Effect of Therapeutic Ultrasound Combined With Exercise on Subacromial Impingement Syndrome
Effects of Therapeutic Ultrasound Combined With Exercise in the Rehabilitation of Individuals Diagnosed With Subacromial Impingement Pain Syndrome: a Randomized, Controlled, Double-blind Clinical Trial.
The aim of this study is to analyze the effects of Therapeutic Ultrasound combined with a Therapeutic Exercises program on pain reduction and improvement of function, range of motion (ROM), and functionality in individuals with Subacromial Impingement Syndrome. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Can the application of therapeutic ultrasound combined with exercise reduce pain and improve the ability to perform daily activities (functionality) in patients with Subacromial Impingement Syndrome? Does combining therapeutic ultrasound with exercise improve pain and functionality in patients with Subacromial Impingement Syndrome more effectively than using exercise alone to treat this syndrome? Researchers compared the application of therapeutic ultrasound combined with therapeutic exercises with placebo ultrasound (equipment programmed similarly to active ultrasound but emitting ultrasound waves) plus therapeutic exercises to determine if adding active ultrasound to the treatment is more effective than performing exercises alone in treating patients with Subacromial Impingement Syndrome.
Patients should be evaluated before the start of treatment, eight weeks after the start of treatment, and six months after the end of treatment.
Patients will receive therapeutic ultrasound or placebo combined with exercise 3 times a week for 8 weeks.

Misura Descrizione |
Lasso di tempo |
|---|---|---|
|
Pain Intensity
Lasso di tempo: Baseline, Week 12, and Day 240.
|
Pain intensity was assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), separately for pain at rest and pain during activities of daily living (ADLs).
The VAS ranges from 0 to 10, where 0 indicates no pain and 10 indicates the worst imaginable pain.
Higher scores indicate greater pain intensity.
|
Baseline, Week 12, and Day 240.
|
|
Shoulder pain and disability
Lasso di tempo: Baseline, Week 12, and Day 240.
|
Shoulder pain and disability were assessed using the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI).
The questionnaire consists of 13 items distributed across two domains: pain, with five items, and disability/function, with eight items.
Each item is scored from 0 to 10.
The total score and domain scores are converted into a percentage scale ranging from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating worse shoulder pain and disability.

Functional shoulder performance
Lasso di tempo: Baseline, Week 12, and Day 240.
|
Functional shoulder performance was assessed using the Modified University of California at Los Angeles Shoulder Rating Scale (Modified UCLA Shoulder Rating Scale).
The scale includes five domains: pain, function, active forward flexion range of motion, manual strength testing for forward flexion, and patient satisfaction.
The total score ranges from 0 to 35 points, with higher scores indicating better shoulder function.
