    The document discusses two randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on non-pharmacological treatments for rotator cuff disease and post-operative pain. The first RCT found transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation reduced pain and disability more than standard treatment. The second RCT found relaxation techniques can decrease narcotic use after rotator cuff repair, though initial pain was unchanged.

    RESEARCH STUDY DESIGNS

    The first RCT study is on TENS' effect as a viable treatment method for pt. with

    c/o pain and functional disability d/t rotator cuff disease. Seventy homogenous SPADI

    participants without a cognitive disability can participate for five consecutive days and

    screen for bleeding disorders, cardiac pacemakers, or any upper limbs' nerve injuries.

    Results showed a significant impact in reducing pain level and functional disability level

    among patients with rotator cuff disease in the control group but transcutaneous

    electrical nerve stimulation therapy and standard treatment has a more significant role

    in reducing pain level and functional disability level among patients with rotator cuff

    disease than the control group. The second RCT study uses relaxation exercise for pt—

    c/o pain p/o rotator cuff repair. One hundred fifty-one total participants received nerve

    blocker (pre-op), oxycodone, acetaminophen, and cryotherapy (post-op), but seventy-

    five underwent relaxation education on breathing techniques; the rest did not. It initially

    showed no significant difference, but forty-three of the controlled group reported

    relaxation techniques decreased their pain levels at two weeks. The conclusion

    revealed no difference in pain measures between the treatment and control groups, but

    relaxation techniques can be used to implement a nonpharmacologic strategy to

    decrease narcotics consumption significantly.

    These two RCT studies showed how detailed methodology and empirical results

    matter, especially in the field of the PT profession, as the smallest mistake might put our

    pt. 's lives and license in danger. With the correct modality and parameters, we can help

    our pt. better, primarily as our field mostly uses exercises as treatment, knowing that
    breathing exercise affects a person's pain level, combining it with accurate exercise

    prescription would make an intervention effective, encouraging our patients and future

    people to undergo physical rehabilitation.
