Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The following outcomes will be evaluated: primary - pain reduction; secondary: the improvement of daily activities and the decrease in SD. Pain will be assessed using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) (ANNEX 1), a scale scored from 0 to 10, where “0” means no pain and “10” means the worst pain. To assess the individual's functional capacity to perform daily activities, the Disabilities of the Arm Shoulders and Hand (DASH) scale (ANNEX 2) will be used, consisting of 30 items, 6 items about symptoms and 24 items about function. At least 27 of the 30 items must be answered. Each question answered will have a maximum value of 5 points. These values ??will be transformed into a score of 100 by subtracting 1 and multiplying by 25 [(Sum of answers / n) -1] x 25]. This transformation is performed to compare scores with other scales from 0 to 100, where a high score indicates major dysfunction. The evaluation of the ED decrease will be performed by using a measuring tape measuring the distance between the lower medial edge of the scapula and the 7th thoracic vertebra, having as a parameter the measurement in centimeters10 (ANNEX 3).

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary: the improvement of daily activities and the decrease in ED. To assess the individual's functional capacity to perform daily activities, the Disabilities of the Arm Shoulders and Hand (DASH) scale (ANNEX 2) will be used, consisting of 30 items, 6 items about symptoms and 24 items about function. At least 27 of the 30 items must be answered. Each question answered will have a maximum value of 5 points. These values ??will be transformed into a score of 100 by subtracting 1 and multiplying by 25 [(Sum of answers / n) -1] x 25]. This transformation is performed to compare scores with other scales from 0 to 100, where a high score indicates great dysfunction. The evaluation of the ED decrease will be performed by using a measuring tape measuring the distance between the lower medial edge of the scapula and the 7th thoracic vertebra, having as a parameter the measurement in centimeters( ANNEX 3).
