Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Percutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation
Participants assigned to this group will received four sessions (once per week) of ultrasound guided percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation targeting the axillar and suprascapular nerves for 30 minutes. We will apply a biphasic compensated electrical current at a frequency of 2 Hz, a pulse width of 250 μs and intensity allowed over a pain-free motor threshold (muscle contraction). In addition, they will receive a program of exercises for the shoulder musculature for 3 weeks.
Percutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation
Application of a electrical current percutaneously (at the motor response intensity) targeting the suprascapular and axillar nerves
Exercise
Application of three weeks of progressive exercises targeting the shoulder musculature
Placebo Percutaneous Nerve Stimulation
Participants assigned to this group will received four sessions (once per week) of placebo ultrasound guided percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation targeting the axillar and suprascapular nerve. The electrical current will be off and no electrical current will be provided to the patient. In addition, they will receive the same program of exercises for the shoulder than the experimental group for three weeks.
Placebo Percutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation
Application of sham electrical current (no intensity) percutaneously targeting the suprascapular and axillar nerves
Exercise
Application of three weeks of progressive exercises targeting the shoulder musculature
Exercise
Participants assigned to this group will receive the same program of exercises for the shoulder than the remaining groups for three weeks.
