Descripción detallada
Tendinopathy is a condition in which pain arises on tendon near origin or insertion due to repetitive activities and reduced functional level, it occurs when the tendon does not properly heal.
Thirty percentages of tendinopathies in musculoskeletal conditions are shoulder pain related where supraspinatus tendinitis is the third most prevalent problem.
The primary function of the supraspinatus muscle is shoulder abduction, particularly movements that elevate the arm overhead. During these motions, the supraspinatus tendon repeatedly passes beneath the acromion process of the scapula, which can result in impingement and subsequent inflammation. If this condition progresses, an unexpected force or trauma may cause partial or complete rupture of the tendon.
Phonophoresis was first used to treat polyarthritis of hand by driving hydrocortisone ointment into inflamed areas in 1994. Since then it has been used in the treatment of various dermatological and musculoskeletal disorders.
The major medications used today with phonophoresis include the anti-inflammatories (cortisol, dexamethasone, salicylates) and local anaesthetics (lidocaine). Cameroy reports success using Carbocaine phonophoresis before closed reduction of Colles fractures.
The main purpose of phonophoresis is to achieve a suitable and fast concentration of drug in the tissue without inactivating the drug molecules with no side effects. In this efficient method, this has had wide utility in physical therapy and sports medicine. The drug is applied locally at the target site and messaged with a therapeutic ultrasound applicator.
Ozone therapy is a potential minimally invasive, conservative treatment that can be used alone or in conjunction with other therapies to help people with musculoskeletal diseases perform better and experience less pain. According to various studies, the effectiveness and safety of ozone therapy have primarily been researched in cases of knee osteoarthritis and on back pain.
Several papers suggested relevant medical features of O3, including inflammatory modulation and circulatory stimulation, with multiple applications in several medical fields including wound healing, ischemic disorders, infections and chronic inflammatory conditions like musculoskeletal disorders.
In the available literature there is no studies were done to identify the effect of ozonated gel phonophoresis in management of patients with chronic supraspinatus tendinitis grade I & II.
So this study may add a piece of information to the therapists in the governmental hospitals and private clinics to be aware about the efficacy of this approach during dealing with patients of chronic supraspinatus tendinitis grade I & II.

Experimental: ozonated gel phonophoresis + conventional treatment
Twenty patients will receive ozonated gel phonophoresis in addition to conventional treatment, three times per week for four weeks. |
Patients will receive ultrasonic with ozonated gel as a coupling medium (phonophoresis) (1 MHz, 1 W/cm2 continuous mode) for 5 min, three times per week for four weeks. Patients will receive conventional treatment consisting of hot pack application and stretching exercises targeting the upper trapezius and pectoralis minor muscles. Stretching will be performed for three repetitions, each held for 30 seconds with 30 seconds of rest between repetitions. This will be followed by strengthening exercises for the external shoulder rotators, lower trapezius, and serratus anterior muscles using color-coded elastic resistance bands, performed as three sets of ten repetitions for each muscle group.Treatment sessions will be conducted three times per week for four weeks. |

Assessment of Pain intensity of shoulder joint
Periodo de tiempo: 4 weeks
|
Pain intensity of the shoulder joint will be assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) in patients with chronic supraspinatus tendinitis. Patients will be asked to place a mark on a horizontal line to indicate the intensity of their pain, where the left end represents no pain and the right end represents the worst pain imaginable. VAS scores will be interpreted as follows: 0-30 indicates mild symptoms, 31-60 indicates moderate symptoms, and 61-100 indicates severe symptoms. |

Assessment of Functional disability
Periodo de tiempo: 4 weeks
|
The Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand Scale (Quick DASH; Q-DASH) will be used to evaluate shoulder dysfunction. The QuickDASH consists of 11 items extracted from the original 30-item DASH questionnaire, including 8 function/disability items and 3 symptom items. Each item is scored on a 5-point scale ranging from 1 (no difficulty) to 5 (unable to do), with total scores ranging from 0 to 100, where higher scores indicate greater disability. |

Assessment of Shoulder abduction range of motion
Periodo de tiempo: 4 weeks
|
A digital goniometer will be used to assess shoulder joint abduction range of motion in patients with chronic supraspinatus tendinitis before and after the treatment sessions. Measurements will be taken with the patient in the supine position. The fulcrum of the goniometer will be centered at the anterior aspect of the acromion process, the stationary arm will be aligned parallel to the midline of the torso, and the moving arm will be aligned with the midline of the humerus, pointing toward the medial epicondyle of the elbow. |

Assessment of Shoulder External Rotation range of motion
Periodo de tiempo: 4 weeks
|
Shoulder joint external rotation range of motion will also be assessed using a digital goniometer before and after the treatment sessions in patients with chronic supraspinatus tendinitis. The patient will be positioned supine during measurement. The fulcrum of the goniometer will be centered over the olecranon process of the elbow, the stationary arm will be aligned perpendicular to the floor, and the moving arm will be aligned with the ulna, pointing toward the ulnar styloid process. |
