PEMF Therapy in Shoulder Tendinopathy

Effect of Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) Therapy Delivered Via the Super Inductive System (SIS) Combined With Balneophysiotherapy in Patients With Shoulder Tendinopathies: A Randomized Controlled Trial


Sponsor

Balnear and Rehabilitation Sanatorium Techirghiol

Enrollment

60 participants

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy delivered via the Super Inductive System (SIS), integrated into a multimodal rehabilitation program, improves pain, function, pressure pain threshold, muscle strength, psychological status, and quality of life in adults with shoulder tendinopathies. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does the addition of PEMF (SIS) therapy reduce pain intensity and improve pressure pain threshold compared to standard balneophysiotherapy? * Does PEMF (SIS) therapy improve shoulder function, muscle strength, psychological status, and quality of life? The study will compare a multimodal rehabilitation program supplemented with PEMF (SIS) therapy to standard balneophysiotherapy to determine whether the addition of PEMF (SIS) provides superior clinical outcomes. Participants will: * Undergo a multimodal rehabilitation program including balneophysiotherapy * Be assigned to receive either standard treatment or treatment supplemented with PEMF (SIS) therapy * Be evaluated at baseline (admission), immediately after treatment completion (discharge), and at 4 weeks after treatment using validated clinical instruments assessing pain, function, pressure pain threshold, muscle strength, psychological status, depressive symptoms, and quality of life.

Interventions

DEVICENanopulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy (SIS)

Nanopulsed electromagnetic field therapy is delivered using the Super Inductive System (SIS) device applied to the affected shoulder. The intervention is administered daily over a two-week period, with a total of 10 sessions. Each session lasts approximately 10-15 minutes. The therapy delivers high-intensity electromagnetic pulses with adjustable frequency and intensity, aiming to reduce pain, stimulate tissue regeneration, and improve functional outcomes.

OTHERBalneophysiotherapy

The intervention is based on the region's specific natural therapeutic resources and is conducted under continuous medical supervision. The treatment program includes saline therapeutic baths combined with exercise therapy and applications of sapropelic therapeutic mud, administered daily over a two-week period, five days per week. In addition, patients receive electrotherapy according to a standardized protocol, including magnetotherapy, interferential current therapy, and therapeutic ultrasound. The rehabilitation program also incorporates massage therapy and individualized therapeutic exercises.
