Active clinical trials for "Bursitis"

Adhesive capsulitis (AC) is a significant cause of chronic shoulder pain and disability. Non-surgical option consisting of intraarticular corticosteroid (IA CS) injection with structured physiotherapy (PT) is the current standard of care. More recent randomized controlled trials have found that rotator interval (RI) hydro-dissection approach leads to better improvement in pain as compared to IA approach. Despite being non-inferior to surgical management, long-term outcome studies of patients treated with IA CS injection and PT have shown that patients only achieve satisfactory outcomes in 72.3% of patients after a mean symptom duration of 41.8 months. Furthermore, CS injections are associated with significant systemic and local adverse effects such as Cushing syndrome, osteopenia/ osteoporosis, infection, and hyperglycemia. In recent years, dextrose injection has emerged as an effective alternative to CS-based injections to treat chronic painful musculoskeletal conditions such as chronic low back pain, peripheral nerve entrapment and lateral epicondylitis. The investigators aim to study the effects of RI hydro-dissection with dextrose 5% (D5%) on pain relief, shoulder ROM and shoulder function in patients with primary AC.

The aim of our study is to investigate the efficacy of high energy density pulse electromagnetic field for patients with frozen shoulder

Gluteal tendinopathy, a degenerative condition of the gluteal tendons, is a common cause of lateral hip pain. It is three times more common in women, affecting up to 25% of those aged over 40 years. Research evidence supporting the most effective interventions remains limited. A 2018 landmark three-arm RCT (LEAP trial) in Australia compared EDucation on load management plus eXercise (EDX) against corticosteroid injection (CSI), and a 'wait-and see' control on pain and global improvement in 205 individuals with gluteal tendinopathy (Mellor et al, 2016; 2018). Results showed superior and significant positive effects in the EDX group, compared with CSI and wait-and-see groups at 8 weeks and 1 year. A total of 14 EDX sessions was provided over 8 weeks in LEAP, but in the public healthcare system in Ireland, typically 5-6 physiotherapy treatments are provided. Therefore, whilst the LEAP trial demonstrated positive effects for EDX, implementation into clinical practice in Ireland is questionable as 6 or less treatment sessions are typically provided in public and private settings in Ireland (French et al, 2020). This two-arm feasibility RCT aims to evaluate the feasibility of conducting a future RCT of a reduced dose (6 sessions) of a recently proven efficacious physiotherapy treatment of EDucation plus eXercise (EDX-Ireland) to usual care for gluteal tendinopathy in an Irish setting. A Study Within A Trial will evaluate if exercise adherence is improved with use of a smartphone app compared with paper-based diaries.

The objective of this study will be to determine the Effects of conventional physical therapy with and without scapular stabilization exercises on pain, function, scapular dyskinesia, and proprioception in patients with adhesive capsulitis.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of Heavy Slow Resistance exercise in patients diagnosed with frozen shoulder using randomized controlled trial design

the aim of this study is to compare the effect of Axillary Phonophoresis versus Post isometric facilitation in subjects with Adhesive capsulitis

The goal of this interventional study is to compare the outcomes of two different injection aprroaches in patients with frozen shoulder. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is hydrodilatation better than intraarticular corticosteroid injection? Is there any prognostic factors that will help clinicians guide their decision making when choosing between these two treatments? Participans will receive an injection(cortcosteroid and local anesthetics alone or with hydrodilatation-corticosteroid and local anesthetics plus sterile saline solution) and then they will follow a rehabilitation program.

Although a relationship has been reported between stroke and adhesive capsulitis, it is controversial whether the underlying cause of the capsular changes seen in hemiplegic shoulder pain is true adhesive capsulitis. Although there has been a limited number of studies, ultrasound, which has been reported as a sensitive and specific method in the diagnosis of true (idiopathic) adhesive capsulitis, has not yielded similar results to arthrography and MRI in demonstrating fibrotic and adhesive changes in the glenohumeral capsule in stroke patients with hemiplegic shoulder pain. This study aims to investigate ultrasonographic structural changes that may be associated with adhesive capsulitis in subacute stroke patients with painful and stiff hemiplegic side shoulder.

We will recruit a total of 40 patients from the Vanderbilt Sports Medicine Clinics who have been diagnosed with adhesive capsulitis and have not undergone any previous treatment. The 40 patients will be randomized, with 20 in the control group of 3 intra-articular injections of 40mg Methylprednisolone spaced every two weeks, and 20 in the experimental group of 3 intra-articular injection of 50mg doxycycline spaced every two weeks. Both groups will begin a standardized physical therapy program within a pain-free range of motion 4 weeks after the initiation of treatment. We will prospectively follow patients for one year, with follow-up at 6 weeks, 12 weeks, 6 months, and 12 months after the initiation of treatment. Outcomes will be measured using the American Shoulder and Elbow Score (ASES) and objective measurements of shoulder range of motion, which will be collected by the treating physician. Both the patients and physicians participating in the study will be blinded.

The purpose of this study is to compare two treatments for adhesive capsulitis.
