简要总结
Therapeutic management of supraspinatus tendinopathy is conflicting. There is evidence that eccentric exercise protocols can be effective for this condition. The inclusion of other therapeutic modalities could help to the management of these patients. A new therapeutic approach, called Electrolysis Percutaneous Therapeutic (EPTE) has been clinically developed. The objective of this randomized clinical trial is to determine the effectiveness of the inclusion of EPTE into a eccentric exercise protocol for the management of patients with unilateral supraspinatus tendinopathy

结局指标
主要结局
Changes in pain intensity before and after the intervention
时间窗: Baseline, after 2 weeks of treatment and one week after the last session
A 10-point Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS; 0: no pain, 10: maximum pain) will be used to assess the patients' current level of shoulder pain, and the worst and lowest level of pain experienced in the preceding week in the shoulder area.
次要结局
- Changes in disability before and after the intervention(Baseline, after 2 weeks of treatment and one week after the last session)
