Active clinical trials for "Bursitis"

Introduction : Prolotherapy is regenerative tissue therapy that is considered to be efficacious in reducing symptoms and morbidity of frozen shoulder, but only a few studies demonstrate the effect of prolotherapy at the biomolecular level, particularly the level of Matrix Metalloproteinase- I (MMP-1), Tissue Inhibitor Matrix Metalloproteinase (TIMP-1), as the biomarkers of cartilage repair. Objective: To determine the effect of prolotherapy on MMP-1, TIMP-1, and functional outcomes in frozen shoulder patients Method: a double-blind randomized controlled trial study involving participants who had been diagnosed with Frozen Shoulder. History taking, functional outcome assessment, MMP-1, and TIMP-1 were measured. The prolotherapy via intraarticular and extraarticular was performed four times, followed by the evaluation of functional outcome, MMP-1, and TIMP-1 at week 12 Alternative Hypothesis : Prolotherapy will increase the MMP-1, TIMP-1 levels, and improve functional outcome among Frozen Shoulder patients

To evaluate the efficiencies of local corticosteroid injections and local anesthetics in patients with concomitant pes anserine bursitis and osteoarthritis.

This study will compare between the effect of three treatment modalities of shoulder adhesive capsulitis to hilight the best technique to improve pain and range of motion outcome measures .

This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of EN3835 for the treatment of adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder (frozen shoulder).

Frozen shoulder or adhesive capsulitis is a common cause of shoulder pain, estimated to affect 25% of the general population. Many forms of treatment have been advocated for frozen shoulder including physiotherapy, injection with steroid, distension arthrogram with steroid, manipulation under anesthetic and arthroscopic releases. There is no general agreement in favour of one form of treatment, and the response to a particular treatment varies in different series. A few randomized controlled trials appear in the literature. Most of these showed improvements with steroid use, but the results were not always statistically significant. One randomized control trial reported superior results in favor of arthrographic joint distension with steroid compared to a saline placebo. To our knowledge there have been no other similar randomized trials to support these results. The objective of this study is to determine if arthrographic distension of the shoulder joint with steriods is an effective treatment modality for adhesive capsulitis as compared to injection with local anesthetic and contrast alone. The study design is a placebo-controlled, double blind clinical trial where participants will undergo distension arthrogram of the shoulder and be randomized to receive either Triamcinalone (steroid), lidocaine and contrast or injection with lidocaine and contrast alone.

The aim of this study was to determine the effects of kinesiotaping in comparison to NSAIDs and physical therapy in treatment of pes anserinus tendino-bursitis.

To evaluate functional, clinical, and subjective parameters in patients with rotator cuff syndrome and bursitis treated with Traumeel® S injections versus corticosteroid injections and versus placebo. 160 patients are planned to be randomised (i.e., 64 patients per active treatment group and 32 patients in the placebo group) in 9 investigator sites in Germany, Belgium and Spain. Finally 176 patients have been randomized (73 Traumeel, 67 Fortecortin and 36 Placebo) and 175 of them received at least one dosage of treatment

Many patients experience an effect of steroid injection, however the effect is often short lasting and recurrence of symptoms is common. The short term effect of injection has been shown to be much better than exercise therapy; however over time the superior effect of injection compared to exercise does not last. Injection in combination with exercise therapy might be a more sufficient therapy than injection alone. The aim of this study is to investigate a combination of steroid injection and a 10 week exercise program. In addition, the study tests the validity of clinical impingement tests using ultrasound verified impingement as gold standard.

To investigate the safety and efficacy of methylprednisolone infiltration in anserine bursitis treatment

The purpose of this study is to compare classical massage and massage based on the tensegrity rule in treating people with painful shoulder.
