NCT07053566
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of strengthening exercises targeting the latissimus dorsi muscle on acromiohumeral distance, shoulder function, and pain levels in individuals with rotator cuff tendinopathy. By increasing the activation of the latissimus dorsi, one of the shoulder adductor muscles, the exercises are expected to facilitate inferior gliding of the humeral head and improve subacromial distance. Individuals aged between 18 and 50 years with a diagnosis of rotator cuff tendinopathy will be included in the study. A total of 47 participants will be enrolled and randomly assigned to one of three groups: A group performing exercises targeting only the rotator cuff muscles, A group performing exercises targeting the latissimus dorsi muscle, A group performing a combination of both rotator cuff and latissimus dorsi exercises. The exercise interventions will be applied over a 12-week period. Before and after the intervention, the following outcomes will be assessed: Acromiohumeral distance (via ultrasound), Range of motion, Shoulder function and pain using the SPADI and WORC questionnaires, and Avoidance behavior using the Adap-Tr questionnaire.

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.
NCT05966298
Subacromial Impingement Syndrome (SIS) is one of the most common shoulder problems. The core region is considered a kinetic link that facilitates the transfer of torque and angular momentum between the upper and lower extremities during body movements. The decrease in core stabilization affects both trunk control and the quality of extremity movements depending on the kinetic chain in the body. The improvement in core stabilization balances the load transfer between the trunk and the extremities and reduces the asymmetry between the extremities. Core stabilization training should be included in rehabilitation programs as core stabilization is adversely affected in patients with SIS. For this reason, this study was planned to examine the effects of core stabilization training applied in addition to conventional treatment in patients with SIS on pain, range of motion, shoulder muscles strenght and core stability.
NCT06694402
Background: Subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS) is a common shoulder disorder characterized by pain, altered movement patterns, and functional impairment. Forty-four to sixty-five percents of the patients with SIS would develop chronic symptoms. Chronic subacromial impingement syndrome (CSIS) is involved in the alteration of central nervous system, such as somatosensory dysfunction and corticomotor changes. The treatments for these patients usually focus on shoulder control and strengthening exercise but no treatment has been found to be targeted on the alterations in somatosensory dysfunction. Focal muscle vibration (FMV) is a useful tool to provide proprioceptive stimulation and has showed short-term effects of improving sensorimotor performance in both healthy and diseased individuals when combined with exercise. To our knowledge, no study has used FMV combined with shoulder exercise for individuals with shoulder problems. Purpose: To investigate the effects of FMV combined with exercise on somatosensory activity, corticomotor excitability, pain and function in individuals with CSIS. Methods: This is a randomized control trial. We will recruit ninety subjects with CSIS to receive a 12-session treatment protocol of FMV combined with shoulder exercises. The subjects will be randomized into a treatment group or control group. While the treatment group will receive 20-minute FMV when doing strength training, the control group will have the vibrators attached on but without being turned on during strength training. Both groups will have a 10-20 minutes of shoulder control training following the FMV protocol. The outcomes will be measured before and after the 12-session treatment protocol and include measures of somatosensory activity (using Electroencephalography, EEG), corticomotor excitability (using transcranial magnetic stimulation, TMS), pressure pain threshold, depression scale, pain intensity in a numerical rating scale, and shoulder function. The somatosensory measures include somatosensory-evoked potentials and event-related potentials during arm elevation. Corticomotor measures include motor evoked potentials, active and rest motor threshold and cortical silent period as well as intracortical inhibitory and facilitatory mechanisms. Shoulder function will be measured with the disabilities of the arm, shoulder and hand scale, the patient-specific functional scale, and the global rating of change scale. Statistical analysis: The continuous and categorical variables of basic data will be analyzed by and independent t test and a Chi-square test, respectively. A two-way mixed ANOVA will be used to test between-group and within-group intervention effects. If there is a significant interaction effect, post hoc pairwise comparisons with Bonferroni correction will be used. The alpha level is set at 0.05.

Shoulder pain is the third most common musculoskeletal pain complaint in the world with an incidence of 7-30%. Subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS) is the most common cause of shoulder pain. Imaging in impingement syndrome is usually based on different imaging modalities. X-ray, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound are the most commonly used, and MRI is considered by many authors to be the most reliable imaging modality for evaluation of the rotator cuff because it allows evaluation of soft tissues as well as bony abnormalities such as subacromial osteophytes and acromioclavicular joint capsular hypertrophy. MRI allows the diagnosis of rotator cuff tears with greater interobserver reliability than ultrasound in assessing tear size, retraction and atrophy. Few studies have investigated the impact of pathologic findings on MRI on the degree of symptoms and functional impairment seen in these patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between shoulder pain and function and MRI findings in patients with subacromial impingement syndrome.
NCT05975801
Shoulder pain is the most common musculoskeletal problem after spine and knee complaints. Rotator cuff injuries (RCI) are the most common cause of shoulder pain. RCI includes a wide spectrum from subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS) to chronic tendinopathy, partial and total ruptures of the rotator cuff. In recent years there has been a renewed interest in traditional and complementary medicine (TCM) for various musculoskeletal problems. Cupping therapy, which is one of the most commonly used TCM methods, is one of the oldest medical applications with thousands of years of history. Although it is thought to be effective in many diseases, there are not enough studies in the literature about its effectiveness and mechanism of action. Our aim in this study is to investigate the effects of moving dry cupping therapy on pain, range of motion (ROM), functionality and quality of life in RCI.

