Active clinical trials for "Shoulder Pain"

High intensity laser therapy (HILT) has been considered as a treatment option for shoulder pain. To our knowledge, the effectiveness of HILT in patients with hemiplegic shoulder pain (HSP) with partial thickness rotator cuff tear (PTRCT) is unknown. In this study, we intended to investigate the effectiveness of HILT on pain, disability, function and quality of life in patients with HSP accompanied by PTRCT.

The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of multiple doses of "Milnacipran" to a placebo dose in subjects with Chronic Shoulder Pain.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether botulinum toxin type A injected into muscles around the shoulder is effective in treating shoulder pain and improving function in patients with shoulder pain and involuntary muscle tightness after a stroke.

This is a single-center, prospective, randomised, controlled study, with two parallel groups, designed to assess the clinical impact of a digital exercise program against conventional rehabilitation for shoulder tendonitis. The hypothesis is that all the clinical outcomes measured will significantly improve after the program, and patients using this novel system will attain at least the same outcomes than the ones attained by the conventional PT group.

In this study, it is investigated that whether Bobath approach is superior to conventional physiotherapy in terms of improving hemiplegic shoulder pain, spasticity and upper extremity functionality in stroke patients.

Hemiplegic shoulder pain is the most common poststroke painful condition. Hemiplegic shoulder pain reduces range of motion (ROM) and hand function, resulting in limited daily life activity and decreased quality of life. In the literature, the effectiveness of suprascapular nerve block and subacromial injection in hemiplegia patients with shoulder pain has been previously evaluated, but these injection treatments have not been compared. Therefore, the aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of suprascapular nerve block and subacromial injection on pain, shoulder (ROM), function and quality of life in hemiplegia patients with shoulder pain.

Postoperative pulmonary complications after thoracotomy cause morbidity and mortality. Although the causes of postoperative pulmonary complication are multifactorial, respiratory muscle dysfunction is a contributing factor to the development of postoperative pulmonary complication. This phenomenon has been explained by changes in respiratory muscle mechanics and operative function. Exercise interventions following lung resection have been shown to be associated with benefits on functional capacity, quality of life, shoulder pain, and shoulder function. Following thoracotomy, postoperative pulmonary complications are a significant cause of morbidity and cause significant increase in health care costs, intensive care and hospital stay, and patient discomfort. Conventional physiotherapy and rehabilitation program applied after thoracotomy reduces hospital stay and incidence of atelectasis. Thoracotomy may also result in long-term limitation of shoulder function and range of motion, reduced muscle strength, chronic pain, and reduced health-related quality of life. Physiotherapy program; It provides some benefits such as reduction of pain, improvement of shoulder function and physical components of quality of life. Based on these findings; It is recommended that physiotherapists provide a postoperative exercise program aimed at reducing shoulder dysfunction and pain, including progressive shoulder and rib cage exercises and a home program after discharge. In recent years, the popularity of Tai Chi, Qigong and yoga, also known as body-mind exercises in the treatment of chronic diseases, has increased.

Shoulder pain is a common, debilitating problem for persons with Spinal cord injuries (SCI). Shoulder pain affects approximately 40-50% of the total population of persons with paraplegia (those with SCI with full use of their upper extremities and no or limited use of their lower extremities). Among the etiologies of shoulder pain in persons with paraplegia, overuse syndrome is the most common. Shoulder overuse syndrome in a person with paraplegia is the result of high activity demands and high mechanical load on the upper extremity during activities such as wheelchair propulsion, transferring with the arms, and performing activities of daily living from a wheelchair height, resulting in increased overhead activity. The pain as a result of overuse syndrome can limit the patient's participation in occupational and physical therapy as well as limit performance of activities of daily living and participation in usual life activities. An alternative treatment for shoulder pain with evidence to support efficacy in the able bodied population is Manual Therapy (MT). Unfortunately, there have been no prior research studies published examining the therapeutic efficacy of MT for overuse injuries of the shoulder in patients with paraplegia. This study will determine if MT, is efficacious to reduce pain in this population. A total of 20 patients with paraplegia identified in the outpatient clinic at Craig Hospital with overuse syndrome of the shoulder will be enrolled in the study.

In breast cancer patients late-term upper limb sequelae, such as shoulder pain and impaired shoulder function remain common after primary breast cancer surgery. The aim of this trial is to evaluate whether an expert assessment of shoulder impairments, followed by an individualised treatment plan, is superior to a minimal physiotherapeutic rehabilitation program in reducing shoulder symptoms, assessed 12 weeks after initiation of treatment, among women with late-term shoulder impairments after primary breast cancer surgery.

Various stretches are used to lengthen the posterior shoulder capsule. No study has reported the comparison of the pragmatic posterior capsular stretch and cross body stertch
