Connective Tissue Matrix Compared to Steroid Injections for Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The goal of the study is to see which is better at treating patients which rotator cuff tendinopathy (RCT): a single injection of Connective Tissue Matrix boost (CTM) or a steroid shot. Patients will be randomized (like flipping a coin) to the treatment. Patients and researchers will be blinded (not know) what group the patients are in. Patients will come back to the study clinic at 6 weeks, 3 months and 6 months after the shot to answer questionnaires, have a physical exam, and complete physical function tests to check their shoulder.
