Active clinical trials for "Shoulder Impingement Syndrome"

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether pretreatment central sensitization presence affect shoulder steroid injection resuls in patients with rotator cuff pathology. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is central sensitization associated with decreased treatment response? Do the clinical features of patients with central sensitization differ from those of those without? Participants will be applied a shoulder injection and the treatment response will be monitored.

Previous research suggests that general practitioners find handling patients with shoulder pain difficult and that the current care for shoulder pain is not in line with the best available evidence (1).This project aims to assess the effectiveness, costs and implementation of an evidence-based guideline for shoulder pain in general practice.

The purpose of this study is to determine if intravenous TXA is a safe alternative to epinephrine in improving arthroscopic shoulder visualization. Primary Objectives Determine that patients given intravenous tranexamic acid improves surgeon-rated visualization compared to placebo. Determine that intravenous tranexamic acid is a safe alternative to epinephrine mixed irrigation fluid to improve arthroscopic shoulder visualization

In recent years the management of shoulder impingement syndrome (SIS) included the thoracic spine as it was proved that it's highly correlated to pathologies in shoulder joint. SIS is proved to be associated with kyphotic posture. Also, It was proved that changing sitting posture affects the measured ROM of shoulder joint and this implicates the influence of changing thoracic position on shoulder mechanics. Explanations were made regarding the role of thoracic spine in affecting the shoulder joint through two ways. Firstly, through affecting the mechanics of scapular movements and secondly through altering the length tension relationship of shoulder musculature. This study would aim at studying the most effective thoracic mobilization in the treatment of SIS.

The study aims at determining the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of surgical management of subacromial impingement (including partial tears) compared to conservative treatment. The research setting is prospective, randomised, and controlled. The aim of the study is to search out evidence based data of indications for subacromial decompression. The investigators also aim at offering patients the most efficient and effective treatment and reduce the number of operations that do not have sufficient effectiveness. The data obtained will facilitate developing guidelines for referrals to a specialist when subacromial impingement is suspected. The investigators hypothesise that there are subgroups of patients suffering from subacromial impingement that benefit from surgery whereas other subgroups are best treated conservatively.

pShoulder impingement syndrome is common and number of operations done per year is growing. The aim of this study is to compare the value of arthroscopic subacromial decompression (acromioplasty group) vs. diagnostic arthroscopy (control group) vs. supervised exercise therapy (conservative group) on subjects with chronic subacromial impingement syndrome. The results of treatment are measured at 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months, 5 years and 10 years. Primary outcome measures are pain at rest and activity (VASs) and secondary outcomes are functional assessment of the shoulder with Constant score and Simple Shoulder test (SST), global assessment of change , quality of life assessment (SF-36 and 15D) and costs. At 10 year follow-up, MRI imaging is obtained and the findings compared to baseline imaging.

The primary objective of the present study is to evaluate if a single acute BFR low load- exercise bout would reduce pain in patients with nonspecific shoulder pain and whether the potential hypoalgesia will be maintained after a 45-minute physical therapy shoulder exercise session. BFR exercise will be compared to a sham BFR exercise protocol. We hypothesize that the participants in the BFR group in will experience reduced pain and will be able to complete a scapula and rotator cuff muscles exercise loading program with reduced pain until the end of the exercise program.

this study will be conducted to investigate instrumented Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization On Pain, Function And Proprioception In Patients With Shoulder Impingement Syndrome

Shoulder pain is highly prevalent within general population, and shoulder impingement syndrome (SIS) is a common cause of shoulder pain. A small number of clinical and methodologically diverse trials have been published recently which show little evidence to support or refute the use of acupuncture for shoulder pain. Some researchers concluded, there is a need for further well-designed clinical trials. Our aim in this study is to investigate the effect of acupuncture treatment on pain, range of motion, functionality and quality of life in patients diagnosed with Subacromial Impingement Syndrome as a result of clinical and radiological tests.

Background: Subacromial Impingement Syndrome (SIS) is the commonest disorder of the shoulder, accounting for 44%-65% of all complaints of shoulder pain. Previous studies have found kinematic changes and alterations in muscle activation amplitude or timing. Recent studies also show the different organization of the corticospinal system in patients with SIS and alterations in central motor representation in individuals with rotator cuff tendinopathy. To restore kinematic changes and muscle activation in patients with SIS, treatments of patients with SIS commonly include motor control exercise and taping. However, there are different types of taping with different properties and purposes resulting in inconsistent outcomes. Recently, a new taping technique, Dynamic tape whose properties are between the most common taping Kinesio tape and rigid tape may solve the questions above. But the evidence of the effect of Dynamic tape and the additional effect of Dynamic tape with motor control exercises are still not well understood. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the additional effects of Dynamic taping with motor control exercise compared to motor control exercise alone on kinematic, muscle activity, corticospinal excitability, pain and function in people with subacromial Impingement Syndrome. Methods: This is a randomized control trial. Fifty individuals with SIS will be randomly assigned into either an exercise group or dynamic tape with exercise group. Both groups will receive 5 sessions of treatment in 2 weeks, with 30 minutes per sessions. Outcomes will be measured at baseline, after the first intervention and following 2-week intervention. Primary outcome measures will include scapular kinematics, scapular muscle activation and corticospinal system. Secondary outcome measures included shoulder pain by a numeric pain rating scale and shoulder function by the disability of the arm, shoulder & hand scale (DASH). Data analysis: two-way and three-way mixed ANOVA will used to compare the intervention effect of two groups.
