Shot in the arm: which injection works best for shoulder arthritis?

NCT ID NCT04949087

Summary

This study aims to find out which type of injection works better for relieving shoulder arthritis pain: a common steroid shot or a newer platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection. Researchers will compare these treatments in 200 adults with painful shoulder arthritis to see which provides better pain relief and might delay the need for surgery. The study is double-blind, meaning neither patients nor doctors know which injection is given.
