Suprascapular Notch Cross-sectional Area Measured by Ultrasonography

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Shoulder Pain; Shoulder Impingement Syndrome
• Interventions: Device: ultrasound

• Registration Number: NCT05996510
• Lead Sponsor: Bursa Yüksek İhtisas Education and Research Hospital

Brief Summary

Chronic shoulder pain is one of the most common diseases affecting the quality of life today. Although there are multiple causes, one of the most common causes is shoulder impingement syndrome.

Ultrasound can be used for diagnosis in patients whose treatment is difficult due to its complex structure. While the supraspinatus muscle, tendon and shoulder joint are the regions that are usually evaluated, the visualization of the Suprascapular notch is usually observed during injection. The connection between the suprascapular notch and the shoulder joint has been demonstrated in different studies.

Detailed Description

In this study, the investigation of the relationship between the measurements of the suprascapular nerve and the suprascapular notch, which the investigators observed in our clinical ultrasound applications, and the disease activity intended.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Suprascapular notch cross-sectional area measurement	baseline	The area under the suprascapular notch and the superior transverse scapular ligament is measured using the cross-sectional area measurement method.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI)	baseline	The Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) is a patient completed questionnaire with 13 items assessing pain level and extent of difficulty with activity of daily livings requiring the use of the upper extremities. The pain subscale has 5-items and the Disability subscale has 8-items.To score either version of the SPADI, the total score is calculated by averaging the pain and disability subscale scores to find a score out of 100. On this scale, 0 represents less disability while 100 represents greatest disability
Visual Analogue Scale	baseline	Visual Analog Scale was used for pain. Pain intensity was measured using 0-10 cm visual analogue scale (VAS). The findings suggested that 100-mm VAS ratings of 0 to 4 mm can be considered no pain; 5 to 44 mm, mild pain; 45 to 74 mm, moderate pain; and 75 to 100 mm, severe pain.
