Overview
Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to compare the effects of extracorporeal shock wave therapy(eswt) applied in addition to conventional physical therapy on pain, mobility, functional ability, sleep quality and activities of daily living in patients with adhesive capsulitis compared to low-level laser therapy and to investigate whether they are superior to the control group.
Detailed Description
In this study, 60 adhesive capsulitis with age range 18-65 who applied to Kırsehir Ahi Evran University Training and Research Hospital were examined.Adhesive capsulitis is also called arthrofibrosis, which involves excessive adhesion formation along the glenohumeral joint. It is a disease of unknown etiology and is classified as primary and secondary. Primary adhesive capsulitis includes cases of idiopathic origin resulting from chronic inflammation with fibroblast proliferation. Secondary adhesive capsulitis, central nervous system involvement, arm immobilized for a long time, trauma or fracture, infectious diseases, etc. Includes post-mortem situations. Adhesive capsulitis progression is characterized by four stages, each stage presenting a distinctive clinical picture. low-level laser therapy supports cell proliferation and tissue regeneration with its anti-inflammatory and photobiostimulation properties.The pressure waves of ESWT pass through fluids and soft tissues and exert their effects in areas of impedance change such as bones and soft tissue spaces. These waves have mechanical and cellular effects. The most important of these effects are temporary damage to the neuronal cell membrane or increased permeability. These mechanisms may facilitate neovascularization and cellular regeneration in tissues.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Visual analogue scale (VAS)
Time Frame: 12. week
A Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) is a measurement instrument that tries to measure a characteristic or attitude that is believed to range across a continuum of values and cannot easily be directly measured. It is often used in epidemiologic and clinical research to measure the intensity or frequency of various symptoms. When responding to a VAS item, respondents specify their level of agreement to a statement by indicating a position along a continuous line between two end-points.Pain intensity was measured with visual analogue scale for pain (0-10 mm; 0 means no pain, 10 means severe pain) which is used to measure musculoskeletal pain with very good reliability and validity
CONSTANT (MURLEY) SCORE (CS)
Time Frame: 12.week
The Constant-Murley score (CMS) is a 100-points scale composed of a number of individual parameters. These parameters define the level of pain and the ability to carry out the normal daily activities of the patient. The Constant-Murley score was introduced to determine the functionality after the treatment of a shoulder injury. The test is divided into four subscales: pain (15 points), activities of daily living (20 points), strength (25 points) and range of motion: forward elevation, external rotation, abduction and internal rotation of the shoulder (40 points). The higher the score, the higher the quality of the function
Secondary Outcomes
- The Short Form Health Survey (SF-36)(12. week)
- Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(12. week)
