Dextrose Therapy on Physical Therapy in Subdeltoid Bursitis
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Physical therapy and hypertonic dextrose prolotherapy are often used to treat subdeltoid bursitis. This study aims to investigate the effects of hypertonic dextrose injection on physical therapy through a double-blind, randomized study.

Phase 4 |
Detailed Description
A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial will be conducted to collect 44 patients with subdeltoid bursitis. In the first week and the third week, a total of 20% hypertonic dextrose 10 mL (experimental group) and normal saline 10 mL (placebo group) will be injected under sonographic guidance, and physical therapy (hot shoulder pack, interference wave, and exercise for 20 minutes each) 3 times per week for one month will be arranged. Shoulder pain by visual analog scale, 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) and high-resolution ultrasound examination will be arranged at before treatment, one week after treatment (i.e., one week after injection), one month, and three months after injection.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Shoulder pain and disability index [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
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Disabilities of the arm, shoulder, and hand [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
- Visual analog scale [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
- range of motion [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
