Interventions
Drug: platelet rich plasma
Drug: Corticosteroid
Drug: Normal saline
Registration Number
NCT05603468
Lead Sponsor
Second Affiliated Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University
Brief Summary

Prospective, multicenter, randomized, single-blinded, parallel group,placebo-controlled,three-group establishment of specific treatment regimen for subtypes of tendinopathy

Detailed Description

This clinical trial uses machine learning to match molecular and clinical features,so as to establish a "rapid recognition system of tendinopathy subtypes" and compares the clinical effects of corticosteroid,platelet rich plasma or placebo on different subtypes of tendinopathy.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Oxford Shoulder Score (OSS)6months after surgery

The Oxford Shoulder Score (OSS) consists of 12 questions with five options each. The light to heavy lines were assigned 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 points respectively. So the total score is between 12 and 60. A score of 12 represents perfectly normal shoulder function and a score of 60 represents the most severe difficulty in shoulder function.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Fear-avoidance belief questionnaire(FABQ)3 months, 6months, 1year, and 2years after surgery

The FABQ is a self-assessment scale with 16 options. Each option has 0\~6 points and 7 grades (from extremely disagreeable to extremely agreed). "0" means completely disagreed, "6" means completely agreed, and "1\~5" means not sure. The higher the score, the more inclined to fully agree.

SF-363 months, 6months, 1year, and 2years after surgery

SF-36 is a concise health questionnaire developed by the Boston Institute of Health, which is widely used in the measurement of the quality of life of the general population, the evaluation of clinical trials and the evaluation of health policies. SF-36 is used to assess physiological function, physiological function, physical pain, general health, energy, social function, emotional function and mental health, which are classified into "physical health" and "mental health"

Constant-Mulery score(CMS)3 months, 6months, 1year, and 2years after surgery

The Constant-Mulery score mainly includes 8 aspects related to your shoulder in the past 4 weeks.

The proportion of subjective and objective components in the Constant-Mulery score is 35 points/65 points. A total of 100 points.The subjective part of the score includes the score of pain degree and the score of impact on daily life. 35 points in total.The objective part of the score includes the score of shoulder range of motion and strength. 65 points in total.

muscle strength3 months, 6months, 1year, and 2years after surgery

Use dynamometer to evaluate patient's forward bending, abduction, external rotation and internal rotation strength.

retear rate3 months, 6months, 1year, and 2years after surgery

Proportion of the total number of people with retearing after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair

Signal to noise ratio of tendon in MRI3 months, 6months, 1year, and 2years after surgery

Measurement of Signal to Noise Ratio of Tendon in MRI based on software

Oxford Shoulder Score (OSS)3 months, 1year, and 2years after surgery

The Oxford Shoulder Score (OSS) consists of 12 questions with five options each. The light to heavy lines were assigned 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 points respectively. So the total score is between 12 and 60. A score of 12 represents perfectly

Insomnia Severity Index(ISI)3 months, 6months, 1year, and 2years after surgery

The scale is a simple tool for screening insomnia, including 7 items, which are used to evaluate the nature and symptoms of sleep disorders of subjects.

Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale(HADS)3 months, 6months, 1year, and 2years after surgery

HADS is a self-assessment scale, including two subscales, HADS-A and HADS-D, with a total of 14 items, including 7 items for anxiety (A) and 7 items for depression (D). Each item is scored at four levels according to the frequency of symptoms in the past month. Each item is scored at 0-3 points in four levels. The higher the score, the more serious the anxiety or depression.

range of motion3 months, 6months, 1year, and 2years after surgery

Measure the patient's flexion, abduction, internal rotation and external rotation angle

Visual analogue scale(VAS)3 months, 6months, 1year, and 2years after surgery

Draw a 10cm horizontal line on the paper. One end of the line is "0", indicating no pain; the other end is "10", indicating severe pain; The middle represents different degrees of pain; Let the patient draw a mark on the horizontal line according to their feelings to indicate the degree of pain.