BACKGROUND: Shoulder pain has been reported to be the third most common musculoskeletal presentation in primary care, after low back pain and knee pain. The prognosis for those presenting with musculoskeletal shoulder pain varies greatly amongst individuals, with 50% of people reporting symptoms 6 months after presenting in primary healthcare. Functional limitations, in addition to pain, are widespread and can interfere with job, hobbies, social, and sporting activities. They may also relate to psychological discomfort and a lower quality of life. Continuous computer uses without a break, awkward postures, and the duration and frequency of laptop use have all been identified as risk factors for musculoskeletal diseases. The most prevalent cause, accounting for 70% of cases, is rotator cuff dysfunction. Rotator cuff disorders are frequently associated with short and long-term impairment and discomfort, with approximately fifty percent of patients experiencing pain or functional restrictions for up to two years. The majority of shoulder pain concerns are treated in primary care by physiotherapists and general practitioners. Myofascial release is a common hands-on method manual therapy technique that uses carefully guided low load, long duration mechanical pressures to modify the myofascial complex with promising results in improving functional level. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of myofascial release in patient with rotator cuff tendinopathy. METHOD: The design of this study is a double blinded Randomize control trail. Forty-two participants will be divided into one of two groups, group one will have strengthening exercises, range of motion exercise, and ice application, group two will perform the same exercises with ice application plus myofascial release. Patient will be followed for one month, two session per week and the session duration will be 30-45 mins. Assessment and re-assessment will be done by independent physical therapist. All patients will be assessed by using quick DASH, VAS, ROM, and Kessler psychological distress scale.

Aim: The aim of this study is to compare the effects of platelet-rich plasma application with additional exercise and only exercise application on pain, muscle strength, functionality and quality of life in subacromial impingement syndrome. Material and Method: 56 patients who applied to the clinic with the complaint of shoulder pain and were diagnosed with Subacromial impingement syndrome between February 2022 and February 2023 will be included in the study. After giving the necessary verbal and written information about the study, the patients with informed consent will be randomized and divided into 2 groups of 28 people. The cases will be randomly divided into groups and their treatment will be done by the same researchers. Evaluation will be carried out by another investigator blinded to which group the participants belong to before and after the treatment. After the initial evaluations are completed, the 1st group will be given a home exercise program that they will apply every day for 8 weeks, and the 2nd group will be given 2 doses of PRP with an interval of 2 weeks in addition to the same exercise program. Initial evaluations of the patients will be made before the treatment and will be re-evaluated at the end of the 6th month. Personal information with the Sociodemographic Data Form prepared by us; pain severity by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS); shoulder functionality will be evaluated with the Constant Murley Score, joint range of motion with the Universal Goniometer, muscle strength with the "Hand-held" dynamometer, and quality of life with the SF-36. Statistical Analysis: SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) (SPSS 21.0) statistical program will be used in the statistical analysis of the data. Mann Whitney-U Test will be used to determine the difference between the efficacy of treatments. P \< 0.05 will be considered statistically significant in all analyses.
NCT05530005
Pain and limitation of shoulder mobility resulting from sub-shoulder syndrome called sub acromion impingement syndrome (SIS) are a big social problem in highly developed countries. This work aims to compare the method of treating SIS ailments taking into account the monitored exercises on their own- hands off, to the traditional method of individual physiotherapy considering manual therapy, TENS and local cryotherapy- hands on. The study will qualify people aged 18-50 years without previous injections, surgical procedures and physiotherapy within the shoulder joint. The initial examination of the participants will include: ultrasound examination, Neer test, functional mobility test according to FMS, clinical examination: palpation of the joint area, cross body adduction test, radial artery pulse test, numerical pain scale 0-10, DASH questionnaire. After the initial checkups, 60 people will be qualified for the proper examination. Selected participants will be divided into two groups of 30 people, each group consisting of 15 women and 15 men. The first group will undergo self-therapy for 3-5 months. The subjects will exercise independently for about 1.5 hours a day, three times a week. Every two weeks, each subject will be admitted to a follow-up visit, during which the physiotherapist will recommend another set of exercises and check the progress. The second group will undergo traditional physiotherapy three times a week for a period of three months. After a period of 3-5 months, both groups will undergo the same examination as initially. The results of both studies will be compared in both groups. The groups will then be compared to each other.
