Efficacy of Tight Treatment in Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy: a Randomized Controlled Trial Versus Standard Standard Management
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. We hypothesize that this close follow-up will lead to more rapid clinical improvement and reduce the transition to chronicity and the associated costs (inclusion of a medico-economic analysis taking into account, in particular, healthcare consumption and time off work).
