dc.description.abstract | Objective: The aim of our study was to compare the efficacy of the High IntensityLASER Therapy (HILT) and Ultrasound (US) for pain and daily activities of patients with chronicshoulder pain. Material and Methods: In this prospective, randomized, controlled, single blindstudy; 141 patients were randomized into two groups by using random table, as Group 1: US (n=70)and Group 2: HILT (n=71). HILT or US treatment was applied to the patients in addition to 14 sessionsof Hotpack in (HP) +Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) +Balneotherapy +Exercise. Pre-treatment (W0), Post-treatment 1st day (W2) and Post-Treatment findings 30th day(W6) findings were recorded using the visual analog scale (VAS) and shoulder pain and disabilityindex (SPADI) scoring. Results: There were no statistically significant difference neither in demographiccharacteristics nor pretreatment evaluation parameters between the two groups (p>0.05).In Group 1 and Group 2, statistically significant improvements were found in all the evaluation parametersboth at W2 and W6 (p<0.05). When the groups are compared to each other; statisticallysignificant difference was found in favor of Group 2 both at W2 and W6, in all evaluation parameters(p<0.05). Conclusion: This study demonstrates that in chronic shoulder pain HILT is superiorto US therapy in decreasing pain and improving function in short term. | en_US |
