Active clinical trials for "Bursitis"

Introduction: Greater Trochanter Pain Syndrome (GTPS) includes a number of disorders involving the lateral hip region, including bursitis, gluteal lacerations, and trigger points in the contractile tissue crossing the hip. As an alternative resource for pain relief, dry needling, known as Dry Needling (DN) is a technique that has been shown to be effective in the treatment of soft tissue injuries and neuromyofascial pain, with positive effects on musculoskeletal conditions. Objective: to compare the administration of ND and laser therapy on the effectiveness of reducing lateral hip pain and improving function in women with GTPS. Materials and methods: The sample will consist of 30 women, aged between 35 and 60, randomized into 2 groups: GND group (n=15) and GLT group (n=15). Participants will complete the sample characterization questionnaire, the numerical pain scale and the VISA Tendinopathy Questionnaire for Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome (VISA-G). Subsequently, they will be submitted to evaluation through functional tests sit and stand 30 seconds, Timed up and go test. After the evaluation, they will be submitted to the treatment. The GDN will receive treatment using the technique by a physiotherapist with specific training in NP. The application will be through the deep technique, in the regions of trigger points of muscles of the posterolateral region of the hip with duration of application from 30 to 60 seconds per point, 8 points of application will be standardized, in the region of muscles of the posterolateral region. hip side. The GLT will receive the Laser application by a physiotherapist specialized in traumato-orthopedics. The equipment will be the Infrared Laser (wavelength 904 nm), by punctual technique. Eight application points will be standardized in the muscles region of the posterolateral region of the hip.

Abstract Introduction Frozen shoulder is a common musculoskeletal disorder with reported lifetime prevalence to be 2%~5% in the general population. Patients with frozen shoulders present with chronic pain and limited range of motion of affected shoulder and often cause an adverse impact on their daily activities and working ability. Shoulder exercises had been proven to be effective in treatment of frozen shoulders and the effects were even better after intraarticular corticosteroid injection. Strategies to enhance home exercise for patients with frozen shoulders are essential. Objective To compare the effects of home exercises delivered by a newly developed app named Defrozen app with that by convention home exercise for frozen shoulder patients after intra-articular corticosteroid injection. Methods and analysis This is a randomized, controlled, assessor-blinded clinical trial. Seventy-eight individuals diagnosed with frozen shoulders will be randomly divided into two groups. The primary outcome will be shoulder pain evaluated by 11-point numeric rating scale. The secondary outcomes will include shoulder passive range of motion (measured with a universal goniometer), , Oxford shoulder score and Disabilities of the arm, shoulder and hand questionnaire. Feasibility of the app includes including Technology Acceptance Model (TAM-2), System Usability Scale (SUS) and Usability, Satisfaction and Ease of Use (USE) questionnaire . The treatment will be conducted for 6 months (Defrozen app home exercise x conventional home exercise by instructions from printed pamphlets).All participants will receive outcome measurements assessment prior to randomization , 4 weeks , 12 weeks after injections interventions. Feasibility will be evaluated 4 weeks after intervention in the Defrozen app group. Ethics and dissemination The study protocol was approved by the Institutional Review Board. The findings of the trial will be disseminated through peer-reviewed journals and scientific conferences.

Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of intra-articular hyaluronic acid (HA) injections for the treatment of adhesive capsulitis (AC) of the shoulder. Design: Prospective, case- controlled trial. Setting: Rehabilitation department of a medical center hospital. Participants: Patients (30) with AC Interventions: The patients received intra-articular glenohumeral joint injections of HA, 60mg, once per week for 3 consecutive weeks. Main Outcome Measures: Active and passive range of motion (ROM) of the affected shoulder; Shoulder pain and disability were measured using 2 questionnaires: the SPADI. The patients were evaluated before treatment and were reevaluated 4, 6, 8, 12 weeks after the beginning of the treatment.

A randomized control trial will be conducted at the outpatient department of Dow Institute of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. A sample size of 80 is calculated using PASS version 11 software. The subjects will be first screened and those who fulfill the inclusion criteria, will be asked to fill the consent form. After selection, the participants will be randomly allocated by the help of computer generated randomization sheet, into two groups i.e. experimental and the control group. The group A will be provided with the myofascial release along with the neuromuscular training whereas the group B will only receive the neuromuscular training. Cold pack will be applied to both the groups. The neuromuscular training consists of warm-up phase, lunges, sideways exercises, wall squats, weight transfer exercises, step up and down and the cool down phase. Total 12 sessions of 35 minutes each will be given to all the participants for about 4 weeks on alternate days. Outcome measures will be analyzed by visual analogue scale (VAS) for pain assessment, goniometry for range of motion and the Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) to evaluate the functional assessment of the patients at the baseline and the post intervention.

The aim of this study is to determine the effects of Gong's mobilization with and without Stecco Fascial therapy on pain, range of motion and function in patients with Adhesive capsulitis.

In the treatment of adhesive capsulitis, conservative treatment usually gives successful results, and steroid injection is an effective method that is frequently preferred among conservative treatment modalities. However, many controversial issues have not yet been clarified in the literature, such as the location of the injection, whether into the glenohumeral joint or around the coracohumeral ligament where the most radiological findings are detected.

The aim of this study is to determine if there is any difference in terms of pain relief in patients with frozen shoulder, when given a steroid injection as a suprascapular nerve block compared to a glenohumeral joint intra-articular injection. The investigators hypothesis is that there is a significant difference in terms of pain relief at 3 months, 6 months and 1 year between a steroid injection as a suprascapular nerve block compared to a glenohumeral joint intra-articular injection. Participants who attend the orthopaedic clinic and are diagnosed with unilateral frozen shoulder and who are suitable to be treated with a steroid injection will be identified. If the participant consents to having a steroid injection, he/she will then be invited to participate in the trial where they will have an injection either into the glenohumeral joint (ball and socket joint of the shoulder) or as a suprascapular nerve block (injection adjacent to a nerve over the shoulder blade) under ultrasound guidance. Participants will then be followed up at 3, 6 and 12 months after their injection and asked to complete a set of questionnaires assessing pain, function and movement. The results of the groups will then be compared to see if one treatment is superior to the other.

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.

This randomized control trial aims to compare the effect of myofascial release of subscapularis along with shoulder mobilization VS mobilization alone among patients with adhesive capsulitis. The study will be conducted at physiotherapy outpatient department (OPD) of Sindh Institute of physical medicine and rehabilitation, and Dow University Ojha Campus, Karachi. According to study criteria, 70 patients with sub-acute adhesive capsulitis will be selected through a non-randomized purposive sampling technique by a consultant physician. After taking informed consent, participants will be randomly divided into 2 groups through the sealed envelope method. Both the groups will receive conventional treatment while Group 1 will be given an additional treatment of myofascial release of subscapularis through ischemic compression technique. Total 6 treatment sessions will be provided and assessment will be done at baseline and end of the 6th session.

This study was conducted to compare the efficacy of hydrodilatation with steroid with hyaluronic acid and steroid for treating adhesive capsulitis.
