Summary

This study compares two treatments for long-term shoulder pain caused by rotator cuff problems. One group gets injections of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) made from their own blood, plus a personalized exercise program. The other group gets standard steroid injections with the same exercise plan. The goal is to see which approach provides better pain relief and lasting improvement. The trial involves 86 adults aged 35-75 with chronic shoulder pain.
