Effect of Transfer Energy Capacitive Resistive Therapy on Shoulder Pain and Function in Shoulder Impingement Syndrome
Sponsor: Cairo University
Summary
This study investigates the efficacy of combining Transfer Energy Capacitive and Resistive (TECAR) therapy with standard strengthening exercises in treating Shoulder Impingement Syndrome (SIS). A double-blinded randomized controlled trial will compare outcomes between patients receiving only strengthening exercises and those receiving both TECAR therapy and exercises. Key outcomes include improvements in pain, muscle strength, joint position sense, and shoulder function. The study aims to determine if TECAR therapy enhances treatment benefits beyond those achieved with exercises alone.

Transfer Energy Capacitive Resistive Therapy
It's a physical treatment modality commonly used to treat musculoskeletal pain. It normally uses a longwave radiofrequency of \~0.5 MHz. The system consists of a neutral plate and two different electrodes that can transfer energy in two modalities: capacitive and resistive
strength training program
Each session includes five exercises, each performed for three sets of 10 repetitions: Shoulder Retraction - Strengthens muscles between shoulder blades. Shoulder Scaption - Improves stability and range of motion. Shoulder External Rotation from Side Lying - Targets rotator cuff muscles. Shoulder Protraction - Enhances shoulder blade function. Shoulder Extension - Strengthens posterior shoulder muscles
