Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare the functional outcomes of patients with shoulder
pathology treated with either ketorolac or corticosteroid injections, in a randomized
double-blinded study. Investigators will compare the effectiveness of ketorolac compared to
corticosteroid.
Specific Aim 1:
Hypothesis 1: Injection of the shoulder (in the subacromial space) with Ketorolac will be
more effective than corticosteroid injection for the treatment of a variety of shoulder
pathologies.
The risks associated with this study primarily concern adverse reactions to the study drugs.
The drugs used in this study are not narcotics or habit-forming but can have side effects.
The patient's physician will screen for any heart, intestinal, or kidney disease or condition
that would increase the chance for the patient to have an unwanted side effect.
