简要总结
In this study, it was aimed to compare the effects of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and high-intensity laser therapy (HILT) on shoulder joint range of motion, level of pain and functional status in patients with adhesive capsulitis
详细描述
This study will be designed as a randomized, prospective, single-blind clinical trial with a 3-week follow-up. A total of 50 patients who applied to our hospital with the complaint of shoulder pain will be evaluated for inclusion in the study. Patients will be randomized into two groups as high-intensity laser (HILT) + stretching exercise group and low-level laser (LLLT) + stretching exercise group.

结局指标
主要结局
Visual Analog Scale (VAS) is used to measure and monitor the intensity of pain. Change from baseline in pain on the VAS at week 3
时间窗: Baseline-Week 3
This is a 10 cm ruler that describes painlessness at one end and the most severe pain at the other. A patient scores his/her pain from 0 to 10.
次要结局
- Measuring the range of motion at shoulder joint(Baseline and week 3)
- Shoulder Pain and Disability Index(Baseline and week 3)
