Active clinical trials for "Shoulder Pain"

The investigators aimed to evaluate the short-term efficacy of High Intensity LASER Therapy (HILT) and Ultrasound (US) treatment in chronic shoulder pain. It's a prospective, randomized, controlled, single blind study.141 patients were randomized into two groups, as HILT (n=71) and US (n=70) groups. HILT or US treatment was applied to the patients in addition to 14 sessions of Hotpack (Hp) + Balneotherapy + Exercise treatment. Pre-treatment (Pre-T), Post-treatment 1st day (Post-T1st day) and Post-T findings for the 30th day (Post-T 30th day) were recorded using the visual analog scale (VAS) and shoulder pain and disability index (SPADI) scoring.

Hemiplegic shoulder pain (HSP) is one of most complications after stroke. HSP would impede rehabilitation programs and the motor recovery of affected upper extremity. HSP was associated with impaired daily life activities and prolong hospital stay after stroke. Therefore, effective managements is important in stroke patients with HSP. Rotator cuffs injuries are related to HSP. Clinically, hyaluronic acid (HA) is used for rotator cuff injuries. Previous researchers reported that HA could provide pain relief, improved motion, and increased daily activities. In this study, fifty subacute stoke patients will be enrolled. These patients will be allocated into group A and B randomly. The patients in group A received HA injection while patients in group B received normal saline injection. Patients from both groups received injection for 3 times each on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd week. All the patients will still receive rehabilitation programs of physical therapy and occupational therapy. Each patient will receive physical, sonographic examinations, and stroke Specific Quality of Life Scale (SSQOL). The aims of this study are to investigate the benefits of HA injection on pain relief, motor function recovery, and life quality in subacute stroke patients with HSP before and after HA injection.

The main objective of the current study was to assess the analgesic effect achieved to short- and medium-term by the use of acupuncture on individuals with impingement syndrome of the shoulder, in comparison to the use of acupuncture at sham points. Furthermore, secondary objectives were also sought, such as the short- to medium-term functional recovery of the affected joint, knowing the possible influence that this has over the recovery of the laterality of the subject, as well as the development of a protocol to select points to treat pain affecting the shoulder area.

Insufflation pressure (IP) is the creation of a pressure barrier of air/gas within the abdomen to allow the surgeon more space to work during abdominal surgery. Shoulder pain is a common complaint from patients who have had abdominal surgery and the pain is thought to be related to the use of IP. In addition to anesthesia (which keeps you asleep during surgery), the current standard practice is to block the nerve-muscle junction with a type of drug called neuromuscular blockade (NMB) which paralyzes the abdominal muscles. This means that a lower level of insufflation pressure is needed by the surgeon. To reverse the effects of NMB after surgery, a drug called neostigmine is given. The goal of this clinical research study is to compare the use of standard-of-care moderate NMB and neostigmine to the use of deep NMB and a drug called Sugammadex when given to elderly patients (patients who are 65 years of age or older) who are scheduled to have robotic abdominal surgery. "Deep" and "moderate" in this study refers to the dose or strength of the NMB given. This is an investigational study. Sugammadex and neostigmine are FDA approved and commercially available for the reversal of NMB. It is considered investigational to compare Sugammadex and neostigmine to learn if the use of one or the other in elderly patients can reduce the level of shoulder pain after surgery. Up to 100 participants will be enrolled in this study. All will take part at MD Anderson.

Pain in the neck and shoulders is a musculoskeletal disorder that affects a significant number of individuals.The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of PBMT (with a device that combines low level laser therapy and light emitting diode therapy) in chronic pain relief of musculoskeletal origin in the neck and shoulders area.

It is currently unknown whether or not the improvement in pain and function related to a "steroid shot" for shoulder pain due to subacromial bursitis is important. This study seeks to determine whether 20 mg or 40 mg of either triamcinolone or methylprednisolone significantly affect improvement in shoulder pain 6 weeks after injection.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a small dose of Dexmedetomidine, when given either intravenously or as part of the interscalene nerve block solution, prolongs pain relief following shoulder surgery compared to local anesthetic solution alone.

The objective of this protocol is to compare degree of improvement can be achieved in patients with shoulder pain by treatment with Manipulative Techniques for the cervicothoracic spine versus home exercises.

Application of a belt for stabilization while exercising accelerate and optimize recovery in patients diagnosed with shoulder impingement syndrome.

The purpose of this study is to compare suprascapular nerve block with therapeutic ultrasound in stroke patients who have shoulder pain in weak side.
