Active clinical trials for "Bursitis"

The efficacy of manual therapy and therapeutic exercise in patients suffering from adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder will be studied. Furthermore, different biomechanic and psychosocial factors will be measured with a nine month follow-up

This study aims, by means of a randomized control trial, to investigate which treatment method (corticoid injection + physiotherapy with a focus on manual therapy and home-exercises versus corticosteroid injection + physiotherapy with focus on education and supported home exercises) gives better results on clinically relevant outcomes (range of glenohumeral motion, psychological factors, pain, shoulder function, quality of life) and on parameters derived from arthroscopic glenohumeral investigation by means of MRI. Furthermore, associations between (1) the results on the MRI investigation, (2) the range of glenohumeral motion, (3) shoulder function and pain, and (4) psychological factors will be assessed at different time-points (before and at 6-12-18 and 52 weeks after the first injection).

This study is looking at a new treatment, using the patient's own stem cells (the repair cells of the body), to see whether this can help reduce pain and promote healing of the Achilles tendon, without side effects.

This study on frozen shoulder addressed the null hypothesis that there is no difference in the motion of scapula against the thoracic wall between affected and non-affected shoulder.

Steroid injections are widely utilized to reduce inflammation and fibrosis in patients with the frozen shoulder. In this study, investigators will compare intra-articular steroid injections with direct coracohumeral ligament steroid injection to conventional intra-articular steroid injection. Investigators will measure the primary outcome as shoulder function improvement and secondary outcomes as ROM, pain scale and stiffness of coracohumeral ligament under elastogram.

To investigate the factors associated with improvement after intraarticular steroid injection for patients with Frozen shoulder

Arthrographic distention of the shoulder joint is an increasingly popular treatment option in the management of patients with frozen shoulder. Most have included the intra-articular injection of a corticosteroid as part of the procedure, but it is not known if this is necessary. It is also not known whether arthrographic distention using steroid and saline is better than intra-articular steroid injection alone. The purpose of this study is to determine whether there is an additional benefit in the combination of arthrographic distention plus intra-articular corticosteroid injection compared to arthrographic distention or intra-articular corticosteroid injection alone.

All participants are randomly allocated to the spray group, EMLA group and placebo group. In spray group, participants receive an application of placebo cream at the needle electrode insertion site 60 minutes before needle insertion, and a self adhering dressing is placed over the site. After 60 minutes, the dressing and cream are removed from the site, then the insertion site is sprayed from a distance of 30 cm for 5 seconds or until the skin was blanched, then intra-articular injection of shoulder is performed. Immediately after injection, participants are asked to fill out the visual analog scale for injectional pain, five point Likert scale for satisfaction about the topical anesthesia. In EMLA group, participants receive an EMLA cream and placebo spray. In placebo group, participants receive a placebo cream and placebo spray.

The purpose of the study is to compare two different treatment regimens for primary frozen shoulder: Arthroscopic capsulotomy and arthrographic distention with steroid.

The purpose of this study was to investigate adaptation, validity, and reliability of the Turkish version of the Victorian Institute of Sports Assessment for Gluteal Tendinopathy (VISA-G) Questionnaire.
