An interventional study of Blood flow restriction therapy and Eccentric Training in Supraspinatus Tendinitis, sponsored by Sehat Medical Complex. Recruiting at 1 site in Pakistan. Open to participants aged 40 Years to 60 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-10-14.
Sponsored by Sehat Medical Complex · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
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) in Trial. The sample size will be 60 patients. 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.
Supraspinatus will be evaluated for the combined effect of blood flow restriction therapy (BFRT) and Shock wave Therapy in Group C in comparison to BFRT alone in Group A, Eccenteric Training alone in Group B and routine physical therapy in Group D (Control Group).
Sehat Medical Complex is the lead sponsor of 25 studies on the registry; 5 are open to participants now.

Also known as: BFRT
4 Sets of exercise with Dumbbell or TheraBand 15,15,15, 15. Three sets of exercise with Abduction and External Rotation Movement. 3 session/week for 12 week The movement performed in scaption, external rotation and shoulder abduction.
Also known as: ET
Combination of A \& B
Also known as: BFRT+ET
Electric Heating Pad (Besmed, Taiwan) 10 minutes, TENS (Comfy Stim, Taiwan Model #: EV-806) 10 minutes Isometric Shoulder Exercise 10 rep/3 sets
MSK Ultrasound
Supraspinatus Tendon thickness in long and short axis, These will be measureed in mili meter (mm) on Musculoskeletal Ultrasound with modified Crass psotion.
Time frame: 12 weeks (Baseline, 4 weeks, 8 Weeks, and 12 Weeks)
Shoulder pain
Numeric Pain Rating Scale for Pain, (0-10 unit scale, 0 mean NO Pain and 10 means imaginable worset pain)
Time frame: 12 weeks (data will be collected at Baseline, 4 weeks, 8 Weeks, and 12 Weeks)
Shoulder Joint ROM
ROM measurement with Goniometer (Universal 360 degree and bubble goniometer will be used
Time frame: 12 weeks (data will be collected at Baseline, 4 weeks, 8 Weeks, and 12 Weeks)
Shoulder Joint function and disability
shoulder joint function and disability will be measured by Disability of arm, shoulder and hand sclae (Quick DASH) 0-100 0 means maximum function a person can perform, 100 means worst imaginable condition of disability. The Shoulder pain and Disability index (SPADI) scale is used to measre the pain and disability in shoulder conditions, scale range 0-100, 0 means maximum functionality and 100 means imagunable disability or worset condition.
Time frame: 12 weeks (data will be collected at Baseline, 4 weeks, 8 Weeks, and 12 Weeks)
Shoulder Muscle Strength
1 Repetition Maximum of shoulder Abduction will be measure by Epleys method.
Time frame: 12 weeks (data will be collected at Baseline, 4 weeks, 8 Weeks, and 12 Weeks)
Peripher pain sensitization
Pain pressure algometry will be used, The clinician places the tip of teh instrument perpendicular to the targeted muscle, and tendon and applies a steady, continuous increase in pressure (usually at a rate of 1 kg/cm² per second). the values will be measure in lb persecond or Newton.
Time frame: 12 weeks (data will be collected at Baseline, 4 weeks, 8 Weeks, and 12 Weeks)
Shoulder Joint strength
Shoulder muscle strength measure through Hand Held Dynamometer, the instrumnet will measure the isomatric force of shoulder muscle in abduction, external rotation and internal rotation in Newton or Kilogram force.
Time frame: 12 weeks (data will be collected at Baseline, 4 weeks, 8 Weeks, and 12 Weeks)
