Interventions

High energy density pulse electromagnetic fielddevice

The treatment coil is placed over the shoulder region at the maximum pain point for 9 minutes. A normal energy of high-PEMF with a rate of 2 pulse per second is applied to the patient.

sham High energy density pulse electromagnetic fielddevice

The sham treatment coil is placed over the shoulder region at the maximum pain point for 9 minutes. The setting is the same as the experimental group(normal energy, a rate of 2 pulse per second) with the difference that the energy output doesn't export to the patient.

physiotherapybehavioral

Physiotherapy includes shoulder range of motion (ROM), stretching and muscle strengthening exercises. Under the physiotherapist's guidance, the patient receives the training session about 30 minutes every time.
