Supraspinatus Tendinitis

This randomized controlled trial aims to compare the effectiveness of High-Intensity Laser Therapy (HILT) and Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) in patients with supraspinatus tendinitis.

A randomized controlled trial will be conducted to get the expected outcomes. Patients of both gender groups with unilateral shoulder pain will be selected with age range 40-60 years from Sehat medical complex and randomly allocated into four groups (Group A, B, C and D) of two different trials (Trial I and Trial II). The sample size will be 120 patients for both trials. Musculoskeletal ultrasound, goniometry, pain pressure threshold, dynamometer and functional indices will be used to measure the tendon thickness, range of motion, pain, muscle strength and function level. The group A will get BFRT, Group B will get ESWT, group c will get the combination of both and group D will be the Control group (Routine physical therapy). In Trial II the group A will get BFRT, Group B will get Eccentric Training, Group C will get combination of both A \& B and group D will be control group. data will be collected at baseline, 4th week, 8th week and 12 week of interventions. For data analysis SPSS version 25 will be used. Repeated measures ANOVA will be applied to compare the quantitative data within and between the groups. Post-Hoc test Tukey and Bonferroni correction will be used. The level of significance will be set at 5% (P\<0.05).

This study aims to investigate the effect of TECAR therapy on pain, shoulder range of motion, functional disability, and handgrip strength in patients with grade II supraspinatus tendinitis.

This study will be conducted to investigate the effect of ozonated gel phonophoresis on pain intensity, shoulder joint range of motion, and functional disability in patients with chronic supraspinatus tendinitis grades I and II.
