Filter by:This study aimed to determine the distribution of pain sensitivity according to body segments in patients with central sensitization associated with chronic subacromial pain syndrome (SPS).This cross-sectional study included patients with chronic SPS and central sensitization (patient group) and the same number of healthy participants as controls. The presence of central sensitization was determined using the Central Sensitization Inventory. To determine the segmental distribution of pain sensitivity, pressure pain threshold measurements were performed bilaterally from the shoulder, forearm, and leg.
The COPAIN study is comprised of three studies; a cross-sectional study (study 1), a prospective study (study 2) and a randomized controlled trial (study 3). Study 3 is described in detail in a separate protocol (the SELECT trial protocol) and is not described in further detail here.
Subacromial pain syndrome (SIS) is a common cause of shoulder pain, estimated to be the cause for up to half of incident cases. Typically, pain is generated with elevation of the arm above the head though it can occur with rest in patients with SIS.There is evidence of central sensitization in those who experience chronic shoulder pain from SIS. Central sensitization is an augmentation of the nociceptive pathways of the central nervous system that is characterized by local and generalized lowered pain thresholds and an exaggerated pain response to painful and non painful stimulation.Mobilization with movement (MWM) technic is a kind of manual therapy and it is often used by clinicians for the treatment of musculoskeletal diseases. Usually manual therapy is used for its peripheral effects, however it also produces central analgesic effects activating descending anti-nociceptive pathways for a short period of time (30 - 35 mins.). Some speculate that repeated sessions of manual therapy may result in a long term activation of descending anti-nociceptive pathways. However, there is no evidence of this mechanism available yet. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the effect of MWM on central sensitization (primary aim) and shoulder functions (secondary aim) in patients with SIS.
Shoulder pain is one of the most prevalent and disabling musculoskeletal condition. A new diagnostic terminology used to describe shoulder pain is rotator cuff-related shoulder pain (RCRSP), as histological findings were similar in many of shoulder condition such as; subacromial impingement syndrome, subacromial pain syndrome and rotator cuff tendinopathy The objectives was to find the effectiveness of single exercise into pain program versus Shoulder Symptom Modification Procedure (SSMP) with early tendon loading, Heavy Slow Resistance exercise in patients with rotator cuff-related shoulder pain. The investigators will conducted a randomized clinical trail in out patient physiotherapy department at Thumbay hospitals Ajman, in patients with rotator cuff-related shoulder pain . After meeting the inclusion criteria, participants were randomized into Single exercises into pain program (SEP) (intervention group) or Shoulder Symptom Modification Procedure (SSMP) with early tendon loading, Heavy Slow Resistance exercise program (control group). A 13 weeks of outpatient musculoskeletal rehabilitation sessions consisting of 3 sessions per week will provided to both the groups. Intervention group will receive single exercises into pain by preforming resisted isometric shoulder abduction with TheraBand and progressed to functional rehabilitation, whereas control group will receive a combination of shoulder symptom modification to control the pain, early tendon loading to target the series elastic component of the muscle and heavy slow resistance program to target contractile component of the muscles and improve mechanical strength followed by functional rehabilitation. The investigators will measured Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI), Numerical Pain Rating Scales (NPRS), and Digital Wall (D-WALL) H-Sport Quality Of Life at the baseline assessment, 6th weeks and 13th weeks
The overall aim of this project is to describe changes in pain and perceived shoulder dysfunction in patients with subacromial shoulder pain, following 3 months of digitally delivered first-line treatment containing exercise and patient education with support of a licensed physical therapist. The intervention, a digital first-line treatment for subacromial shoulder pain is a part of the public healthcare system in Sweden and all residents in the country can access the treatment. The treatment program is based on the existing evidence for treating subacromial shoulder pain and is inspired by specific exercises that have been documented to reduce the need for surgery in the patient group. The program focuses on strengthening the rotator cuff and the muscles stabilizing the scapula. The intervention procedure is similar to previous digital treatments by the same digital care provider and is thoroughly described in previous studies.
