Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  USG guided Platelet rich plasma injection  For ultrasound guided platelet rich plasma injection, the patient will be placed in lateral lying position and the procedure will be performed via lateral approach. The platelet rich plasma will be injected at the site of pathology/subacromial space. Only single injection will be given and procedure will take around 5-10 minutes (excluding duration of PRP preparation). 
Comparator Agent  USG guided steroid injection.  For ultrasound corticosteroid injection, the patient will be placed in lateral lying position and the procedure will be performed via lateral approach. Corticosteroid preparation will be injected into the subacromial bursa only. Single injection will given to the patient and the procedure is expected to take 5-10 minutes

Brief Summary  

Shoulder impingement syndrome is most common cause of chronic shoulder pain

often causing limitation in range of movement at the shoulder joint. Shoulder’s

extreme mobility makes these symptoms cause great stress to the patient leading to

decreased quality of life. Rest, NSAIDs and physiotherapy have long been considered

the standard therapies in the majority of cases. However, there are limited treatment

options for the patients who are refractory to these conventional treatments and their

daily life activities are hindered due to the chronicity of symptoms. Corticosteroid

injections with their anti inflammatory effects have been used in such cases for short

term relief but it has some inherent disadvantages such as no long term effects,

infection, tendon ruptures, fat atrophy, etc. So there is need of newer agents that can

provide long-term effects and fewer side effects. Platelet rich plasma is a new

biological agent that has low side effects and can promote healing/regeneration. This

study aims to evaluate the effects of platelet rich plasma administered under USG

guidance and compare its efficacy in the treatment of such patients with shoulder

pathologies who are refractory to conventional treatment against old guard

recommendation of corticosteroids.
