Summary

This study compares four non-surgical treatments for a common shoulder tendon injury (supraspinatus tear) that causes pain and sleep problems. The treatments include a steroid injection, a nerve block, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and rehabilitation. Researchers will track pain, shoulder function, and sleep quality over six months in 40 adults aged 40-75. The goal is to find which approach works best and fastest.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: methylprednisolone acetate, lidocaine, platelet-rich plasma (PRP)
What this could lead to: If successful, this could identify the best non-surgical treatment to relieve shoulder pain and improve sleep quality for people with rotator cuff injuries.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early-stage study with only 40 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The treatments are well-known, but individual responses can vary.
