About this study
Official title: The Effectiveness of Mulligan and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Fasciliation Techiniques in Rotator Cuff Pathology: A Randomized Controlled Double-blind Study.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of Mulligan Mobilization techniques, Mobilization with Movement (MWMs) and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) techniques, Hold-Relax Active Movement Technique, on pain, normal joint range of motion, proprioception, scapular dyskinesia and functional status in individuals with rotator cuff syndrome.
A total of 60 people were included in the study: 20 participants in the censervative rehabilitation group (Conservative Treatment), 20 participants in the Treatment A (Mulligan Mobilization Application) Group, and 20 participants in the Treatment B (PNF Application) Group. Individuals were treated for 5 days for 4 weeks. Pain before and after treatment with Visual Analog Scale; joint range of motion with goniometer; With proprioception Angle Repetition Test; Scapular dyskinesia with Lateral Scapular Slide Test; quality of life with SF-36; shoulder functionality was assessed with the Western Ontario Rotator Cuff Scale (WORC).

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing conservative rehabilitation, mullgan mobilization techniques and pnf in people with Rotator Cuff Injuries, run by Istanbul University - Cerrahpasa 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 3 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Jan 2024. 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?
goniometer (time frame: 12 months). The study lists 6 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 19 Jan 2024.
