Comparison Between Platelet Rich Plasma and Corticosteroids for the Treatment of Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy Randomized Controlled Double Blind Clinical Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Corticosteroid and Plathet rich plasma for Shoulder Tendinopaty. Completed, enrolled 100 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to test if Plateth-rich plasma would provide improved pain relief and function in patients with rotator cuff tendinopathy compared to standard treatment of corticosterone injections. Researchers will compare a control group of patients treated with a corticosterone injection with a case group of patients treated with Plateth-rich plasma injection. The purpose of this study is to perform a double-blind randomized controlled trial, comparing PRP with corticosteroids to provide pain relief and improve function in patients with rotator cuff tendinopathy. The hypothesis of this study is that PRP would provide improved pain relief and function in patients with rotator cuff tendinopathy compared to standard treatment of CS injections.
