Active clinical trials for "Rotator Cuff Injuries"

This study will compare two different surgical techniques for repairing a tear in the muscles of the shoulder (rotator cuff). The investigators will determine whether an arthroscopic or mini-open technique provides better quality of life and repair integrity.

Rotator cuff-related shoulder pain (RCRSP) are among the most common musculoskeletal disorders and can be associated with pain, weakness, shoulder dysfunction and kinesiophobia. The management could be surgery or nonsurgical options such as medical treatment, education, activity modifications and physiotherapy. Physical activity is defined as any body movement produced by skeletal muscles that requires a certain amount of energy expenditure. Regular physical activity is proven to help prevent and manage many diseases. Beyond these people, doing physical activity have better mental health, emotional wellbeing, quality of life and lower rates of mental illness. Additionally, physical activity and exercise applications are used as an alternative method to reduce the severity and frequency of pain in patients with chronic pain. Investigators reviewed the literature, we could not find any randomized controlled trial on the effectiveness of physical activity in studies conducted with patients with RCRSP. Investigators hypothesized that adding physical activity to the treatment of RCRSP would make a significant difference. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of physical activity applied in addition to supervised exercise on pain, functional status and quality of life in patients with RCRSP.

The aim of this study is to collect a sum of different characteristics that have been mentioned previously in people presenting with RCRSP and by clustering them to create a phenotype system which may assist the individualisation of their management

As it causes pain and disability in individuals with rotator cuff lesions, which is one of the most common causes of shoulder pain, it affects performance in activities of daily living. Shoulder pain significantly affects the quality of life of individuals. The aim of conventional treatment in Rotator Cuff injuries is to reduce the inflammation in the area and to enable the shoulder to perform its normal functions. Conventional treatment is to restore muscle balance in the shoulder area. Muscle balance is achieved by strengthening the teres minor, infraspinatus, and subscapularis, which are also the humeral head depressors, and by strengthening the serratus anterior, levator scapula. For strengthening, the shoulder must have a full range of motion. In our study, stretching exercises, cold pack, Ultrasound, TENS, wand, and Codman exercises, which are classical physiotherapy methods, will be applied to all three groups. There are also studies in the literature investigating the effects of traditional physiotherapy methods on individuals with shoulder Rotator Cuff syndrome. The benefits of breathing exercises on pain, shoulder joint range of motion, and balance have all been researched in the literature. Increased diaphragm activity also guarantees that posture and body positions are maintained healthily. Diaphragm activity generally alters how an individual perceives pain. Diaphragmatic breathing is a therapeutic approach for musculoskeletal disorders.

Purpose of the Study: to compare between the effect of kinesio taping technique versus virtual reality technique in rehabilitation of patients with chronic shoulder impingement syndrome.

Subacromial Impingement Syndrome is one of the most common shoulder pathologies causing shoulder pain, functional disability and reduced quality of life. This study was designed to investigate the effectiveness of posterior capsule stretching and posterior mobilization on shoulder joint functions in Subacromial Impingement Syndrome.

Background: Mirror therapy is an adjuvant treatment option based on shoulder impingement Syndrome Objective:To investigate the effect of mirror theraphy on shoulder impingement Syndrome Methods: The study included 62 participants, including cases in the intervention group (IG) (± years) and 20 cases in the control group (CG) (years) who met the selection criteria. IG received mirror theraphy with regular physiotherapy while CG received only regular physiotherapy. The patients were evaluated with the before treatment, immediately after treatment (post-treatment).

Aim: The aim of this study is to compare the effects of platelet-rich plasma application with additional exercise and only exercise application on pain, muscle strength, functionality and quality of life in subacromial impingement syndrome. Material and Method: 56 patients who applied to the clinic with the complaint of shoulder pain and were diagnosed with Subacromial impingement syndrome between February 2022 and February 2023 will be included in the study. After giving the necessary verbal and written information about the study, the patients with informed consent will be randomized and divided into 2 groups of 28 people. The cases will be randomly divided into groups and their treatment will be done by the same researchers. Evaluation will be carried out by another investigator blinded to which group the participants belong to before and after the treatment. After the initial evaluations are completed, the 1st group will be given a home exercise program that they will apply every day for 8 weeks, and the 2nd group will be given 2 doses of PRP with an interval of 2 weeks in addition to the same exercise program. Initial evaluations of the patients will be made before the treatment and will be re-evaluated at the end of the 6th month. Personal information with the Sociodemographic Data Form prepared by us; pain severity by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS); shoulder functionality will be evaluated with the Constant Murley Score, joint range of motion with the Universal Goniometer, muscle strength with the "Hand-held" dynamometer, and quality of life with the SF-36. Statistical Analysis: SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) (SPSS 21.0) statistical program will be used in the statistical analysis of the data. Mann Whitney-U Test will be used to determine the difference between the efficacy of treatments. P < 0.05 will be considered statistically significant in all analyses.

The primary objective of this study is to compare the improvement in subject-reported clinical outcomes, for Regenexx SD treatment vs. Exercise Therapy of non-retracted supraspinatus tendon tears, from baseline to 3 months, with continued evaluation of efficacy and durability up to 24 months. Secondary objectives include evaluation of US evidence of tendon repair; incidence of post-operative complications, adverse events, re-injections, and surgical intervention; change in pain score and use of pain medications.

Main purpose of this study is to evaluate efficacy of allogenic adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells in treatment of tendon injury. ALLO-ASC will be administrated to the patients with supraspinatus partial thickness tear by ultrasonographic guided injection.
