Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study is to determine the effects of high intensity laser therapy (HILT) in patients with subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS). This study aims to compare the effects of HILT alone and HILT and therapeutic exercise combination on shoulder pain, ROM, joint position sense (JPS), muscle strength and function.The investigators hypothesized that shoulder pain, ROM, JPS, muscle strength and functionality would improve with both treatments but that HILT combined with exercise would result in better outcomes than HILT alone.


Clinical Trial Description

30 patients with SIS will be randomized into two groups. Pain intensity will be assessed with visual analogue scale (VAS), pain-free and normal range of motion (ROM) with goniometer, joint position sense (JPS) with inclinometer, muscle strenght with hand-held dynamometer, and shoulder functionality with Constant Murley Score (CMS) and Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) in a pretest-posttest design. HILT Group (n=15) will receive only HILT for 10 sessions, 3 days a week on alternate days. HILT& Exercise Group (n=15) will receive exercise treatment in addition to HILT for the same duration of time. ;
