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. Relevant grey literature (reference lists, conference abstracts and academic papers) will also be included.Two reviewers will independently screen and extract the information from the literature. Bias and quality of the included studies will be evaluated using the risk of bias assessment tool provided by the Cochrane Collaboration. Statistical analyses will be performed using Review Manager V.5.4 software.
Ethics And Dissemination: Approval and patient informed consent are not required because we will only include published literature. The results of this research will be disseminated in a peer-reviewed journal and likely through other scientific events.

: The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of ultrasound-guided corticosteroid injection to the subacromial-subdeltoid bursa (SSB) and coracohumeral ligament (CHL) in treating adhesive capsulitis, with a particular focus on evaluating the potential benefits of regular electrotherapy and conventional rehabilitation exercises. : A total of 29 patients with unilateral shoulder pain and restricted shoulder range of motion (ROM) were included. Corticosteroids were delivered to the subacromial-subdeltoid bursa (SSB) and coracohumeral ligament (CHL) through a single percutaneous injection.

Objectives: Rotator cuff tendinitis (RCT) is a tendon inflammation often following subacromial impingement syndrome. One of the non-surgical management modalities for RCT is subacromial injection of corticosteroids. Some studies have claimed a correlation between ACTH (Adrenocorticotropic Hormone) deficiency and rotator cuff lesions; hence, intramuscular ACTH analogue injection has been recommended as an option.

Background: Human placental hydrolysate (hPH) contains anti-inflammatory substances. This study aimed to analyze whether injecting hPH into the subacromial space could reduce pain in patients with shoulder impingement syndrome.
Methods: This single-blind, randomized controlled study enrolled 50 patients with shoulder impingement syndrome who were randomly assigned to either the hPH or placebo groups.

Background: Evidence indicates that central sensitization (CS) plays a role in subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS). Reduced treatment response has been associated with pretreatment pain sensitization features, such as CSrelated symptoms.
Methods: Patients who received subacromial steroid injection were evaluated before the injection, at the first and third months.
Rotator cuff lesions are common causes of shoulder pain. When not treated effectively, the functional loss associated with pain affects the quality of life and brings about psychosocial issues. In this study, prospective observational comparison of the effects of ultrasonography (USG) guided subacromial injection (SAI) versus subacromial injection combined with suprascapular nerve block (SSNB) on pain, functionality and sleep quality in the treatment of shoulder pain unresponsive to conservative treatments due to rotator cuff lesions is made.
