Effect of High-intensity Laser Therapy on Supraspinatus Tendon Elasticity

Turkey (Türkiye)66 participantsStarted 2024-07-22

Plain-language summary

Subacromial impingement syndrome, one of the most common causes of shoulder pain. In studies investigating the effectiveness of high-intensity laser in patients with subacromial impingement syndrome, it was stated that high-intensity laser reduced the complaints of patients in the early and late periods. However, there is no research examining the effect of high-intensity laser on the supraspinatus tendon. Therefore, the investigators aimed to investigate the effect of high-intensity laser on the supraspinatus tendon using shear wave elastography.
