About this study

Official title: Comparison of Clinical and Ultrasonographic Parameters of Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy Patients With and Without Nocturnal Pain

This study aimed to investigate the effects of nocturnal pain on clinical and ultrasonographic parameters in patients with rotator cuff tendinopathy.

Read the detailed description

Thirty patients with nocturnal pain, 30 patients without nocturnal pain, and 30 healthy subjects were included in the study. The demographic characteristics and body mass indexes of the patients were recorded. The visual analogue scale was used to determine pain severity. The American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Scale Assessment, Short Form-36 and Beck Depression Inventory were used to determine patients' shoulder function, general quality of life and depression levels, respectively. The peak systolic velocity and resistive index of anterior circumflex humeral artery was assessed with power doppler ultrasonography.The peak systolic velocity and resistive index of anterior circumflex humeral artery values of the affected and unaffected sides were compared.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Musculoskeletal Pain, run by Suleyman Demirel University.

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 1 inclusion and 17 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 15 Mar 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Anterior circumflex humeral artery peak systolic velocity (time frame: 1 week). The study lists 2 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 15 Mar 2018.
