Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Clinically suggestive of subacromial impingement syndrome, positive in the following tests- Painful arc test, Jobe’s test, Neer’s test, Hawkin-Kennedy test. 2. USG and/or MRI confirming Neer Stage I & II subacromial impingement or narrowing of subacromial space. 3. Moderate to severe pain defined as VAS (visual analog scale) score of 5 points or more upto 8. 4. Pain not controlled by oral pharmacological method.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. USG showing rotator cuff tear or avulsed tendon. 2. History of previous surgery of shoulder or mechanical trauma to shoulder joint. 3. Motor weakness of affected shoulder joint (Power less than 4/5). 4. Presence of other obvious associated cause for shoulder pain (Primary osteoarthritis of glenohumeral joint, fracture, radiculopathy, myofascial pain, central neuropathic pain, rheumatoid arthritis, degenerative spine disease, restricted range of motion, adhesive capsulitis). 5. Upper limb or neck instability. 6. Difficulty to participate in physical activities requiring overhead tasks. 7. Patient refusing treatment or participation.
