Study Summary

This trial will help researchers understand if blood flow restriction training is effective in helping people recover from shoulder stabilization surgery. The study will compare the effects of physical therapy with and without blood flow restriction training. The hypothesis is that the group receiving blood flow restriction training will have better outcomes in terms of strength, function, and pain.

Eligible Conditions
  • Shoulder Dislocation
  • Shoulder Subluxation
  • Surgery

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: BFR group with standard therapyExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants will be randomized into their assigned group of receiving standard therapy with BFR by a blinded therapist within the study. Participants will then visit the clinic for study testing at six weeks, 12 weeks, and six months after their surgery. During each of these visits, they will be asked to complete a survey, and then their shoulder strength and flexibility will be measured. Each study visit will last approximately 30 minutes. Participants will also attend 12-18 shoulder rehabilitation sessions in the clinic over six weeks from the six week to 12 week mark (about two to three sessions per week). Each rehabilitation session will last approximately 30 minutes and consist of Blood Flow Restriction Training with the standard rehabilitation exercises. Between the 12-week follow-up and 6-month follow-up, participants will receive standard post-surgical rehabilitation for their specific shoulder surgery without Blood Flow Restriction training.
Group II: standard therapy groupActive Control1 Intervention
Participants will be randomized into their assigned group of receiving standard therapy without BFR by a blinded therapist within the study using a computer generated randomization formula Participants will then visit the clinic for study testing at six weeks, 12 weeks, and six months after their surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

How many participants are currently enrolled in this research project?

"Affirmative. The clinical trial portal hosts information that this medical study, first published on June 23rd 2022 and recently modified August 15th 2022, is looking for volunteers to participate. In total 40 people are needed at one location."

Answered by AI

What are the chief goals of this investigative research?

"This 6 month clinical trial will primarily assess participant's shoulder function via the UQYBT metric. Other metrics such as NPRS, SPADI and ROM are also used to measure secondary outcomes associated with pain rating, patient reported results and range of motion respectively."

Answered by AI

Is it possible for me to enroll in this experiment?

"In order to satisfy the inclusion criteria and join this clinical trial, interested patients should be between 17-30 years old with shoulder pain. This experiment is currently recruiting 40 individuals."

Answered by AI

Is enrollment open to those aged 45 and over in this experiment?

"According to the criteria outlined for this trial, prospective patients must fall between 17 and 30 years old. For people younger than 18 or older than 65 there are 50 trials available as well as 254 additional clinical studies respectively."

Answered by AI

Is enrollment still open for this clinical trial?

"This clinical trial, which was initially opened to participants on June 23rd 2022, is actively recruiting patients as reported by clinicaltrials.gov. The study has been recently updated on August 15th 2022."
