Summary

This study tested whether secukinumab, an injected drug, can reduce pain and improve function in adults with moderate to severe rotator cuff tendinopathy (shoulder tendon injury) who did not improve with standard treatments. 62 participants received either secukinumab or a placebo over 24 weeks. The main goal was to measure changes in shoulder-related quality of life using a patient questionnaire.
