简要总结
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of massage in pain reduction and its influence on the range of motion of the shoulder complex in SP.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
- Does normalizing tissue tension through massage therapy in the intercostal nerve entrapment mechanism reduce pain in the shoulder area?
- Does normalizing tissue tension through massage therapy in the intercostal nerve entrapment mechanism increase the range of motion of the shoulder complex?
Researchers will compare a dedicated massage protocol to a control group to see if the massage protocol works to treat shoulder pain.
Participants in the massage group will:
Take part in 6 massage sessions (twice a week for 3 weeks) in the
Participants in the control group will:
Take part in 2 massage sessions (after the first and second assessment)
详细描述
The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of massage therapy based on tensegrity principle in pain reduction and its influence on the range of motion of the shoulder complex in shoulder pain. .
Eesearch questions:
- Does the normalization of the tension of the tissues involved in the intercostal nerve entrapment mechanism reduce pain in the shoulder area?
- Does the normalization of the tension of the tissues involved in the intercostal nerve entrapment mechanism increase the range of motion of the shoulder complex?
- Does the intercostal nerve entrapment affect the pressure sensitivity of the muscles including the shoulder complex?89
- What potential mechanisms may be induced by tensegrity massage in diseases of the shoulder complex?
Patients with symptoms of shoulder pain will be recruited for the study by general practitioners.
The following parameters related to the function of shoulder will be assessed:
