Active clinical trials for "Shoulder Impingement Syndrome"

A randomized controlled trial will be conducted to examine the effectiveness of a traditional home exercise program versus 2 kinetic chain home exercise programs on treatment outcome of overhead athletes with shoulder impingement syndrome. Primary outcome measures are reduction of pain and disability, and improvement in functionality and sports performance. Secondary outcome measures are strength, mobility, flexibility and functional performance.

This study evaluates the addition of a high dose of simple home-based elastic band strengthening exercises to usual care in patients with subacromial impingement syndrome. Half of the participants receive instructions in simple home-based elastic band strengthening exercises in addition to usual care, while the other half receive usual care.

Objective: The investigators aimed to compare the effectiveness of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) and interferential currents (IC) to improve shoulder functionality and to reduce perceived pain in patients with subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS). Design: Thirty-six patients with unilateral shoulder pain and diagnosed as having SIS were randomly assigned into two groups: TENS (n=18; 51±7 years) and IC (n=18; 47±6 years). Patients in both groups received fifteen 30-min sessions of the assigned treatment for a period of 3 weeks. Before and after the treatment, shoulder pain was measured using a 100-mm visual analog scale and shoulder functionality was measured using the Constant-Murley scale.

It is a single-blind randomized controlled clinical trial to evaluate the effectiveness of neurocognitive therapeutic exercise in subjects affected by shoulder impingement syndrome in comparison with traditional therapeutic exercise. The traditional exercise protocol contains mainly strengthening exercises, stretching exercises, Codman's pendulum exercises and exercises against elastic band resistance. The neurocognitive exercise protocol contains ten exercises involving specific instruments (e.g., table inclined with a board with five concentric circles, sponges of various texture). Each subject, randomly assigned to either neurocognitive therapeutic exercise (group 1) or traditional therapeutic exercise (group 2), will be submitted to one-hour session for three times a week for five weeks. The outcome measures used will be the Quick-DASH questionnaire, the Constant-Murley shoulder outcome score, the ASES score, a visual analogic scale (VAS) and the assessment will be performed at baseline (T0), at the end of treatment protocol (T1), at 3 months (T2) and 6 months (T3) from the end of treatment.

The purposes of this study are to: determine if a rehabilitation program that consists of exercise and manual therapy reduces pain and improves quality of life in patients with shoulder subacromial impingement syndrome; determine which patients are likely to respond to this rehabilitation program and which patients are not likely to respond to this rehabilitation program The hypotheses are: the rehabilitation treatment program will result in significant changes in pain and quality of life there will be items from the history and examination that will identify those patients who respond favorably and those who do not respond favorably to rehabilitation at 6 weeks, 3, 6 and 12 months.

The purpose of the study is to explore the potential usefulness of a heated lidocaine 70 mg/tetracaine 70 mg topical patch for the treatment of pain associated with shoulder impingement syndrome

Surgical repair of full thickness tears of the rotator cuff is a controversial issue, with several procedures currently being used to treat the tear. The two most common treatments at this point in time are arthroscopic cuff repair with and without acromioplasty. However, an arthroscopic cuff repair without acromioplasty may offer the same degree of improvement as one that includes acromioplasty, but without threatening the shoulder stability that is provided by the acromion and coracoacromial ligament. This prospective study examines the hypothesis that appropriate shoulder function can be restored through the execution of the traditional arthroscopic cuff repair without acromioplasty.

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.

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

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.
