Active clinical trials for "Bursitis"

A randomized controlled trial to compare the effect of ultrasound-guided hyaluronic or corticosteroid injections in patients with chronic subacromial bursitis.

This study was conducted to compare the efficacy of hydrodilatation with hyaluronic acid under ultrasonographic guidance plus physical therapy (PT) with that of PT alone for treating adhesive capsulitis.

Objective: A randomized clinical trial in order to evaluate the efficacy of a specific exercise strategy for patients with subacromial pain. Hypothesis: H1 - The three month specific exercise strategy has a satisfactory effect improving shoulder function and/or shoulder pain. H0 - No difference between the two exercise strategies (specific exercise strategy and active control exercises). Method: Patients attending primary care with subacromial pain are offered participation. If accepted, they will participate in a three month rehabilitation program. The duration of symptoms can vary from 2 weeks and longer. The patients will be randomized to either rehabilitation; the specific exercise strategy or active control exercises. All patients has an equal number of sessions with the physical therapist (PT) to offer similar attention and support with exercise performance. A blinded physical therapist evaluates the following outcomes at baseline and after three-, six and twelve months: Primary outcomes: Constant-Murley shoulder assessment (CM-score). Secondary outcomes; Disabilities of the Arm Shoulder and Hand questionnaire (DASH), different aspects of pain by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), EuroQol-5D index (EQ-5D) and EuroQol-VAS (EQ-VAS), The Patient Specific functional Scale, and Patients' global impression of change (PGIC). Also sick-leave and return to work will be recorded. All patients are evaluated with a diagnostic ultrasound to reveal the status of the rotator cuff. Additional to the analysis of treatment effect on shoulder function and pain, factors influencing and explaining the CM-score at follow-ups will be analyzed. This study is warranted in order to evaluate if an earlier reported positive effect on shoulder function and pain with the specific exercise strategy, in patients on waiting list for subacromial decompression, can be repeated in the primary care population of patients with subacromial pain. There is no consensus about first-line exercises for patients with subacromial pain, and these positive results on pain and shoulder function need to be reproduced in primary care before they can be recommended and implemented. Further, knowledge about which factors that can be used in prediction rules for patients that will respond to the exercises or needs surgery is lacking.

A Randomized, Multi-Center, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Phase III Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy, Tolerability and Safety of MRX-7EAT Etodolac-Lidocaine Topical Patch in the Treatment of Pain due to Recent Onset Supraspinatous and/or Subacromial Tendonitis/Bursitis and/or Subdeltoid Bursitis of the Shoulder.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of a ketoprofen topical patch on the pain associated with tendonitis or bursitis of the shoulder, elbow or knee.

The purpose of this study is to compare two treatments used for treating frozen shoulder which are arthroscopy and forceful stretching of the shoulder and home stretching therapy to see if one relives pain and improves shoulder motion more quickly. The other purpose is to try and understand what causes frozen shoulder. For this purpose, tissue will be taken from the shoulder during surgery and studied for the presence and level of a protein called cytokine (Connective Tissue Growth Factor)

This study will be a randomized control trial conducted on 44 patients diagnosed as adhesive capsulitis in headquarter hospital Gujar khan. Subjects will be divided equally into 4 groups (n=11 in each group) that are Group A, B, C and D by sealed envelope method. Pre-intervention assessment will be done by using data collection tools and then intervention will be applied. Group A will receive mobilization with movement (MWM) technique along with Spencer's muscle energy technique (MET) with conventional therapy. Group B will receive MWM along with conventional therapy. Group C will receive Spencer's MET along with conventional therapy. Group D will receive conventional therapy alone. All subjects will be given a home exercise plan. Assessment will be done after 1st session, 1st week, 2nd week, 3rd week and finally after 2 weeks on follow up using data collection tool. Data collection tools are semi-structured questionnaire (informed consent, demographic details, goniometric measurements), Visual analogue scale (VAS), shoulder pain and disability index (SPADI) and universal goniometer.

This study will help the physiotherapists in overcoming the challenges and barriers in the treatment. It will also help researchers in acquiring sufficient knowledge for further research on the Bowen technique and its various applications as this technique is not widely applied in the field of physical therapy treatment.

this study will be a randomized clinical trial. This study will be conducted in Nishat Latif Hospital, Barath, Sialkot. A sample size of 22 patients will be taken. Patients will be divided into two groups by lottery method. Group A will be treated with mulligan mobilization technique and conventional physiotherapy with Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation and electrical heating pad. Group B will be treated with muscle energy technique and conventional treatment of Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation and electrical hot pack. Both groups will receive treatment for5 weeks,2 sessions in a week with baseline and 6 weeks treatment reading will be taken. The outcome measures Numeric pain rating scale, disabilities of the arm, shoulder and hand, Shoulder Pain and Disability Index . data will be analyzed by Statistical Package for the Social Sciences 25.

Background: Postoperative Frozen-Shoulder (FS) or adhesive capsulitis is a relatively frequent complication (5-20%), even after simple arthroscopic shoulder surgeries. The pathophysiology is still unclear, but psychological factors may play a pivotal role. From clinical experience, the investigators hypothesized that participants, who are reluctant to take medications, particularly "pain-killers", have an increased incidence of postoperative FS. The investigators retrospectively compared participants with and without postoperative FS by their attitude towards medication and by depression scale questionnaires.
