Official Title: A Comparison of the Efficacy of High Intensity Laser and Ultrasound Therapies in Patients With Chronic Shoulder Pain: A Randomized Controlled Single Blind Study
Brief Summary: The investigators aimed to evaluate the short-term efficacy of High Intensity LASER Therapy (HILT) and Ultrasound (US) treatment in chronic shoulder pain. It's a prospective, randomized, controlled, single blind study.141 patients were randomized into two groups, as HILT (n=71) and US (n=70) groups. HILT or US treatment was applied to the patients in addition to 14 sessions of Hotpack (Hp) + Balneotherapy + Exercise treatment. Pre-treatment (Pre-T), Post-treatment 1st day (Post-T1st day) and Post-T findings for the 30th day (Post-T 30th day) were recorded using the visual analog scale (VAS) and shoulder pain and disability index (SPADI) scoring.
