- Being tested
- Prolotherapy, Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT)
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
ProlotherapyProcedure or surgery
Prolotherapy is an injection of a relatively small volume of an irritant or sclerosing solution at sites of painful ligament and/or tendon insertions, and in adjacent joint space over the course of several treatment sessions
Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT)Device
Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT), a kind of physical modalities, generating acoustic pulses, that are high positive pressure amplitudes, subsequently transferring concentrated energy to small focal distant areas of 2-8 mm in diameter
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Prolotherapy | Experimental | Solution 3.6 mL of 25% dextrose and 0.4 mL xylocaine total 4.0 mL And Solution 3.5 mL of 15% dextrose and 0.8 mL xylocaine total 4.3 mL each site Injection interval week 0, 3 and 6 Ultrasound guided injection Injection into enthesis points Receives: Procedure: Prolotherapy |
| Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) | Active comparator | ESWT Treatment interval week 0, 1 and 2 Energy intensity 0.20-0.25 mJ/mm2 per impulse Frequency 4-5 Hz for 2,000 shocks Receives: Device: Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) |

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Prolotherapy and Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) in people with Chronic Rotator Cuff Tendinopathy, run by Mahidol University at 1 site in Thailand.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Nov 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Thailand. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
VAS score (time frame: Assessment at baseline, three weeks, six weeks, three months and six months after the end of the treatment). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06700746, which also lists 2 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 22 Nov 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
