Primary outcomePrimary: Change in Shoulder Function, as Measured by the QuickDASH ® — 19.2; 21.3; 19.1; 24.7 units on a scale
Summary
It is currently unknown whether or not the improvement in pain and function related to a "steroid shot" for shoulder pain due to subacromial bursitis is important. This study seeks to determine whether 20 mg or 40 mg of either triamcinolone or methylprednisolone significantly affect improvement in shoulder pain 6 weeks after injection.
