The transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is a non-expensive, safe, feasible modality, used recently for the treatment of MPS with promising but limited results. The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of acupuncture-like TENS (AL-TENS) vs conventional TENS (C-TENS) in the treatment of active myofascial trigger points. Methods This randomized controlled trial study was carried out with 60 consecutive patients with active trapezius trigger points referred to Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinic. Participants randomly assigned to receive AL-TENS, C-TENS or sham TENS (S-TENS). The Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Pressure Pain Thresholds (PPTs), and neck range of motion (ROM) were measured at baseline, after the first treatment sessions, after the final treatment session, and 3 months after the end of the last treatment session. Patients function was evaluated by Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) at baseline, after the final treatment sessions, and 3 months after the end of intervention. Results The interaction effect of time and group was significantly different when evaluating VAS (df = 4.65, F = 2.50, p = 0.038) and DASH (df = 2.63, F = 7.25, p  Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/a [...] Permalink : https://bib.vinci.be/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=286808 [article]

Continuous shortwave diathermy with exercise reduces pain and improves function in Lateral Epicondylitis more than sham diathermy: A randomized controlled trial / Arash Babaei-Ghazani in Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies, Vol. 24, n° 1 (January 2020)

Conservative approaches include using thermal and electrical agents. The aim of this study was to explore the effectiveness of shortwave diathermy on pain, function and grip strength of patients with chronic lateral epicondylitis. A randomized placebo-controlled design with concealed allocation, assessor blinding and intention-to-treat analysis was conducted. Methods: Fifty patients suffering from lateral epicondylitis for more than 3 months, without any systemic diseases or history of other pathologies, were divided into two groups. In both groups, the patients were instructed to perform specific stretching and strengthening exercises. In addition, the patients in the experimental group, received 15 min of 40–60 W, continuous short wave diathermy while sham diathermy was applied for the control group. The primary outcome measure was pain and the secondary outcome measures were functional ability and pain free grip strength. Outcomes were assessed at the base line, after the 5th and the 10th session of treatment as well as after 3 months. Results: Mixed ANOVA analysis showed significant improvement in both groups. Meanwhile, there was a significant interaction effect of time and group on all outcome measures implying the greater improvement in pain, function and grip strength in the group receiving real diathermy. Conclusions: Adding continuous short wave diathermy to a specific regimen of exercises, reduces pain and improves function in patients suffering from chronic lateral epicondylitis more than sham diathermy and exercise.

Does ultrasound therapy add to the effects of exercise and mobilization in frozen shoulder? A pilot randomized double-blind clinical trial / Safoora Ebadi in Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies, 2017/4 (2017)

[article]  inJournal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies > 2017/4 (2017) . - pp.781-788 Titre : Does ultrasound therapy add to the effects of exercise and mobilization in frozen shoulder? A pilot randomized double-blind clinical trial Type de document : Article Auteurs : Safoora Ebadi, Auteur ; Bijan Forogh, Auteur ; Ehsan Fallah, Auteur Article en page(s) : pp.781-788 Langues : Anglais (eng) Descripteurs : HE Vinci Bursite ; Douleur ; Ondes ultrasonores Mots-clés : Amplitude articulaire Résumé : Objective This study intended to determine the extent to which Ultrasound could add to the effects of exercise and manual therapy in the rehabilitation treatment of primary adhesive capsulitis. Design A pilot double blind randomized clinical trial was carried out on 50 patients suffering from primary adhesive capsulitis. Intervention included continuous 3 MHz, 1.5 w/cm2 Ultrasound, applied for the first group and sham Ultrasound for the second group. In addition specific stretching and strengthening exercises as well as glenohumeral joint mobilization were delivered to both groups. Pain (VAS), functional ability (using Oxford Shoulder Score) and shoulder range of motion were assessed at the baseline, after 10 sessions of treatment, and at 3 months follow-up. An intention to treat Mixed ANOVA analysis was performed to explore the interaction effects of time and group on outcome measures. Results No significant interaction effect of time and group was seen on pain, function and Range of Motion (p > 0.05), meaning that the amount of improvement in all outcome measures were alike in the two groups. Conclusion Applying continuous Ultrasound along with a regimen of semi supervised exercise and mobilization in patients with primary adhesive capsulitis did not have any additional effect to the placebo Ultrasound, on outcome measures. Larger scale studies are needed to confirm the findings. Disponible en ligne : Non Permalink : https://bib.vinci.be/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=127322 [article]
