Patients with chronic shoulder pain will be divided randomly into mesotherapy and intra-articular steroid injection groups. Pain severity, range of motion and functional impairment will evaluated before treatment, 30 minutes and 4 weeks after the injections.
The study will include 84 patients aged 18-75 who applied to physical medicine and rehabilitation out-patient clinic with chronic shoulder pain between May and July 2024. Patients will be randomly divided into two groups: a mesotherapy group and steroid injection group, using the closed-envelope method. In the first group, a total of 3 sessions of mesotherapy are applied to the shoulder areas of the patients, 7 days apart.
