Hyaluronic Acid, Corticosteroid and Electrotherapy in Subacromial Impingement Syndrome

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Pain, Shoulder; Subacromial Impingement
• Interventions: Drug: Corticosteroids Triamcinolone Acetonide; Other: Electrotherapy; Drug: Hyaluronic acid

• Registration Number: NCT04833738
• Lead Sponsor: Şeyhmus KAPLAN

Brief Summary

Background: Electrotherapy, corticosteroid, and hyaluronic acid have been used to treat subacromial impingement syndrome. However, we need to compare treatment options to provide the optimal results. This study aims to compare the effect of hyaluronic acid, corticosteroid, and electrotherapy in subacromial impingement syndrome.

Design: Ninety five patients were randomised into three equal groups according to treatment types. Hyaluronic acid (20 mg/2ml, three times one week apart) or corticosteroid (triamcinolone acetonide, 40 mg/ml, single dose) treatments were applied as subacromial injections. Electrotherapy consisted of 14 sessions TENS (20 min.), hotpack (20 min.) and ultrasound (1.5watt/cm2, 1 MHz, 6 min.). Patients were evaluated before treatment, one and four weeks post end of treatment. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), range of motion (ROM), and Shoulder Disability Questionnaire (SDQ) were used as outcome measures.
