Brief Summary

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

Brief Summary

The aim of this randomized controlled study is to reveal the short-term effects of physical and social factors in different therapeutic environments on patients with rotator cuff related shoulder pain following the same exercise program. The main questions it aims answer are:

* Is there any difference in terms of pain levels among groups with rotator cuff related shoulder pain who treated in different therapeutic settings.
* Is there any difference in terms of functionality and self-efficacy among groups with rotator cuff related shoulder pain who treated in different therapeutic settings.

Detailed Description

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

The investigators will include patients who applied to the physiotherapy clinic of Kadikoy Florence Nightingale Medical Center with the complaint of shoulder pain. 46 individuals who volunteer to participate in the study will be included. Participants will be randomised through a computer-based randomization program into two groups; the enriched therapeutic environment group (Group 1) and the isolated therapeutic environment group (Group 2). The same treatment including patient education, exercise therapy and ice application will be performed to both groups. Participants will receive a total of 15 sessions of treatment, 3 sessions per week. Before the treatment, 3rd week, 6th week and 12th week, the following evaluations will be made to both groups; Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) to asses pain, Arm, Shoulder, Hand Problems Quick Survey (Quick-DASH) and Western Ontario Rotator Cuff Index (WORC) to asses functionality, Pain Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (PSEQ) to asses self efficacy and Global Scale of Change (GRC) to asses the effectiveness of the treatment.

Study Groups

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

The enriched therapeutic environment group (Group 1)

Group 1 will receive treatment in a physiotherapy unit which has following characteristics ; enlightened with sunlight, has a view of green trees and includes other participants exercising. Patients will receive a treatment consisting of patient education, exercise therapy and cold application for a total of 15 sessions, 3 times a week. Each session will last approximately 60 minutes. After the patient education and exercise therapy is completed, the participants will listen to classical music pieces selected by us during 15 minutes of cold application.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Patient Education

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

It includes evaluation of the treatment process and past sessions. Simple shoulder biomechanics, function, and what caused the injury were explained to the patients. In order to increase patients' participation in treatment, it was emphasized what the treatment does and that the patient should cooperate in order to heal. During their treatment, patients are instructed to regulate their daily living activities, avoid overhead and repetitive movements of the arm, bags weighing more than 2-3 kg, etc. It was recommended not to carry them. Patients were informed about alternative sleeping positions.

Exercise Therapy

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Participants in both groups were included in a structured exercise program consisting of exercises recommended in the literature. This exercise program includes joint range of motion exercises, stretching exercises and strengthening exercises and was carried out under the supervision of a physiotherapist for 6 weeks. Joint range of motion and strengthening exercises are recommended as 3 sets of 10 repetitions, and stretching exercises are recommended as 5 repetitions for 20 seconds. Exercises appropriate to the patients' clinical conditions and progression were selected by the physiotherapist and included in the program.

Cold Application

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Following each exercise treatment, cold-pack will be applied for 15 minutes. During col-pack application, patients in the Group 1 group will listen to classical music selected by us, while patients in the Group 2 will rest quietly. There are a total of 40 songs by Bach, Mozart, Beethoven and Andre Rieu on our CD player, and patients have the right to choose and listen to the song they want.

The isolated therapeutic environment group (Group 2).

Group 2 will receive treatment in a quiet single room. The room is illuminated by artificial light, curtains are closed so that patients cannot see outside view. Patients will receive a treatment consisting of patient education, exercise therapy and cold application for a total of 15 sessions, 3 times a week. Each session will last approximately 60 minutes. After the patient education and exercise therapy is completed, the participants will rest silently for 15 minutes of cold application.
