IS'ECHO : Impact of Bursitis on the Efficacy of Subacromial Steroid Injection in Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy
Shoulder pain is a common reason for medical consultation affecting 6.7 % of the adults from 50 to 70 years old and until 21 % of the adults over 70. Among these painful shoulders, rotator cuff tendinopathy represents 44 to 65% of these consultations. To treat this condition, patients usually receive analgesics and physical therapy. When these treatments are not effective, a corticosteroid sub-acromial injection is proposed. However, according to the literature, there is only about 50% of good response to this subacromial injection in rotator cuff tendinopathy. It has been suggested that the injection could be more effective in the presence of an inflammation over the tendons called bursitis. However, no studies have clearly established this. The objective of the study is to determine if the presence of a bursitis could be a factor of good response to corticosteroid injection. The results could allow us to determine which patients have the best profile to respond to subacromial injection. The investigators hope that these data would improve the treatment of this frequent disease.
