Active clinical trials for "Shoulder Impingement Syndrome"

The investigators goal is to provide a mechanism that allows for a better understanding of patient outcomes following rehabilitation. This includes functional outcomes measured by standardized and validated tools from the published literature. It incorporates comorbidities and patient demographic characteristics. It includes measures of general health as well along with activities of daily living and behavioral health aspects. Measures of quality and satisfaction and use of Net Promoter Scores also are included. All of these components come together to form a remarkably comprehensive picture of patients and their associated outcomes. This is a unique milestone in rehabilitative care and will act to inform and direct evidence-based approaches and treatment guidelines. Data are collected via the investigators proprietary electronic medical record system and are synthetic to the clinical process-that is, the data are collected in real-time with patients and the scores are immediately provided to the treating therapist as well as archived for later Registry and scientific use. Subsequent reporting can be risk adjusted to any variable collected which yields robust insights as to idiopathic patient conditions. However, no PHI information will be available.

This randomized clinical trial aims to compare the efficacy of corticosteroid injection and tendon dry needling for the treatment of subacromial impingement syndrome.

Rotator cuff tendinopathy, also called subbracromial impingement syndrome, is one of the most important causes of anterior shoulder pain. Although exercise training is known as an effective intervention method in the treatment of rotator cuff/subacromial impingement problems, there is no definite consensus on which type of exercise is more effective. The aim of this study is to analyze and compare the effects of the Heavy Slow Resistance (HSR) training and eccentric exercise training on pain, function, supraspinatus tendon structure, muscle strength, range of motion, subjective perception of improvement and treatment satisfaction in individuals with subacromial shoulder pain associated with rotator cuff tendinopathy.

the aim of this study is to investigate the Effect of mulligan technique on sub-acromial space in patients with shoulder impingement syndrome

Introduction: Shoulder disorders are a common musculoskeletal problem causing pain and functional loss in different populations. Tendinopathies are a group of pathologies commonly diagnosed in patients with shoulder pain. Weakness of the rotator cuff musculature has already been documented in other studies, evidence in the literature suggests that patients with tendinopathies demonstrate decreased muscle activation, this is caused by pain, changes in nervous system processing and apparently also by structural processes that occur in the tendon .Treatment often involves resistance, isometric exercises aimed at altering pain and restoring function. Some studies have been investigating the use of ENMS (neuromuscular electrical stimulation) in patients undergoing surgical procedures on the shoulder, other studies have also investigated its use in tendinopathies of the lower limbs, as an effective way to decrease inhibition. Objective: The main objective of this study will be to analyze the muscle strength of internal and external rotation of symptomatic shoulders compared to asymptomatic ones when exposed to neuromuscular electrostimulation, associating muscle strength with joint function. Methodology: This will be a cross-sectional study. An expected total of 48 subjects will be divided into two groups, n=24 with tendinopathy of the rotator cuff, confirmed by clinical diagnosis and nuclear magnetic resonance imaging, the other group being healthy individuals, with no history of shoulder pain. These individuals will be evaluated by a first evaluator who will perform the eligibility of the subjects and collect the initial information, the second evaluator will perform the isometric strength evaluation with a manual dynamometer. Two batteries of tests will be performed in both groups, a conventional assessment of isometric strength and the other subject will be submitted to neuromuscular electrostimulation. These strength values in Kgf were normalized for each individual, being divided by the body mass index (BMI) and multiplied by 100, as already performed in previous studies. Expected results: The initial hypothesis is that patients who present with the studied condition when submitted to the strength test with muscular electrostimulation will demonstrate greater isometric strength than when they were tested without the device.

There will be no significant difference between scapular muscle strengthening and PNF exercise on improving function in patients with shoulder impingement syndrome.

Shoulder pain is a common musculoskeletal system complaint, accounting for 7-34% of patients in the clinic. The most common shoulder problem is subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS). Up to 45% of individuals with SIS may have unsuccessful treatment and still complain of symptoms after 2 years. This chronicity of pain may not be fully explained by structural injuries or damage, but may be related to sensorimotor changes. Decreased corticospinal excitability and increase inhibition have been found in individuals with SIS. These central motor changes may link to alteration in pain and nociception processing and the somatosensory system, which has been found in individuals with low back pain. Hyperalgesia has been found over both affected and unaffected shoulders in patients with SIS, indicating central and peripheral sensitization. However, no study has investigated whether there are changes in the central somatosensory system. Therefore, the objectives of this proposal are (1) to investigate the corticomotor and somatosensory system in patients with SIS (2) to investigate the relationship between the corticomotor and somatosensory alterations in patients with SIS. Subjects with chronic SIS and healthy subjects were recruited, with 32 people in each group. Electroencephalography (EEG) will be used to collect somatosensory activity, including somatosensory evoked potentials, spectral analysis of EEG oscillations and event-related spectral perturbation (ERSP) of the shoulder movement. Electromyography will be used to record muscle activity. Transcranial magnetic stimulation will be used to test corticomotor excitability, including active motor threshold, motor evoked potentials, cortical silent period, and intracortical inhibition and facilitation. The pressure pain threshold will be collected by a pressure algometer on the muscles of bilateral arms and legs. Pain intensity will be assessed with the Numeric Rating Scale. Shoulder function will be evaluated with the Disability of Arm, Shoulder and Hand questionnaire. Depression will be evaluated with Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D).

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).

COMBINED is a pragmatic single-arm feasibility study. The goal of this study is to evaluate the implementation of a physiotherapy-led intervention, The COMBINED approach, to facilitate ongoing refinements, including the strategies for implementation, in readiness for a definitive trial in people with a rotator cuff disorder. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1) What are the key domains of behaviour change influencing the implementation of The COMBINED approach among physiotherapists? 2) Can The COMBINED approach be delivered as intended? 3) Are there any refinements required to the intervention components? 4) What is the patient experience of receiving The COMBINED approach in an NHS setting?

The purpose of this pilot study is to conduct research to determine the most effective physical therapy treatment for a condition called shoulder impingement. This condition occurs when tissue in the shoulder is caught between the humerus (arm bone) and the scapula (shoulder blade). This causes pain when one tries to reach overhead or behind the back. Two treatment methods will be used in the study. The first method uses the traditional treatments of hands-on shoulder stretching, shoulder exercise, posture, and education. The second method will use the traditional methods of shoulder treatment in addition to treatment of the cervical spine. It is hypothesized that a group of patients between 40 and 70 years of age with signs and symptoms of shoulder impingement who receive physical therapy to the cervical spine and shoulder will report a higher level of functioning, will report less pain, and will gain more range of motion than a group of patients receiving physical therapy solely to the shoulder.
