About this study

Official title: Comparison of the Effectiveness of the Ultrasound Guided Subacromial, Acromioclavicular With Subacromial Injection and Suprascapular Nerve Block in Patients With Shoulder Impingement Syndrome ; A Randomized Controlled, Single Blind, Clinical Trial

Shoulder pain, which is the third most common cause of musculoskeletal pain, has different etiologies. Muscle, bone structures and connective tissue pathologies can cause shoulder pain. Impingement syndrome (IS), which can cover many terms such as rotator cuff disorders, tendinitis and tears, is one of the most common pathologies of shoulder pain.

Read the detailed description

The hypothesis of this study was that injection types including ACJ would increase treatment efficacy.Therefore, this study investigated the six-month follow-up results of patients undergoing SA injection and SSNB and those receiving SA and ACJ injection.

Being tested
bupivacaine and methylprednisolone
Medical subject headings
Shoulder Impingement Syndrome

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • bupivacaine and methylprednisoloneDrug

    5 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine containing 20 mg methylprednisolone was administered to the subacromial area

  • bupivacaine and methylprednisoloneDrug

    5 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine containing 20 mg methylprednisolone was administered to the subacromial area for the subacromial+acromioclavicular joint injection. In addition, 2 mL of 20 mg methylprednisolone and the same concentration of local anaesthetic were injected into the acromioclavicular joint

  • bupivacaine and methylprednisoloneDrug

    Also called suprascapular nerve block

    suprascapular nerve block was administered with a mixture of 10 mL of 0.25% bupivacaine and 40 mg methylprednisolone

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)

    for pain. 0: no pain at all, 10: worst pain imaginable

    Measured: six month

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Shoulder pain and disability index (SPADI)

    This scale was developed to measure pain and disability associated with shoulder pain. It consists of two parts evaluating pain and disability.

    Measured: six month

  2. Short-Form 12 (SF-12)

    The SF-12 has a physical (SF12-PCS) and mental (SF12-MCS) state assessment scale

    Measured: six month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing bupivacaine and methylprednisolone in people with Shoulder Impingement and Ultrasound Guided Injection, run by Bursa Yuksek Ihtisas Training and Research Hospital.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 6 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Aug 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) (time frame: six month). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 Aug 2021.
