey technique. In phase 2, a randomized controlled trial will be conducted. Group A (Experimental Group) will receive newly structured exercises for twelve weeks and Group B (control group) will receive conventional exercise program for 12 weeks. Evaluation of the participant will be done at the baseline using Constant Murley Score, shoulder pain and disability Index (SPADI). Shoulder range of motion, shoulder muscles extensibility will be assessed and scapulothoracic ratio will be calculated and documented. T-FAST test will be conducted to score the patients functional performance. Assessment will be done at baseline, 3, 6, 9, and 12 weeks in both the groups. At the end of the study the data will be collected, coded and tabulated using descriptive and inferential statistics.
Introduction: Shoulder disorders are a common musculoskeletal problem causing pain and functional loss in different populations. Tendinopathies are a group of pathologies commonly diagnosed in patients with shoulder pain. Weakness of the rotator cuff musculature has already been documented in other studies, evidence in the literature suggests that patients with tendinopathies demonstrate decreased muscle activation, this is caused by pain, changes in nervous system processing and apparently also by structural processes that occur in the tendon .Treatment often involves resistance, isometric exercises aimed at altering pain and restoring function. Some studies have been investigating the use of ENMS (neuromuscular electrical stimulation) in patients undergoing surgical procedures on the shoulder, other studies have also investigated its use in tendinopathies of the lower limbs, as an effective way to decrease inhibition. Objective: The main objective of this study will be to analyze the muscle strength of internal and external rotation of symptomatic shoulders compared to asymptomatic ones when exposed to neuromuscular electrostimulation, associating muscle strength with joint function. Methodology: This will be a cross-sectional study. An expected total of 48 subjects will be divided into two groups, n=24 with tendinopathy of the rotator cuff, confirmed by clinical diagnosis and nuclear magnetic resonance imaging, the other group being healthy individuals, with no history of shoulder pain. These individuals will be evaluated by a first evaluator who will perform the eligibility of the subjects and collect the initial information, the second evaluator will perform the isometric strength evaluation with a manual dynamometer. Two batteries of tests will be performed in both groups, a conventional assessment of isometric strength and the other subject will be submitted to neuromuscular electrostimulation. These strength values in Kgf were normalized for each individual, being divided by the body mass index (BMI) and multiplied by 100, as already performed in previous studies. Expected results: The initial hypothesis is that patients who present with the studied condition when submitted to the strength test with muscular electrostimulation will demonstrate greater isometric strength than when they were tested without the device.
Rotator cuff tendinopathy, also called subbracromial impingement syndrome, is one of the most important causes of anterior shoulder pain. Although exercise training is known as an effective intervention method in the treatment of rotator cuff/subacromial impingement problems, there is no definite consensus on which type of exercise is more effective. The aim of this study is to analyze and compare the effects of the Heavy Slow Resistance (HSR) training and eccentric exercise training on pain, function, supraspinatus tendon structure, muscle strength, range of motion, subjective perception of improvement and treatment satisfaction in individuals with subacromial shoulder pain associated with rotator cuff tendinopathy.
This randomized clinical trial aims to compare the efficacy of corticosteroid injection and tendon dry needling for the treatment of subacromial impingement syndrome.
Shoulder pain is highly prevalent within general population, and shoulder impingement syndrome (SIS) is a common cause of shoulder pain. A small number of clinical and methodologically diverse trials have been published recently which show little evidence to support or refute the use of acupuncture for shoulder pain. Some researchers concluded, there is a need for further well-designed clinical trials. Our aim in this study is to investigate the effect of acupuncture treatment on pain, range of motion, functionality and quality of life in patients diagnosed with Subacromial Impingement Syndrome as a result of clinical and radiological tests.
