Brief summary
The goal of study is to improve shoulder tendinopathy. By comparing advanced blood flow restriction with traditional Gua sha scraping, it can be identified which therapy is more effective at restoring functional movement and comfort for patients
Detailed description
This six-week study randomly assigned 34 patients with rotator cuff tendinopathy to either a Blood Flow Restriction group or a Gua sha scraping group. Using pain and disability scales, we monitored 17 participants per group to determine which treatment offered better functional recovery
Interventions
OTHERBlood Flow Restriction
17 patients were administered Blood Flow restriction Therapy along with Therapeutic Exercises twice per week for 6 weeks.
OTHERGua Sha Scraping Therapy
17 patients were administered Gua Sha Therapy along with Therapeutic Exercises twice per week for 6 weeks.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) | 6 weeks | The Shoulder Pain and Disability Index is a 13-item, patient-reported outcome measure used to evaluate the severity of shoulder pain and the resulting impact on functional activities. Patients rate each item on a scale from 0 to 10, where 0 represents "no pain/no difficulty" and 10 represents "worst pain imaginable/so difficult it requires help |
| Visual Analogue Scale | 6 weeks | The Visual Analogue Scale is a single-item measurement instrument used to quantify subjective pain experiences in this study. it consists of a 0-100 mm scale in which 0 means no pain and 100 means worst possible pain. |
