Effectiveness of Noninvasive Phrenic Nerve Neuromodulation in Shoulder Pain and Hepatobiliary Visceral Comorbidity. 34

Recruiting
Clinical Trial NCT06296979 is an interventional study for Shoulder Pain that is recruiting. It started on 20 March 2024 with plans to enroll 34 participants. Led by University of Seville, it is expected to complete by 1 December 2026. The latest data from ClinicalTrials.gov was last updated on 2 April 2025.
Brief Summary
Pain, particularly shoulder pain, is a social and economic problem worldwide. Although visceral pathology is not yet taken into account in the diagnosis of these pains, it is likely that on numerous occasions the hepatobiliary visceral condition causes referred pain in the metameric area belonging to the shoulder due to the involvement of the phrenic nerve. Therefore, the aim of this project is to study the response ...Show More
Detailed Description
Approximately 80% of patients with liver disease suffer chronic pain and fatigue, which can lead to sensitization of the central and peripheral nervous system. Central sensitization is an increase in the responsiveness of neurons within the central nervous system, which can lead to generalized pain hypersensitivity. It has been shown that some lesions or inflammatory processes can trigger changes in the nervous syste...Show More

ExperimentalTranscutaneous electrical nerve stimulation
The intervention group will receive the usual physiotherapy treatment at the health center and will also receive neuromodulation on the phrenic nerve at its exit through the anterior cervical region. The neuromodulation technique will be applied for 10 minutes.

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome MeasureMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Numeric Pain Rating Scale
Perceived pain. Self-perceived pain intensity will be evaluated by a 0 to 10 Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS), where 0 denotes no pain and 10 denotes the maximum possible pain.
pre-treatment, 1 week, 4 week, 12 week.
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome MeasureMeasure DescriptionTime Frame
Algometry
Pain threshold to pressure at specific tender points of the shoulder: infraspinatus, deltoid and trapezius. PPT levels defined as the minimum pressure required to evoke pain will be assessed using a portable electronic pressure algometer. Change from baseline on algometry. The units of measurement of pressure pain will be Kg/cm2.
pre-treatment, 1 week, 4 week, 12 week.
Goniometry passive
measurement of passive pain-free ranges of motion of flexion, internal rotation, external rotation and abduction of the right shoulder with a portable goniometer. the unit of measurement shall be the degree of movement.
pre-treatment, 1 week, 4 week, 12 week.
Quick Dash questionnaire
Questionnaire that measures the function of the upper limb. It is composed of 11 items that are rated from 1 to 5, from least to most difficult to perform certain movements.
pre-treatment, 1 week, 4 week, 12 week.
Goniometriy active
measurement of active pain-free ranges of motion of flexion, internal rotation, external rotation and abduction of the right shoulder with a portable goniometer. the unit of measurement shall be the degree of movement.
pre-treatment, 1 week, 4 week, 12 week.
