Comparative effect of triamcinolone/lidocaine ultrasonophoresis and injection on pain, disability, quality of life in patients with acute rotator cuff related shoulder pain: a double blinded randomized controlled trial

CONCLUSIONS: Triamcinolone/lidocaine ultrasonophoresis demonstrated similar outcomes to injection in reducing pain, improving disability, and enhancing quality of life in patients with acute RCRSP in short time. According to our findings, ultrasonophoresis with triamcinolone/lidocaine cream is as effective as triamcinolone/lidocaine injection and can be proposed as a potential adjunctive treatment for patients with acute RCRSP.PMID:38368597 | DOI:10.1080/09593985.2024.2316307
