Summary

Shoulder pain is the most common musculoskeletal problem after low back and neck pain. Subacromial impingement syndrome is one of the most common diseases that causes shoulder pain. Many methods are used to reduce pain and accelerate functional rehabilitation in patients with shoulder pain. Transcutaneous pulse radiofrequency therapy (TCPRF) is a needle-free, painless, and outpatient physical therapy modality that can be used to treat shoulder impingement syndrome. Acromio-humeral distance and supraspinatus tendon thickness measurements with ultrasound are reliable and effective methods to diagnose subacromial impingement syndrome. Although there are previous studies investigating the effectiveness of TCPRF treatment in patients with shoulder pain, there are no studies evaluating the effectiveness of treatment with ultrasound examination. In this study, the investigators aimed to show the effect of TCPRF treatment on pain, range of motion, functional status and ultrasound findings in subacromial impingement syndrome.