Shoulder pain is the third most common type of musculoskeletal disorder after back and neck pain in primary care. The prevalence of shoulder pain has been reported between 7% and 26% in the general population, with a life prevalence of up to 67%. The most common cause of shoulder pain is subacromial pain syndrome (SAPS), accounting for 44-60% of all shoulder disorders. Pain caused by SAPS can cause functional impairment and heavy social burden. Before recommending surgery, exercise therapy should be used as the first choice to treat SAPS. Several systematic reviews suggested that supervised exercise therapy can effectively improve the function and pain of patients with SAPS, while several other systematic reviews illustrated that the equal effectiveness of supervised exercises and home-based exercises. Supervised exercise therapy requires substantial and specific resources and may be difficult to apply clinically. Thus, a home-based self-training program may allow individuals to treat SAPS with affordable and easily accessible treatments. The use of complementary and alternative medicine treatment is growing continuously. Yi Jin Bang is a form of mind-body exercise and was developed in Hong Kong in the 1950s based on the principle of traditional Chinese mind-body exercise "Yi Jin Jing". In Chinese, Yi means change, Jin means tendons and sinews, while Bang means stick. As with all other Chinese medical exercises, the focus of Yi Jin Bang is on the cultivation of Qi (energy), which is assumed to harmonize mind and body and so might reduce pain. After reorganizing by physiotherapists, Yi Jin Bang has now become an easy-to-learn exercise program. Many scientific studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of mind-body exercises on pain, such as yoga, Tai Chi, and Qigong. However, the efficacy of Yi Jin Bang exercise in SAPS is not scientifically evaluated. Therefore, the purpose of the present study is to compare the effectiveness of ten weeks of home-based Yi Jin Bang exercise, versus home-based stretching and strengthening exercise, and versus waitlist control on pain, disability, flexibility, and muscular endurance in adults with SAPS. This study hypothesized that home-based Yi Jin Bang exercise and home-based stretching and strengthening exercise have similar effects in reducing pain and disability and improving flexibility and muscular endurance for individuals with SAPS.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of supervised exercise therapy with active soft tissue and joint mobilization. The effectiveness of telerehabilitation- active mobilization and exercises in the evaluation of pain and function in patients with subacromial pain syndrome will be examined and compared with face-to-face treatment, which is passive manual therapy.
A randomized controlled trial: Conservative treatments including physiotherapy and rehabilitation in the management of rotator cuff-related shoulder pain (RCRSP) are generally accepted as the first-line treatment approach, however, it is known that the disease-specific physiotherapy methods used by physiotherapists are highly variable. This may be caused by the insufficient knowledge of therapists about evidence-based interventions to RCRSP. The aim of this study is to develop the '' Rotator Cuff Related Shoulder Pain E-learning Program'' and evaluate its effect on students' knowledge and clinical reasoning skills related to evidence-based RCRSP interventions and their levels of confidence to have this knowledge compared with a control group.
This study conducted to see the effect of adding mobilization with movement to conventional physical therapy to the subject with shoulder impingement syndrome. The shoulder impingement syndrome is often described as anterior lateral shoulder pain that provoked during shoulder elevation. The pain occurs during shoulder elevation and causes limited range of motion. Moreover, the patients with shoulder impingement syndrome commonly had a forward head posture and slouching shoulder. There is a theory that illustrates the mechanical factors lead to the injury of the bursa or rotator cuff tendons below the subacromial space which is highly related to the posture and scapular movement. Various treatments for shoulder impingement syndrome including medical treatments such as anti-inflammatory drugs, subacromial decompression, and acromion resection surgery. Conventional physical therapy treatments for shoulder impingement syndrome included modalities, exercises and manual therapy. Exercise has been showed to give a significant effect to decrease the pain intensity, increasing the range of motion and shoulder function. There is evidence that supports the use of manual therapy on shoulder impingement, the recent technique introduced by Brian Mulligan is mobilization with movement. Mobilization with movement is a manual therapy technique that uses the active movement while the physical therapist applies an accessory force to align the positional fault of the joint. A previous study investigated the effect of mobilization with movement that uses the mobilization with movement in shoulder impingement syndrome showed different outcomes in the measurement of pain intensity and shoulder range of motion. As the posture may be related to shoulder impingement syndrome, this research will measure the cervical posture, shoulder posture, and muscle strength. Therefore, the purposes of this study will be to compare the effects of conventional physical therapy treatments and the conventional therapy treatments plus the mobilization with movement on pain intensity, shoulder range of motion, cervical and shoulder posture, shoulder muscle strength and shoulder function. The study hypothesis was that mobilization with movement is more effective in improving the investigated outcomes in individuals with shoulder impingement syndrome than the conventional physical therapy.
