Study Groups

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

Conventional therapy

It covers the classical physical therapy modalities that patients will take for shoulder pain.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Conventional physical therapy

Intervention Type OTHER

Conventional physical therapy: The patients received physical therapy to the shoulder, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, and stretching and strengthening exercises (5 days per week for three weeks in a total of 15 sessions).

Conventional therapy plus dry needling

It covers the classical physical therapy modalities that patients will take for shoulder pain. It also refers to the dry needling treatment to be applied.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Conventional physical therapy plus dry needling

Intervention Type OTHER

Conventional physical therapy plus dry needling: The patients received physical therapy to the shoulder, including transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, stretching, and strengthening exercise (5 days per week for three weeks in a total of 15 sessions). And also, a total of 3 dry needling sessions were applied at 7-day intervals.
