Brief summary
Background: Shoulder pain commonly affects the general population, with rotator cuff tendinopathy being the most common cause. the most common cause, with rotator cuff tendinopathy diminishing function and quality of life, leading to a major socio-economic impact. quality of life, leading to a major socio-economic impact. As a result, there are two treatment approaches with potential effectiveness: therapeutic exercise (TE) and myofascial trigger point treatment (TMT). trigger point treatment (TTP). Objective: The main objective of this randomised clinical trial is to determine the efficacy of ET versus treatment of MTPs in shoulder tendinopathies. Methods: For this study, 20 participants were randomly divided into two groups: a ET group, with which a 10-exercise programme was initiated (n = 10), and a PGM group which was given an intervention protocol (n = 10). intervention protocol (n = 10). Both received a total of 10 sessions. Pain intensity pain intensity, pressure pain threshold (PPT) and range of motion (ROM) were assessed before starting and after 10 sessions. and after 10 sessions.
