Application of Shock Wave Technique in Conservative Treatment of Rotator Cuff Tear

Not Applicable

Recruiting

• Conditions: Rotator Cuff Tear
• Interventions: Procedure: Conventional conservative treatment; Procedure: Shock wave therapy

• Registration Number: NCT06587009
• Lead Sponsor: Peking University Third Hospital

Brief Summary

This study is a prospective cohort study and is a single-center clinical trial. Sample: This study will enroll about 22 patients from the Department of Sports Medicine and rehabilitation outpatient department of Beijing Third Hospital who are diagnosed with rotator cuff tear and choose conservative treatment.

Detailed Description

A single-center randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted to compare the effect of ESWT combined with conventional rehabilitation training on patients with rotator cuff tear. To explore the effect of ESWT on the clinical efficacy of patients with rotator cuff tear, and to explore the application of shockwave technology in the conservative treatment of rotator cuff tear. It provides a new treatment idea for patients with rotator cuff tear who choose conservative treatment, promotes tendon healing for patients with partial rotator cuff tear, improves shoulder joint function, and provides a new treatment plan for patients to accelerate their return to life and exercise, and provides a theoretical basis for the clinical application of ESWT.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Control group	Conventional conservative treatment	Patients who receive conventional conservative treatment
ESWT group	Shock wave therapy	Patients who receive shock wave technique

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
pain VAS score	6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months after surgery	pain levels in patients, ranging from 0 to 10, with a higher score indicating more intense pain.
ASES score	6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months after surgery	The American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score is the most commonly used score to describe the function of patients' shoulder joints, ranging from 0 to 100. The higher the score, the better the function of patients' shoulder joints.
MRI evaluation	3 months and 6 month after surgery	Through MRI qualitative and quantitative analysis, evaluate the tendon healing status after rotator cuff repair surgery.
UCLA score	6 weeks, 3 months and 6 months after surgery	The UCLA Shoulder Score combines input from both the physician and the patient and totals range from 0 to 35, 0s indicating worse shoulder function and 35s indicating better shoulder function outcomes.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Active shoulder ranges of motion	6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months after surgery	internal rotation at the side, and external and internal rotation at 90° of abduction
