Effectiveness of subacromial injections in rotator cuff lesions: systematic review and meta-analysis protocol.

Introduction: Subacromial injections are therapeutic options for rotator cuff injuries, with consistent results not well established yet for each drug applied. The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to analyse the effectiveness of the substances used in subacromial injections for the treatment of rotator cuff injuries and shoulder impingement syndrome, considering the functional gain and pain improvement of the shoulder.

Methods And Analysis: Beginning in November 2022, we will perform a detailed search using the MEDLINE/PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials and LILACS databases.
