About this study

Official title: Randomized Controlled Trial, Manual Treatment and Classical Physiotherapy for One Group, PNF and Classical Physiotherapy for Other Group

This study aim was to compare the effectiveness of manual treatment and proprioceptive neuromuscular fasilitation (PNF) techniques in patients with adhesive capsulitis. One group will receive classical physical therapy including hotpack,ultrason and in additon manual treatment application. Other group receive classical physical therapy including hotpack, ultrason and in addition PNF techniques. Two group will be made wand exercise at home three times a day 10 times at one session.

Read the detailed description

There is no consensus physical therapy treatment protocol in adhesive capsulitis. It is because it etiology and pathophysiology is unknown. Also it has different clinical stage. PNF techniques often used by physical therapist in adhesive capsulitis aim increasing range of motion, improving muscle strenght and decreasing pain. PNF techniques improves neuromusculer control of central nervous system via stimulating muscle spindles, golgi tendon organs and other receptors in connective tissue. However, there is limited evidence effectivenes of PNF techniques in adhesive capsulitis.

Other technique often used by physical therapist in adhesive capsulitis is manual treatment. Manual treatment decreases pain and improves function. It re-arrange glenohumeral joint arthrocinematic. It diminishes capsule fibrosis.

There is no reasearh aimed comparing the PNF and manual treatment. Our aim was to compare the effectiveness of manual treatment and PNF techiques in patients with adhesive capsulitis.

edit armsActive comparatorclassical physiotherapy and manual treatment. Classical physiotherapy consisting of hotpack and ultrason. Hotpack duration is 20 minutes and ultrason duration is 5 minutes in one session. Manual treatment is consist of scapular mobilization, glenohumeral joint inferior and posterior mobilization. Treatment modality is implemented by physical therapist three times a week for 8 weeks.

Hotpack duration is 20 minutes and ultrason duration is 5 minutes in one session. Scapular PNF and upper extremity PNF (flexion-abduction-external rotation) pattern. Treatment programme was implemented by physical therapist three times a week for 8 weeks.
Receives: Other: Manual treatment

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Range of motion change

    Flexion, abduction, internal and external rotation range of motion will assessed with universal goniometer.

    Measured: change from baseline range of motion assessment at 8 weeks

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Subjective pain assessment: VAS

    Rest, activity and night pain will be assessed by Visuel Analog Scale (VAS). It is self reported pain scale.We will question the intensty of shoulder region pain at rest, night and activity by VAS. The pain intensity was scored on a 100-mm visual analog scale (VAS) where 0 cm indicated "no pain" and 10 cm indicated "worst imaginable pain.

    Measured: Change from baseline subjective pain assessment at 8 weeks

  2. Scapular dyskinesis

    Scapular dyskinesis will be assessed with Lateral Scapular Slide Test. To measure we used tape measure.

    Measured: Change from baseline scapular dyskinesis assessment at 8 weeks

  3. Muscle strenght

    Shoulder complex muscle strenght will be assssed by muscle dynamometer.

    Measured: Change from baseline muscle strenght assessment at 8 weeks

  4. General arm function

    Shoulder function will be assessed using Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand Questionnare (DASH),

    Measured: Change from baseline shoulder function assessment at 8 weeks

  5. Health quality depent on health

    Health quality depent on health will be assessed using the "Quality of Life (SF-36)" questionnare. Assesses 8 dimensions of health with 36 items such as physical function, social function, role constraints, mental health, vitality (energy), pain and general perception of health. Each subsection of the quality of life questionnaire is scored between 0 and 100 points. Higher score indicates better outcome.

    Measured: Change from baseline health quality assessment at 8 weeks

  6. Health quality is not related to health

    Health quality is not related to health will be assessed using the " World Health Organization Quality of Life Assessment (EUROHIS-QOL)". It contains 8 questions. Two of the questions include general health and general quality of life questions, while the remaining 6 questions consist of questions about physical, spiritual, environmental and social dimensions.These questions how long the patient has experienced some things in the last two weeks, what they can do, whether it is good or satisfying, what they think about the quality of life, health and other aspects of life. The total score is calculated by summing the items. The total score is between 8 and 40 points. Higher score indicate worse outcome.

    Measured: Change from baseline health quality assessment at 8 weeks

  7. general health level

    general healt level will be assessed using "Health Assessment Questionnaire". Health Assessment Questionnare two to three questions in each of eight areas of activities of daily living (ADL): dressing and grooming, arising. eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and activities. The total score ranges between 0-24. The highest score indicate more disability level.

    Measured: Change from baseline general health level assessment at 8 weeks

  8. Self rated upper extremity disablity and symptoms.

    Self rated upper extremity disablity and symptoms will be assessed using the "Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand Questionnaire (DASH)" survey. 30 items (total score): 6 items about symptoms (3 about pain, 1 for tingling/numb-ness, 1 for weakness, 1 for stiffness) and 24 about function (21 about physical function, 3 about social/role function). The patients point out the appropriate response between 1-5 points according to the Likert system for each question (1: no difficulty, 2: mild difficulty, 3: moderate difficulty, 4: extreme difficulty, 5: no disability). A score of 0-100 points is obtained from each section according to the results of the DASH survey ( 0=no disability, 100=most severe disability). 0 score indicate best and 100 score indicate worst outcome. Higher values represent worse outcome.

    Measured: Change from baseline general health level assessment at 8 weeks

  9. Self-assessment of symptoms and function of the shoulder

    Self-assessment of symptoms and function of the shoulder will be assessed using the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI).The SPADI total score is the unweightedmean of the pain and function subscores.Originally, 0 score indicate best and 100 score indicate worst.

    Measured: Change from baseline general health level assessment at 8 weeks

  10. To assess functional disability of the shoulder

    Functional disability of the shoulder will be assessed using the Simple Shoulder Test.Total score of 12 items: 2 about function related to pain, 7 about function/strength,and 3 about range of motion.0 score indicate worst and 100 score indicate best function.

    Measured: Change from baseline general health level assessment at 8 weeks

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Range of motion change (time frame: change from baseline range of motion assessment at 8 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
