Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Purpose: Subacromial impingement syndrome is the most common shoulder condition. Myofascial trigger points in teres major muscle can be associated with this syndrome. The investigators objective is to find out if adding manual therapy specifically for teres major trigger points can produce better results in these patients.

Method: A randomized controlled pilot study was carried out. Fifty people were randomly assigned to one of two groups: intervention group or control group. Both groups received a protocolized physical therapy treatment while the intervention group additionally received manual therapy for teres major trigger points.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Intervention group

Treated with protocolized physiotherapy and functional massage

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Functional Massage

Intervention Type OTHER

The functional massage is a manual therapy technique, indicated in cases of painful muscle tightness that combines a rhythmical and non painful passive joint mobilization in the direction of muscle stretching together with compression/decompression of the muscle to be treated.

Protocolized physiotherapy

Intervention Type OTHER

therapeutic exercises, analgesic electrotherapy and cryotherapy

Control group

Treated with protocolized physiotherapy

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Protocolized physiotherapy

Intervention Type OTHER

therapeutic exercises, analgesic electrotherapy and cryotherapy
