The Effects of Magnet Therapy on Pain and Disability in Patients with Shoulder Impingement Syndrome

Background: Shoulder pain felt when performing daily activities is a common complaint at all ages. impingement syndrome one of the most causes shoulder pain. Since this disease relatively prevalent, there an urgent need to develop treatment method with fewer complications. Magnet therapy (MT) therapies that has been recently used treat various musculoskeletal disorders. Objectives: This study aimed evaluate effects MT on and disability in patients syndrome. Methods: In double-blind clinical trial study, 60 diagnosed were randomly assigned three groups including "MT 18 Hz" group, 100 "Sham" group. All received times week for four weeks addition routine treatment. sham was as placebo. electrotherapy exercise therapy. Before after treatment, level evaluated by NRS scale, assessed Disabilities Arm, Shoulder, Hand Questionnaire (DASH), range motion measured using goniometer. The values obtained compared before Results: intragroup comparison revealed statistically significant improvement variables (including score, DASH, motion) (P < 0.05). intergroup comparison, other hand, showed no difference any > Conclusions: It concluded physiotherapy significantly reduced well improved motions Moreover, magnet two frequencies Hz along had additional positive effect recovery process
