N2  - Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of Phonophoresis versus Iontophoresis in relieving pain and increase range of motion in patients with supraspinatus tendinitis. Method: 30patients with supraspinatus tendinitis were divided in two groups (A) 15 patients received lidocaine hydrochloride 2%gel Phonophoresis with 1MHz and intensity 1.5W/cm2 for 5 min for 12 sessions and each session time was 35 min, (B) 15 patients received lidocaine hydrocloride 2% solution Iontophoresis with current intensity 0.5mA/min for 5 min. for 12 sessions and each session time was 35 min, Results: Statistical analysis revealed that there was a significant increase in shoulder range of moion (flexion, abduction, external rotation) measured by inclinometer between before and after treatment in group A. (17.77%,23.43%,27.27%) in group B (18.97%, 39.82%,52.83%)and significant decrease in the pain level measured by VAS between before and after treatment in the two experimental groups with percentages of (43.03%,89.87%). Conclusion: there is a significant improvement in ROM of both groups with increased percentage in iontophoresis application. Pain is deceased significantly in iontophoresis group than phonophoresis group
