Cervicothoracic Mobilization for Supraspinatus Tendinitis

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This randomized controlled trial will enroll 62 adults with supraspinatus tendinitis, assigning 31 to receive cervicothoracic mobilization in addition to conventional physiotherapy and 31 to receive conventional physiotherapy alone. The experimental treatment uses Maitland’s Grade III-IV central PA and transverse oscillatory techniques targeting the cervicothoracic junction (C6-T4). Outcomes include pain with a numeric rating scale, shoulder range of motion, and disability via the SPADI, measured at baseline and after the intervention. Data will be analyzed with independent t-tests using SPSS to determine if the addition of cervicothoracic mobilization yields greater improvements than conventional therapy alone.
