Effectiveness of Microelectrolysis Associated With Exercises Versus Exercises Alone on Pain Intensity and Disability in Individuals With Chronic Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Objective
To compare the effectiveness of intratissue percutaneous microelectrolysis (IPM) in addition to shoulder exercise program on pain intensity and disability in individuals with rotator cuff tendinopathy.
Study Design
Two parallel arms, single-blind superiority randomized controlled trial.
Site
Outpatient clinic (Alcides Carneiro University Hospital).
Participants
Forty-two individuals with rotator cuff tendinopathy were randomly allocated (1:1) into 2 groups: IPM associated with exercises (IPM+Ex) and exercises only (Ex).
Interventions
Both groups underwent a therapeutic exercise program (6 in-person sessions) conducted by a physiotherapist, but only the IPM+Ex group received additional treatment with IPM (6 sessions). Linear mixed models were used to compare groups.
Main Outcome Measures
Pain intensity was measured with the Numerical Pain Rating Scale and shoulder disability with the Shoulder Pain and Disability Index. The outcomes were evaluated (blinded assessor) at baseline and 8 weeks after the intervention protocol. The secondary outcomes included adverse effects, frequency of the weekly home exercises, and overall perceived effect.
Results
Forty individuals completed the 8-week follow-up. There were statistically significant within-group changes in both IPM+Ex and Ex for pain (IPM+Ex: mean difference −3.19; 95% CI: −4.45 to −1.94; Ex: mean difference: −3.99; 95% CI: −5.27 to −2.72) and disability (IPM+Ex: mean difference −35.76; 95% CI: −47.77 to −23.76; Ex: mean difference: −38.26; 95% CI: −50.45 to −26.07). We found no between-group significant differences in either pain (mean difference: −1.23; 95% CI: −2.54, 0.07) or disability (mean difference 7.17; 95% CI: −7.02, 21.35). We found no differences between the groups (P<.05) regarding adverse effects, frequency of the weekly home exercises, and overall perceived effect.
Conclusion
Applying IPM along with therapeutic exercises does not have additional effects on pain intensity and disability in individuals with rotator cuff tendinopathy.
期刊介绍:
The Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation publishes original, peer-reviewed research and clinical reports on important trends and developments in physical medicine and rehabilitation and related fields. This international journal brings researchers and clinicians authoritative information on the therapeutic utilization of physical, behavioral and pharmaceutical agents in providing comprehensive care for individuals with chronic illness and disabilities.
Archives began publication in 1920, publishes monthly, and is the official journal of the American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine. Its papers are cited more often than any other rehabilitation journal.
