Performance and Safety Evaluation of Type I Collagen (MD-Shoulder Collagen Medical Device) in the Treatment of Rotator Cuff Syndrome ''ROPIRAMED PILOT STUDY''
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating MD-Shoulder Collagen Medical Device for Rotator Cuff Tendinitis and 4 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 24 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Rotator Cuff Syndrome is a commonly encountered musculoskeletal disorder in clinical practice, with an incidence ranging from 0.3% to 5.5%, and an annual prevalence of 0.5% to 7.4%. In addition, over time, with a monthly rate of 0.26%, this condition can progress to complete rotator cuff tendon injury resulting in worsening pain and shoulder function. The etiology of Rotator Cuff Syndrome is still controversial. What the investigators know is that in tendinopathies there are histological changes in the structure of the tendons, resulting in a change in the mechanical properties of the tendons and leading to a chronic often disabling pain condition. Although conservative therapy should still be considered the first choice in cuff tendinopathies, The clinical results of the various types of nonsurgical treatments are still mixed and often show poor efficacy. This explains the growing interest of the scientific community in developing new biological therapies that can both improve shoulder function and promote tendon healing. The aim of the study is to evaluate, through the Constant Murley Score (CMS), the performance of intra-articular treatment with a collagen-based medical device (MD-Shoulder Collagen Medical Device) in recovering joint function and reducing pain in Rotator Cuff Syndrome.

Timeline
Interventions
Only one experimental group is scheduled by the Investigation Plan to be treated with 2-mL volume ultrasound-guided infiltrations of MD-Shoulder Collagen Medical Device (GUNA, Milan-Italy). Subjects will be treated with number one ultrasound-guided infiltration at the time of enrollment, 2 weeks after enrollment, and 4 weeks after enrollment. Intra-articular infiltrations will be performed with 5cc syringes and 22-gauge needles. MD-Shoulder Collagen Medical Device will be infiltrated within the scapulohumeral joint under conditions of complete asepsis.
