A Randomized, Double-Blinded, Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trial Evaluating the Effectiveness of Daily Vibration After Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair

この研究はハイインパクトの可能性があります。 OEのAI駆動型ハイインパクト指標は、論文が掲載されたジャーナルと論文自体の科学的内容の両方からのシグナルを統合することで、論文が持つ可能性の高い影響力を推定します。 最先端の自然言語処理を用いて開発されたOEハイインパクトモデルは、ジャーナルのインパクトファクターのみよりも、研究の将来の引用実績をより正確に予測します。 これにより、臨床的に意義のある研究をより早く認識することが可能になり、読者は将来の診療を形成する可能性が最も高い論文に集中することができます。

120 patients diagnosed with a rotator cuff tear undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair were randomly assigned to receive a high-frequency, low-magnitude vibration treatment or a placebo treatment for 6 months following surgery. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of high-frequency, low-magnitude vibration on retear rate and to determine if this treatment provides any additional benefits over placebo treatment in terms of shoulder strength, range of motion or pain severity/frequency following surgery. No significant differences in retear rates were observed between groups at 6 months, and the application of high-frequency, low-magnitude vibration was found to provide no additional benefits over placebo treatment in terms of VAS pain scores, frequency of pain, severity of pain, shoulder strength, range of motion, or patient satisfaction, as patients in both groups demonstrated similar improvement in all parameters. It was noted that the application of vibration at 6 weeks had a significant effect on acute pain.
