Reflection of power DOPPLER activity in the subacromial space on nocturnal pain in patients with rotator cuff tears: a cross-sectional study.

Background: Nocturnal shoulder pain is seen in patients with rotator cuff tears (RCTs). The purpose of the present study was to determine whether Doppler ultrasound parameters predict the intensity of nocturnal pain in patients with RCTs.

Methods: A total of 60 patients with RCTs were included.

Blood flow velocity in the anterior humeral circumflex artery and tear size can predict synovitis severity in patients with rotator cuff tears.

Background: Rotator cuff tears are often associated with synovitis, but the ability of noninvasive ultrasonography to predict the severity of synovitis remains unclear. We investigated whether ultrasound parameters, namely peak systolic velocity in the anterior humeral circumflex artery and Doppler activity in the glenohumeral joint and subacromial space, reflect synovitis severity.

Methods: A total of 54 patients undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair were selected.

A new perspective on tissue gliding dysfunction bordered by deep fascia as an indicator of delayed onset muscle soreness: A case report.

Introduction: The deep fascia, especially its thickness and stiffness, plays an important role in the mechanism of delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS). Here, we present a patient with DOMS associated with a tissue gliding dysfunction bordered by the deep fascia.

Case Presentation: A 25-year-old woman developed DOMS of the left upper arm.

Synchronization of Blood Flow Velocity in the Anterior Humeral Circumflex Artery and Reduction in Night Pain After Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair: A Case Report.

Rotator cuff tears are commonly associated with pain at rest and at night particularly if lying on the affected shoulder. This case describes a 54-year-old man who reported concerns of severe night pain in his left shoulder and had to undergo arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. The severity of night pain and blood flow velocity in the anterior humeral circumflex artery (AHCA) were measured over time.

Successful Pain Relief With Duloxetine in a Patient With Chronic Postsurgical Pain After Open Reduction and Internal Fixation: A Case Report.

Chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP) is a common complication of surgery. We report that a patient with CPSP after open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) had pain relief with duloxetine, and that the conditioned pain modulation (CPM) efficiency may predict the efficacy of duloxetine. A 54-year-old woman with CPSP after ORIF due to proximal humeral fracture was presented to our orthopedic clinic one month after surgery.
