Brief Summary

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

The study purpose is to compare the effects of Fascial Manipulation added to standard exercises protocol versus the simple exercises protocol.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The shoulder degenerative diseases are recurring in hospital employees. The early approach, as we see in literature, has high probability to reduce the pain and the disfunction in the long term.

In particular stretching and strengthening exercises are the standard protocol applied.

The Fascial Manipulation is a manual therapy that works on the connective tissue, by increasing mobility and reducing pain.

We have added the Fascial Manipulation to prove if it make a faster recovery and a pain reduction in the short and the middle term.

Outcome Assessors
The outcome assessor will be a statistic techinician, with any knowledge about the group composition and the rehabilitative intervention.

Study Groups

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

Standard Group

The subjects will be treated with a standard protocol of stretching and strengthening exercises , we require them to do the exercises by themselves during five weeks, one a day.

To make sure that they will do the protocol, we'll give them a diary to sign the daily section.
