Read the detailed description
Kinesio tape and dry needling were compared for the management of rotator cuff tendinopathy
- Conditions
- Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy
- Being tested
- kinesio tape, Dry needling
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
kinesio tapeOther
kinesio tape was applied over the specific muscle of rotator cuff
Dry needlingOther
dry needling was applied over the affected muscles
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Group A | Experimental | . Group A was given kinesio tape.Total six sessions of each intervention were given to each patient at a rate of two sessions per week along with the 10 minutes of interferential therapy and 10 minutes of moist packs to each patient Receives: Other: kinesio tape |
| Group B | Active comparator | . Group A was given dry needling. Total six sessions of each intervention were given to each patient at a rate of two sessions per week along with the 10 minutes of interferential therapy and 10 minutes of moist packs to each patient Receives: Other: Dry needling |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
PNS
Pain numeric Scale consists of 10 scores. 0 means no pain and 10 means worst pain ever
Measured: will be used to assess at baseline after 3 weeks
SF-36
short form 36 is used to measure the quality of life. lower scores means lower quality of life and ligher score means better quality of life
Measured: will be used to assess at baseline after 3 weeks
