Active clinical trials for "Shoulder Impingement Syndrome"

The purpose of this trial is to investigate the effectiveness of an evidence based exercise program for shoulder impingement. Approximately 1% of adults consult their General Practitioner (GP) with shoulder pain each year, making it the third most common reason for musculoskeletal GP consultations in the UK. A further 50% of these patients are diagnosed with subacromial impingement syndrome (SAIS) (shoulder impingement syndrome) and commonly referred for physiotherapy treatment. This trial aims to compare the effectiveness of an evidence based exercise protocol with usual physiotherapy care.

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of exercise program on 3-dimensional scapular kinematics, disability and pain on shoulder impingement with scapular dyskinesia.

Study hypothesis: The impingement syndrome of the rotator cuff is a common cause of shoulder pain for which the most effective treatment is unknown. Steroid injections and anti-inflammatory analgetics are considered as effective methods. Physiotherapy and acromioplasty are commonly used treatments. Hypothesis: Arthroscopy and acromioplasty in addition to conservative treatment is equally effective as conservative treatment alone for shoulder impingement syndrome.

Work-related injuries of the shoulder complex represent a challenge for clinicians due to the large variety of clinical entities involved and the broad anatomic structures that are potentially affected. Furthermore, commonly performed orthopedic tests have demonstrated limited accuracy for the actual diagnosis of the injury. Although considerable research has been performed to standardize a model for shoulder injury management, a comprehensive approach integrating both a clinical and functional based status of the pathology and adapted rehabilitation prescription remains lacking. The present study protocol aims to complement previously published shoulder injury management algorithms. Potentially, the multi-component, individualized and progressive multi-etiologic shoulder injury management model for rehabilitation could become a new effective strategy for reducing the time required to regain functional capacity and symptom recovery among patients with work-related shoulder injuries.

This study will be performed to examine the effect of ultrasound-guided subacromial sodium hyaluronate injection in patients with impingement syndrome without rotator cuff complete tear.

This study aims to investigate the relative effect of handgrip strengthening exercise in improving function, pain, strength, and active range of motion (AROM) of the shoulder among patients with primary sub-acromial impingement syndrome (SAIS).

Shoulder pain is a common and high prevalence in the general population. Subacromial Syndrome (Shoulder Impingement Syndrome (SIS)) is the most frequent cause. SIS patients suffering pain, muscle weakness and loss of movement in the affected joint. Initial treatment of the SIS is predominantly conservative. Surgical option has high success rates and is often used when conservative strategy fails. Traditional Physiotherapy and Postoperative exercises is needed to the recovery of joint range, muscle strength, stability and functionality. This Research evaluates the feasibility and effectiveness of a telerehabilitatión Program in SIS after surgery compared with traditional therapy.

Rotator cuff disease (i.e., rotator cuff tendinopathy or tear) is a common cause of shoulder pain in persons with chronic spinal cord injury (SCI). It usually resolves with non-operative treatments such as pharmacological agents and physical therapy; however, when this fails, rotator cuff surgery may be the only option. Autologous adipose tissue injection has recently emerged as a promising new treatment for joint pain and soft tissue injury. Adipose can be used to provide cushioning and filling of structural defects and has been shown to have an abundance of bioactive elements and regenerative perivascular cells (pericytes). The purpose of this study is to explore the safety and efficacy of autologous, micro-fragmented adipose tissue (Lipogems®) injection under ultrasound guidance for chronic shoulder pain in persons with SCI.

The proposed study will compare the efficacy of Triamcinolone versus Ketorolac for intra-articular injection of the knee and shoulder

Upper limb tendinopathies, especially the so called "shoulder impingement syndrome", is a common injury among the population. Its management usually involves active treatments, being the therapeutic progressive exercise the most important and effective modality. However, whether a certain criterion is more appropriate than another when progressing the exercise program remains unclear. We propose a new program based on progressive exercises serving as a standard approach for the management of shoulder impingement syndrome.
