Treatment options for shoulder injuries affecting sleep quality

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the effectiveness of four conservative treatment interventions for patients with supraspinatus tendon injuries who experience sleep disturbances due to shoulder pain. The interventions include a Depo-Medrol® injection, rehabilitation, a nerve block with lidocaine, and Tropocells® PRP injection. The study aims to compare the speed, effectiveness, and durability of these treatments in improving sleep quality, pain, and shoulder function. Additionally, it will assess the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) at various time points before and after the interventions.
