Cross-linked and Non-cross-linked Hyaluronic Acid in Subdeltoid Bursitis

July 18, 2024 updated by: Ru-Lan Hsieh, Taipei Medical University

Comparing the Efficacy of Cross-Linked and Non-Cross-Linked Hyaluronic Acid in Treating Subdeltoid Bursitis: A Double-Blind, Randomized Clinical Trial

This study aims to compare the efficacy of different structures of hyaluronic acid, namely cross-linked and non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid, in treating subdeltoid bursitis.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

A double-blind, randomized clinical trial will be conducted to collect 52 patients with subdeltoid bursitis. The patients will be injected with cross-linked or non-cross-linked hyaluronic acid under ultrasound guidance. Before treatment, one week after treatment (i.e., one week after injection), one month after treatment, and three months after treatment to detect shoulder pain (visual analog scale; pressure ergometer to measure pain pressure threshold), function (including Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand: DASH and Shoulder Pain and Disability Index: SPADI), quality of life (Brief version of the World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale: WHOQOL-BREF) will be arranged.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Shoulder pain and disability index
Time Frame: score change from baseline to 1 week, 1 month and 3 months after treatment
measure shoulder pain and disability, ranges from 0-100, higher scores indicate more pain or disability
score change from baseline to 1 week, 1 month and 3 months after treatment

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Disabilities of the arm, shoulder, and hand
Time Frame: score change from baseline to 1 week, 1 month and 3 months after treatment
measure sports/music and work related to shoulder pain, ranges from 0-100, higher scores indicate more pain or disability
score change from baseline to 1 week, 1 month and 3 months after treatment
Visual analog scale
Time Frame: score change from baseline to 1 week, 1 month and 3 months after treatment
measure shoulder pain, ranges from 0-10, higher score indicate more pain
score change from baseline to 1 week, 1 month and 3 months after treatment
range of motion
Time Frame: score change from baseline to 1 week, 1 month and 3 months after treatment
measure shoulder range of motion, higher score indicate higher range of motion
score change from baseline to 1 week, 1 month and 3 months after treatment
Brief version of the World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale
Time Frame: score change from baseline to 1 week, 1 month and 3 months after treatment
measure quality of life, ranges from 0-100, higher scores indicate better quality of life
score change from baseline to 1 week, 1 month and 3 months after treatment
