Abstract

The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of low-level laser treatment (LLLT) and extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) in the treatment of subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS). Seventy-one patients with subacromial impingement were randomly assigned to LLLT (n = 37) and ESWT (n = 34) groups. The patients received a total of 15 sessions of LLLT or once a week for 3 sessions of ESWT. All patients, before treatment, at the end of treatment, and 3 months after treatment, were evaluated with range of motion (ROM), visual analogue pain scale (VAS pain), Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI), Beck Depression and Anxiety Inventories, the Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). In both groups, there was a significant improvement in all outcome measures (p < 0.05) except the mental health score in the LLLT group. ESWT group showed more improvements in terms of SPADI disability and total scores, PSQI, and physical-mental health scores at the end of treatment (p < 0.05). The improvement in VAS pain day and SPADI scores at the third month was significantly more evident in the ESWT group (p < 0.05). Both LLLT and ESWT treatments are effective in the treatment of SIS in the short-medium term and can be used in clinical practice. Future larger prospective clinical trials are needed to investigate the long-term efficacy and optimal treatment protocol of LLLT and ESWT in SIS.
