Summary

In this study, we aimed to observe the effect of adding dry needling to therapeutic ultrasound treatment on pain and function in patients with supraspinatus tendinopathy.

Conditions

  • Supraspinatus Tendinopathy

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Tendon Dry Needling

Tendon dry needling procedure is that repetitively passing the needle though the area of supraspinatus tendon. Tendon dry needling was performed under sterile conditions with real-time imaging guidance using an ultrasound probe. The supraspinatus tendon was scanned from anterior to posterior, and tendon dry needling was applied to the identified lesion (tendinozis or partial tear) area. This treatment method was applied twice, with a one-month interval between sessions.

PROCEDURE

Sham Tendon Dry Needling

In this treatment subcutaneous sham tendon dry needling was performed by randomly holding the ultrasound probe in the area corresponding to the same anatomical localization. Sham tendon dry needling performed to subcutaneus tissue not tendon.
