What is being measured

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

  1. change in the thickness of supraspinatus tendon

    Ultrasonography

    Measured: before start of treatment and 4 weeks following end of treatment

  2. change in pain intesity

    VAS ( visual analog scale score)

    Measured: before start of treatment and 4 weeks following end of treatment , score from 0-10 ,0=no pain , 10= unbearable pain

  3. Change in shoulder range of motion

    electro goniometer

    Measured: before start of treatment and 4 weeks following end of treatment

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Function of the Upper Limb

    Quick DASH Questionnaire score

    Measured: before start of treatment and 4 weeks following end of treatment, it measure the disability/symptom section (11 items, scored 1-5)

  2. measure weight in kg and height in cm

    Weight and height scale for determining BMI

    Measured: before starting the assessment

Contact Shady Alkadry (+201128398533, shad.bahaa@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

change in the thickness of supraspinatus tendon (time frame: before start of treatment and 4 weeks following end of treatment). 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?
