High-induction Magnetic Field Therapy in Patients With Shoulder Pain

High Induction Magnetic Field Therapy is a therapeutic method that uses high-intensity fields (up to 2.5 T) that produce high current density in exposed tissue. While there are studies in the literature on devices with 2.5 T, there is no research on the effect of 4 T. Magnetic field application contributes significantly to the healing process. It is an easier, cheaper, and more comfortable application. The magnetic field has been clinically proven to be safe. It is a practical, non-invasive method to induce cell and tissue modifications, correcting selected pathological conditions through magnetic application. The aim of the study is to investigate whether High Induction Magnetic Field therapy applied in addition to conservative treatment in patients with shoulder pain makes a difference compared to conservative treatment alone.

About this study

It is planned to include people between the ages of 18-65 in the study. Before the evaluation, written consent will be obtained from the participants and information on their age, gender, weight, height, chronic disease and medication use, presence of previous surgical operations, daily activity frequency, alcohol or cigarette use will be obtained.

Individuals who voluntarily agree to participate in the study and have at least one of the following diagnoses: shoulder impingement syndrome, rotator cuff rupture, and subacromial bursitis will be included in the study. Individuals with a neurological, orthopedic or cardiovascular chronic disease that cannot be controlled with medication, those who are pregnant or suspected of being pregnant, those with a pacemaker, those with implanted ear hearing aids and those with metallic implants will be excluded.

Individuals' shoulder pain levels, normal joint range of motion and daily living activities will be evaluated before and after treatment.

It is planned to include two separate groups in the study: a conservative treatment group and a group that will receive high induction magnetic field therapy in addition to conservative treatment. Within the scope of conservative treatment, ice application, transcutaneous electrical stimulation-TENS, interferential current, stretching and strengthening exercises, and normal joint range of motion exercises will be applied. Conservative treatment will be continued five days a week for a total of four weeks. High induction magnetic field therapy (Salus Talent, 4 T) will be applied in 10 sessions, 10 minutes, with one day intervals within a four-week treatment program.

Treatment and study plan

High Induction Magnetic Field Therapy

Other

High Induction Magnetic Field Therapy is a method that has no side effects, is non-invasive and easy to apply, and is used to increase circulation in tissues.

Conservative treatment

Other

Shoulder exercises, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, stretching.

Primary outcomes

  1. Visual analogue scale-VAS

    Time frame: baseline and after 4 weeks of treatment

    A score between 0 and 10 points is given and used to evaluate pain.

  2. Range of Motion

    Time frame: baseline and after 4 weeks of treatment

    Range of Motion of Shoulder Joint: Shoulder joint flexion (0-180 degrees), abduction (0-180 degrees), external rotation (0-90 degrees) and internal rotation (0-90 degrees) range of motion will be measured with a goniometer. Higher values indicate increased mobility.

  3. Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH)

    Time frame: baseline and after 4 weeks of treatment

    The DASH is a 30-item patient-reported outcome measure utilized to assess symptoms and function of the entire upper extremity. Total scores range from 0 (minimum) to (100) maximum. The first 30 questions of the survey will be applied. As the score increases, the disability level increases.

  4. Constant Murley Score

    Time frame: baseline and after 4 weeks of treatment

    It is a 100-point scale consisting of 15 points for pain, 20 points for daily activities, 40 points for pain-free joint range of motion, and 25 points for strength parameters. While pain and daily living activities are evaluated by the patient, joint range of motion and strength are evaluated by the clinician. A higher score corresponds to a higher-quality of function.
