Recruiting NA Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy

New treatment option for Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy

Official title Tight Control for Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06517680

What this study is testing

What it's testing
The main objective of the study is to determine whether tight management of patients in early rotator cuff tendinopathy would lead to better clinical improvement than standard management. In a randomized study, we propose to compare two types of management, with a tight control group having one consultation per month for the first 3 months, in order to readapt or intensify management, whereas the control group will only be seen at 3 months after inclusion.
  • Which group you join is decided by chance.
