Active clinical trials for "Rotator Cuff Injuries"

The aim of this study is to determine the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Functional Shoulder Score in Turkish patients with subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS).

Patients undergoing shoulder rotator cuff surgery in an outpatient setting are the focus of this study. The purpose of this study is to determine if the product EXPAREL® can be used as a safe alternative in shoulder surgery to pain pumps, while limiting narcotic use and providing appropriate postoperative pain control.

Rotator cuff tears are common musculoskeletal injuries that can lead to altered scapular and rotator cuff muscle activation patterns and reduced function. This study aims to investigate the relationship between rotator cuff tear severity and scapular and rotator cuff muscle activation patterns. The primary objective of this study is to determine whether a relationship exists between the severity of rotator cuff tears and the activation patterns of scapular and rotator cuff muscles. Secondary objectives include: Identifying differences in muscle activation patterns between varying tear sizes. Evaluating the potential of these activation patterns as an indicator for the severity of rotator cuff tears. Assessing the influence of muscle activation patterns on the functional capacity of the affected shoulder.

In the Finnish Imaging of Shoulder study we will recruit 600 participants from a nationally representative general population sample. Participants aged 40 to 75 years will be invited to a clinical visit that includes assessment of general health, shoulder history and symptoms, and bilateral clinical examination and shoulder imaging (both plain radiography and MRI). We aim to assess the prevalence of abnormal imaging findings in both asymptomatic and symptomatic individuals and explore possible risk factors for abnormal imaging findings and shoulder symptoms.

This study involves patients who will be undergoing a reverse total shoulder replacement at Duke University. 100 eligible will be randomly assigned into one of two groups, a sling or no sling group. Patients in the sling group will wear a sling for four weeks after their surgery while the no sling group will only wear a sling three days after their surgery or until their nerve block wears off, whichever comes first. Patients will follow their doctors normal follow up visit schedule after surgery, with visits at 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years.

The objective of the study is to evaluate the preoperative bone quality assessment based on CT to later establish a scale for the decision of stemless shoulder arthroplasty.

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effects of gabapentin in patients undergoing rotator cuff repair surgery. The main question it aims to answer is whether gabapentin can improve postoperative pain and sleep quality. Participants in this study will be randomized to either take gabapentin after surgery or a placebo after surgery.

Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of motor imagery on muscle activity, pain, and function in arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Methods: As a result of the power analysis (G-Power), 36 participants are planned to be included in this study Block randomization will be used to divide participants into 2 groups, each with at least 18 participants: Group 1 (MI group) and Group 2 (Control group) (Randomizer.org). Both groups will receive a 4-week physical therapy program. MI (Motor Imagination) group will receive a motor imagination program in addition to the physical therapy program. Data will collect using the visual analog scale (VAS), goniometric measurement, circumference measurement, Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand Questionnaire (DASH), Kinesthetic and Visual Imagery Questionnaire- KVIQ-20, Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale, 3-question satisfaction questionnaire, superficial Electromyography (EMG) (BTS Bioengineering Free EMG 100 RT). Practice Implications: The current study will contribute to understanding how motor imagination affects muscle activity and muscle atrophy.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of a novel sleep aid known as SlumberCurve™, which serves as an adjustable form of a wedge pillow, on sleep quality and pain management following rotator cuff repair. The researchers hypothesize that SlumberCurve™ will significantly improve sleep quality and reduce night-time pain.

Femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAIS) is a condition caused by an abnormal bone structure that causes the bones on either side of the hip joint to impinge on each other during certain movements, thus causing pain. This condition can be surgically treated with hip arthroscopy. For patients undergoing hip arthroscopy, there are currently two protocols related to how they may bear their weight after surgery: 1) Delayed Weightbearing: Patients use crutches and put very little weight on the surgical side. After 6 weeks, they are able to bear weight, 2) Immediate Weightbearing: Patients bear weight on the affected side, as tolerated, immediately after surgery with crutches for additional support. They are then permitted to stop using the crutches in the weeks after surgery as they feel comfortable and are stable on the operative leg. The purpose of this study is to determine whether immediate or delayed weightbearing protocols following hip arthroscopy impact patient outcomes and complication rates. Participants will be randomly allocated into one of the two aforementioned groups, and followed up for 2 years to assess function and patient-reported outcomes.
