Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

pain : numerical pain rating scale

Patients' overall assessment of pain will be provided using the numeric pain rating scale (NPRS). The NPRS is known to be a sensitive and reliable scale for clinical and experimental evaluation of pain intensity. The score ranges from 0, indicating no pain, to 10, expressing worst imaginable pain. The reliability of numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) is 0.92 (0.87, 0.95).

Time frame
6 weeks
2

range of motion : universal goniometer

Universal Goniometer is the most commonly utilised clinical tool for measuring joint range of motion due to its ease of use, low cost, and demonstrated reasonable levels of reliability and validity in numerous studies. Validity and intertester reliability (r =.97-.98; ICC =.98-.99) are both high

Time frame
6 weeks
3

shoulder pain and impairment : SPADI

The SPADI consists of 13 items that assess two domains: a 5-item subscale for pain and an 8-item subscale for disability. The SPADI has since been used in both primary care on mixed diagnosis and surgical patient populations including rotator cuff disease, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis, adhesive capsulitis ,joint replacement surgery , and in a large population-based study of shoulder symptoms (37). Reliability- 0.89, Validity - 0.90

Time frame
6 weeks
4

36-Item Short Form Health Survey questionnaire (SF-36)

The 36-Item Short Form Health Survey questionnaire (SF-36) is a very popular instrument for evaluating Health-Related Quality of Life. The ICC for SF-36 PF is (0.96, 95% CI 0.92-0.98) so it's a reliable test.

Time frame
