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.
