About this study

Official title: Effects of Overload Progressive in the Treatment of Shoulder Impingement Syndrome Associated With Scapular Dyskinesis: a Randomized Controlled Trial

Seventy subjects with shoulder impingement syndrome associated with scapular dyskinesis will be recruited and randomized into two groups of treatment. The group "a" will receive a strenghtening protocol with progressive overload during 20 sessions and group "b" will receive the same protocol with minimal load, without change during the 20 sessions. The primary outcomes measures will be pain, function, quality of life, global impression of recovery. The change will be measure from baseline at 10 weeks (after 20 sessions), 3 and 6 months (follow-up). The secundary outcomes will be disability, quality of life measure by other instruments, shoulder muscle strength and scapular 3d kinematic variables. For these data, change will be measure from baseline at 10 weeks (after 20 sessions).

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in Numeric pain rating scale (0-10)

    Measured: baseline, 10 weeks, 3 months and 6 months

  2. Change in SPADI (Shoulder Pain and Disability Index) Questionnaire (0-100)

    Measured: baseline, 10 weeks, 3 months and 6 months

  3. Change in ASES (American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons) Questionnaire (0-100)

    Measured: baseline, 10 weeks, 3 months and 6 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Disabilities

    DASH (Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand) Questionnaire (0-100)

    Measured: Change from baseline at 10 weeks

  2. Quality of life

    WORC (The Western Ontario Rotator Cuff Index) Questionnaire (0-100)

    Measured: Change from baseline at 10 weeks

  3. Muscle Strength

    Shoulder internal rotation, external rotation, adduction and abduction muscles measured by handheld dynamometer

    Measured: Change from baseline at 10 weeks

  4. Scapular kinematic

    3D data of scapula at 30, 60, 90 and 120° of shoulder abduction

    Measured: Change from baseline at 10 weeks

  5. Global impression of recovery

    GPE (global perceived effect) scale (-5 to +5)

    Measured: Change from baseline at 10 weeks, 3 months and 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Strengthening protocol with progressive load and Strengthening protocol without progressive load in people with Shoulder Impingement Syndrome, run by University of Nove de Julho at 1 site in Brazil.

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 5 inclusion and 10 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 11 Oct 2017. 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 Brazil. 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?

Change in Numeric pain rating scale (0-10) (time frame: baseline, 10 weeks, 3 months and 6 months). The study lists 3 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 11 Oct 2017.
