About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Daily Life Activities in Patients With Rotator Cuff Syndrome

Pain is one of the most important factors affecting the quality of life. The quality of life of patients with pain and restricted shoulder movements can be affected in patients with Rotator Cuff Syndrome (RCS).

Read the detailed description

The aim of our study is to examine the effect of the pain on functional status, quality of life and physical activity levels in daily life activities of RCS patients.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Evaluation testsRCS cases between the ages of 19-64 (n:40) who agreed to participate were included in the study. Pain severity (Visual Analogue Scale - VAS), range of motion (Universal Goniometer), muscle test (Manual muscle test), upper extremity functional status and disability (Quick-DASH questionnaire), physical activity level (International Physical Activity Questionnaire - UFAA) ) and quality of life (Short Form-36 - SF-36) were evaluated
Receives: Other: Quality of life and daily living activities assessment tests

What is being measured

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

  1. Visual Analog Scale

    The Visual Analog Scale (VAS) is used to convert some values that cannot be measured numerically to digital. Two end definitions of the parameter to be evaluated are written on both ends of a 100 mm line and the patient is asked to indicate where his condition is appropriate by drawing a line or by placing a point or pointing on this line. In this study, the severity of pain was questioned as 1- Night pain 2- Rest pain 3- Activity pain 4- Lift pain and it was marked separately for each situation.

    Measured: 2 min

  2. The Shortened Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand Score

    The "Quick-DASH" (The Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand Score) questionnaire, which is the short form of the "DASH" questionnaire, was used to determine the level of activity and engagement from the upper side. The Turkish reliability and validity study of the questionnaire was carried out by Düger et al.. Each answer is scored from 1 to 5 from good to bad; 1: no difficulty, 2: mild difficulty, 3: moderate difficulty, 4: extreme difficulty, 5: not being able to do it at all. A score between 0-100 (0 = no disability, 100 = maximum disability) is obtained from each part of the Quick-DASH questionnaire.

    Measured: 10 min

  3. Short Form-36 (SF-36)

    Short Form SF-36 was used to evaluate the quality of life. SF-36 consists of 8 sub-dimensions consisting of 36 items in which physical and mental health is evaluated. The Turkish reliability and validity study of the questionnaire was carried out by Koçyiğit et al. [21]. There are two main subsections belonging to SF-36. In the physical health components subsection are included Physical function (PF), physical role (PR), body pain (BP) and general health status (GHS) sub-dimensions. Sub-dimensions related to mental health status are stated as vitality (VT), social function (SF), emotional role (RE), and mental health (MH).

    Measured: 10 min

  4. International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ)

    It has been explained that IPAQ is a safe and valid application in determining physical activity. The Turkish reliability and validity study of the questionnaire was carried out by Ozturk.

    The questionnaire consists of 4 separate sections and includes 7 questions in total. This questionnaire includes questions about physical activity for a minimum of 10 minutes in the last 7 days.

    Measured: 10 min

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Manual Muscle Test

    Shoulder flexion (Muscle (M)-FL), abduction (M-AB), extension (M-EX), adduction (M-AD), external rotation (M-ER) and internal rotation (M-İR) are scored by scoring between 0 and 5 in manual muscle test.

    Measured: 10 min

  2. Range of Motion

    Flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, internal rotation and external rotation range of motion were measured with a universal goniometer for the shoulder joint. The measurement values were recorded in degrees. Normal values for shoulder range of motion are 0-180º in flexion (FL) and abduction (AB), 0-45º in extension (EX) and adduction (AD), 0-90º in external rotation (ER) and 0-70º in internal rotation (IR).

    Measured: 10 min

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Rotator Cuff Syndrome, run by Istanbul Medipol University Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Jan 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye). Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Visual Analog Scale (time frame: 2 min). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. 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.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 Jan 2021.
