Active clinical trials for "Bursitis"

The aim of this study is to compare the effects of activity versus structural oriented treatment approach on pain, range of motion, and function in diabetic patients with frozen shoulder.

Although the middle gluteal muscle is an important stabilizer of the pelvis, no relationship has yet been described between the Great Trochanteric Pain Syndrome (GTPS) and the resistance of the core muscles. Objective: To evaluate the effect of a core resistance program on pain, activation and muscle strength, quality of life and postural control in women with GTPS. Materials and methods: The sample will consist of 36 postmenopausal women with clinical diagnosis of GTPS, who will be randomized into 2 groups: group 1 (hip exercises) and group 2 (hip + core exercises). The treatment protocol will be performed twice a week, for 4 weeks. The same evaluation will be done in 3 moments (in the pre-treatment period, after 4 weeks and 12 weeks after the end of treatment, as a follow up), and will consist of the following analyzes: quality of life (Hip Outcome Score - HOS questionnaire), GTPS severity (VISA-G questionnaire), muscle activation (electromyography - EMG), dynamic postural control (force platform - CoP), muscle strength (load cell), core resistance (supine bridge test and prone bridge test) and pain intensity (Visual Analogue Scale). Expected results: It is intended to establish the effect of a resistance program of core muscles on pain, activation and muscle strength, quality of life and postural control in women with SDGT.

This study was conducted to compare the efficacy of hydrodilatation with steroid via posterior approach versus hydrodilatation with steroid with axillary nerve injection for treating patients with adhesive capsulitis.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the 12-week ViFive program, a vision-based artificial intelligent digital care plan for chronic knee pain. ViFive digital care plan is delivered by a physical therapy team consisting of physical therapists and a personal coach. We aim to understand the safety and efficacy of this vision artificial intelligent based home exercise program.

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of muscle energy technique on adhesive capsulitis post mastectomy.

Adhesive capsulitis, is a common problem characterized by the insidious onset of glenohumeral pain and limitation of shoulder motion in all planes. Clinically, frozen shoulder could be divided into freezing, frozen and thawing stage. The treatments of frozen shoulder are mainly conservative, including non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications and physiotherapy. Due to debilitating pain at a certain stage and protracted clinical course, intra-articular corticosteroid injection in the early stages of idiopathic adhesive capsulitis has long been used to treat adhesive capsulitis with satisfactory result. However, intra-articular steroid injection still raise some controversy and is still considered too invasive for some patients. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is a safe and non-invasive alternative. LLLT can employ photo-biomodulation effects to help normalize cellular functions and is considered to have partial effect in many shoulder soft tissue disorders. Possible mechanisms include increasing adenosine triphosphate production, fibroblast activity and collagen synthesis. One prospective cohort study has shown that LLLT can be effective in the management of the early phase (less than 6 weeks of disease onset) of adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder in elderly who failed to respond to conventional physical therapy and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications and improvement was found maintained up to 2 years. To this date, no randomized controlled study has been made to establish the possible role of LLLT as an adjuvant therapy on adhesive capsulitis. Also, no study has researched the effect of LLLT on patient with later stage/chronic phase of adhesive capsulitis. The objective of this paper is to report the clinical result of a study on the efficacy of LLLT as an add-on therapy in the management of adhesive capsulitis.

The purpose of this study is to identify individuals 18 or older who have diagnostic presentation of adhesive capsulitis and randomize them into two arms, distinguished by use of physical therapy and steroid injections compared with steroid injections followed by watchful waiting. This prospective study will be used to determine whether there is a significant impact on patient outcome and whether the additional financial burden is justified. There are no experimental interventions for this study. The use of physical therapy, oral and parenteral corticosteroids, and watchful waiting are offered following the standard of care for adhesive capsulitis. Our hypothesis is that patients will not have a significant difference in outcome between the two study arms. One group will undergo regular physical therapy with corticosteroid injections (Arm 1) and the other will have steroid injections during the inflammatory phase only and then be regularly observed (Arm 2). We also hypothesize there will be a significant financial burden associated with the PT arm that is not justified with the possibility of increased symptom reports in that arm.

Introduction: Adhesive capsulities or Frozen shoulder is one of the common causes of shoulder pain and disability in the upper extremity. It affects the functions of glenohumeral joint, limiting both active and passive movements of the shoulder. One way of non-surgical treatment method that has been receiving attention recently is extracorporeal shockwave therapy (ESWT). ESWT is a pulsed sound wave, characterized by short duration, high pressure amplitude, and relatively low tensile wave component. ESWT has beenrepotreatingtreat a variety of pain conditions effectively and safely. Purpose: The purpose of the present study is to determine whether ESWT could be effective in thetreatment of adhesive capsulitis or frozen shoulder.

Shoulder pain accounts for 16% of all musculoskeletal complaints in the healthy adult population. Subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS) is the most common cause of shoulder pain. Many patients with chronic pain from subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS) will fail treatment efforts and have longstanding pain. This project will evaluate the efficacy of a novel approach to treatment, percutaneous peripheral nerve stimulation, for participants with chronic shoulder pain due to subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS).

Adhesive capsulitis is a fairly common orthopedic condition that causes pain and loss of range of motion. There are a variety of ways to treat adhesive capsulitis, one of them being an intra-articular steroid injection. This is done to help decrease the inflammatory response caused by adhesive capsulitis. In this study, all participants will receive an intra-articular glenohumeral injection of ZILRETTA and will be followed up with at four time points over 1 year to observe pain, function and range of motion following the injection.
