Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Ultrasound guided Corticosteroid injection  Corticosteroid injection solution will be prepared by a combination of 1 ml of triamcinolone acetate (40mg/ml) and 1 ml of 0.5% bupivacaine. The patient will be made to lie comfortably in supine position with the affected arm in neutral rotation. The skin of the anterior shoulder will be prepped and draped in a sterile fashion. The transducer of the ultrasound will be placed longitudinally over the bicipital groove and a 22 gauge spinal needle will be introduced at a 30 degree angle in a distal to proximal direction, with the long axis of the transducer being parallel to the axis of the needle producing an in plane ultrasonographic view of the needle. 2 ml of the corticosteroid solution will then be administered with the distension of the bicipital sheath by the injectate being visible under ultrasound. Needle will then be removed and local homeostasis will be achieved by applying pressure over the injection site 
Intervention  Ultrasound guided platelet rich plasma injection  PRP will be prepared using the double spin method. Whole blood will be drawn in a 20ml syringe by venipuncture which is then transferred to Acid Citrate Dextrose tubes. These tubes are then centrifuged using a soft spin at 2400 rpm for ten minutes. The supernatant plasma containing platelets is then collected in a separate plain vial and then centrifuged again using a hard spin of 3600 rpm for 15 minutes to obtain a platelet concentrate. The lower 1/3rd is platelet rich plasma (PRP) and upper 2/3rd is platelet poor plasma (PPP). 2ml of PRP will then be procured by removing the PPP. The patient will be made to lie comfortably in supine position with the affected arm in neutral rotation. The skin of the anterior shoulder will be prepped and draped in a sterile fashion. The transducer of the ultrasound will be placed longitudinally over the bicipital groove and a 22 gauge spinal needle will be introduced at a 30 degree angle in a distal to proximal direction, with the long axis of the transducer being parallel to the axis of the needle producing an in plane ultrasonographic view of the needle. 2 ml of the freshly prepared PRP will then be administered with the distension of the bicipital sheath by the injectate being visible under ultrasound. Needle will then be removed and local homeostasis will be achieved by applying pressure over the injection site.
