Subacromial Injection With Corticosteroid Versus Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs (NSAID) in Shoulder Impingement Syndrome

NCT01449448 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Injection with corticosteroid is one of the most common non-operative interventions in the treatment of subacromial impingement; however, its use is limited by its potential side effects (e.g. tendon rupture, subcutaneous atrophy, articular cartilage changes). The objective of this study was to compare the efficacy of subacromial injection of triamcinolone compared to injection of ketorolac. Thirty-two patients diagnosed with external shoulder impingement syndrome were included in this double-blinded randomized controlled clinical trial. Each patient was randomized into the Steroid group or NSAID group.
