Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will be performed to examine the effect of ultrasound-guided subacromial sodium hyaluronate injection in patients with impingement syndrome without rotator cuff complete tear.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Rotator cuff disease in particular is a common cause of shoulder pain and weakness and comprises a significant proportion of the musculoskeletal complaints presenting to primary care doctors. Ultrasound is a readily available and cheap modality for looking more specifically at the rotator cuff and surrounding structures. More recently, ultrasound guidance has become a commonly employed method to perform diagnostic or therapeutic interventions. Despite the long history and the fact that this is a common diagnosis made in clinical practice, the exact cause and best treatment for this condition still are being explored. Although there are a few high-quality studies demonstrating the efficacy of sodium hyaluronate injection for rotator cuff disease, this study will be performed to examine the effect of ultrasound-guided subacromial sodium hyaluronate injection in patients with impingement syndrome without rotator cuff complete tear.
