as a diagnostic tool as well as a therapeutic tool for shoulder pain due to rotator cuff pathology. Thus, many patients who undergo shoulder imaging evaluation have a history of subacromial injection. Several studies have been done to evaluate the accuracy of subacromial injection. Most studies have revealed not only the difficulty of an accurate injection into the subacromial bursa, but also t...

BACKGROUND Subacromial injection of a local anesthetic is used to eliminate pain as a confounding factor in clinical assessment of abduction strength in shoulders with a suspected rotator cuff tear. If strength remains diminished despite pain relief, a rotator cuff tear is likely. The effect of injecting local anesthetic into the subacromial space on the strength of a normal shoulder is unknown...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate effects of subacromial bursa injection with steroid according to dosage and to investigate whether hyaluronidase can reduce steroid dosage. METHODS Thirty patients with periarticular shoulder disorder were assigned to receive subacromial bursa injection once a week for two consecutive weeks. Ten patients (group A) underwent subacromial bursa injection with triamcinolone ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of repeated steroid injection at subacromial bursa with different interval for patient with periarticular shoulder disorder. METHODS Group A (n=10) received subacromial bursa injection only on their first visit, group C (n=10) received the injection on their first visit and one week later, and group B (n=10) received the injection on their first visit and two...

[Purpose] This review article is designed to expose the application of sonography in shoulder pain after stroke. [Methods] A range of databases was searched to identify articles that address sonography examination, with or without ultrasound guided corticosteroid injection for hemiplegic shoulder pain (HSP). The electronic databases of PubMed, CENTRAL, CINAHL, Cochrane Library, Medline were sea...

Multisite corticosteroid injection therapy is more effective in terms of pain relief, restoration motion, and functional status than single intra-articular for the treatment primary frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis).

Background and aim: The third stage of labour is one of the most troublesome stages of child delivery. The basic principle of the third stage management is administrating prophylactic uterotonics. However, the time of its administration varies in different hospitals. This study aimed to determine the effect of intramuscular oxytocin injection after emergence of the fetal anterior shoulder or pl...

BACKGROUND Intra-articular corticosteroid injection is a common therapy for adhesive capsulitis, but there is a lack of prospective randomized controlled studies analyzing the efficacy of single injections applied blindly to accelerate improvement in pain and function. HYPOTHESIS In patients with adhesive capsulitis, a single intra-articular corticosteroid injection without image control appl...
