About this trial

This study will be conducted to investigate the difference between high-intensity laser and extracorporeal shock wave on supraspinatus tendon thickness, subacromial space, occupation ratio, shoulder pain intensity, shoulder range of motion (ROM), hand strength, and functional disability in patients with chronic supraspinatus tendinopathy.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Patients from 18 to 50 years old of both genders.
