Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>The primary objective of this study is to analyse the difference in functional<br /><br>outcome, measured by the Constant Murley Scale at midterm follow-up, after<br /><br>treatment with high-energy ESWT versus ultrasound-guided needling in patients<br /><br>with symptomatic calcific tendinitis of the rotator cuff.</p><br>

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>* VAS (pain) scale<br /><br>* VAS (satisfaction) scale<br /><br>* Patient reported change in symptoms (7 point likert scale)<br /><br>* Disability of the Arm Shoulder and Hand (DASH) score<br /><br>* The presence or resorption of the calcific deposits on conventional<br /><br>radiography of the shoulder<br /><br>* Work-ability score questionnaire </p><br>
