Study Arms (2)

IONTOPHORESIS

EXPERIMENTAL

The group that received 75 mg diclofenac sodium with Chattanooga Physio device.

Procedure: Iontophoresis Intervention; Procedure: Conventional Therapy

PHONOPHORESIS

EXPERIMENTAL

It is a treatment performed by applying 75 mg of 1% diclofenac sodium gel to the intervention area with the Chattanooga ultrasound device.

Procedure: Phonophoresis; Procedure: Conventional Therapy

Interventions

Iontophoresis Intervention PROCEDURE

Iontophoresis was applied with a Chattanooga Physio (DJO Global, Herentals, Belgium) brand device. The galvanic current mode was selected for the intervention. Intervention area was cleaned to prevent irritation and active electrode pad (cathode-5 cm2) was immersed in 75 mg diclofenac sodium solution. The current intensity of the application for 10 minutes was 0.1-0.2 mA/cm2.

IONTOPHORESIS

Phonophoresis PROCEDURE

Phonophoresis was performed with a Chattanooga brand ultrasound device (Chattanooga, Intelect Legend Ultrasound, TN, USA). 75 mg gel containing 1% diclofenac sodium was applied to the shoulder area. The ultrasound was conducted continuously for 6 minutes with frequency of 1 MHz and an intensity of 1.5 watts/cm2.

PHONOPHORESIS

Conventional Therapy PROCEDURE

All groups received a treatment program consisting of hot pack, Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation and Shoulder girdle exercises for 30 minutes.

IONTOPHORESIS; PHONOPHORESIS
