简要总结
The supraspinatus muscle tendinopathy show a big impact, however, there is a lack of awareness about the options of the physiotherapist treatment. It is necessary to do studies about effectiveness of therapeutic percutaneous electrolysis (EPTE®). This technique enables treatment of the tendinopathies and the broken muscle fibrilare. It is base on the application of galvanic current through a acupuncture needle. To analyze the effectiveness of therapeutic percutaneous electrolysis (EPTE®) in the treatment of supraspinatus muscle tendinopathy. Single center randomized controlled trial, parallel treatment design. A specialist physician will be diagnosed the supraspinatus muscle tendinopathy. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive treatmen for 4 weeks: EPTE® associated with eccentric exercises or dry needling with the same eccentric exercises. Both interventions were performed under ultrasound guidance with a portable ultrasound (General Electric LogicE). Data will be collected by a blinded evaluator.
详细描述
Eccentric exercises of the supraspinatus muscle were performed in 3 sets of 10 repetitions. Participants were asked to perform the exercise program on an individual basis twice every day for 4 weeks. The eccentric program consisted of 3 exercises, focusing on the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, and scapular muscles. Participants were asked to do a normal abduction (concentric phase) and a slow return to the initial position (eccentric phase) included first the concentric phase, and the eccentric phase was slowly conducted. The exercise program was taught by a physiotherapist in the first session and monitored in the subsequent sessions.

结局指标
主要结局
The intensity of shoulder pain
时间窗: Baseline
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. The minimal clinically important difference (MCID) for the NPRS in patients with shoulder pain was 1.1 points (Mintken, Glynn, and Cleland 2009).
次要结局
- The intensity of shoulder pain(One year)
- Active shoulder range of motion(Baseline, four weeks and one year.)
- Pressure pain thresholds in supraspinatus trigger points(Baseline, four weeks and one year.)
