Official Title: Effectiveness of High Intensity Laser Therapy in the Treatment of Subacromial Impingement Syndrome
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of high intensity laser therapy in the treatment of subacromial impingement syndrome.
Detailed Summary:
Shoulder pain has a high prevalence in our society, several studies estimate an annual prevalence between 5% and 47%. It is one of the main causes of musculoskeletal pain, particularly in third place, after the low back pain and neck pain.
Symptoms of pathologies of subacromial space impingement syndrome, where, regardless of origin, pain is the number one symptom for the patient, which emanates functional impairment and the impact on quality of life. Because of the need to implement research to assess the effectiveness of high intensity laser therapy with new studies mayor methodological quality of obtaining conclusive results, and based on the scientific evidence supporting the low-power laser therapy as a useful tool in addressing the shoulder tendon pathology, we consider very interesting the realization of this research project.

Current Primary Outcome:
- Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) [ Time Frame: Baseline ]SPADI test
- Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) [ Time Frame: At the end of the laser protocol treatment (1 daily session during 15 workday -from monday to friday-) ]SPADI test
- Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) [ Time Frame: one month after the end of the protocol treatment ]SPADI test
- Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) [ Time Frame: three months after the end of the protocol treatment ]SPADI test
- Constant-Murley Score [ Time Frame: Baseline ]Constant-Murley Score without strength section. The results will be expressed on a maximum of 75 points.
- Constant-Murley Score [ Time Frame: At the end of the laser protocol treatment (1 daily session during 15 workday -from monday to friday-) ]Constant-Murley Score without strength section. The results will be expressed on a maximum of 75 points.
- Constant-Murley Score [ Time Frame: one month after the end of the protocol treatment ]Constant-Murley Score without strength section. The results will be expressed on a maximum of 75 points.
- Constant-Murley Score [ Time Frame: three months after the end of the protocol treatment ]
Original Primary Outcome: Same as current
Current Secondary Outcome:
- Painful pressure threshold [ Time Frame: Baseline, at the of the 15 sessions, one month after the end of the protocol treatment, three months after the end of the protocol treatment ]The pressure pain threshold will be measured by a pressure algometer and will be expressed in Newton.
- Painful pressure threshold after first session [ Time Frame: First session - 15 minutes after laser or sham treatment. ]The pressure pain threshold will be measured by a pressure algometer and will be expressed in Newton.
- VAS [ Time Frame: Baseline, at the of the 15 sessions, one month after the end of the protocol treatment, three months after the end of the protocol treatment ]Visual analogue scale
Original Secondary Outcome: Same as current
