Summary

This study tested whether injecting sugar water (dextrose) around a nerve in the shoulder can reduce chronic pain. 120 adults with shoulder pain lasting over 6 months received either a 5% or 10% dextrose solution under ultrasound guidance. The goal was to see if these injections improve pain, movement, and daily function.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
dextrose (sugar water) injection
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a simple, low-cost injection option to ease chronic shoulder pain and improve mobility without surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial comparing two sugar-water solutions. The effect may be modest, and results may not apply to all shoulder pain causes.
