The main purpose of this study is to compare treatment efficacy of different concentration dextrose injection in chronic subacromial bursitis .
Rotator cuff disorder with bursitis is one of the most frequent pathologies of the shoulder, which may cause serious restriction of daily activities and reduce quality of life. There are many ways in treating rotator cuff disorder with bursitis, including medication, physical therapy, kinesiological taping, acupuncture and local injection. Protholotherapy, which inject hyperosmolar dextrose to soft tissue, is a novel management in musculoskeletal disorders. However, only few trials exist in studying hyperosmolar dextrose injection for rotator cuff disorder with bursitis and most of them have small sample size and not randomized. The aim of this study was to figure out the effects of sonographically guided subacromial bursa injection with hyperosmolar dextrose in rotator cuff disorder with bursitis by a randomized controlled trial.

Change from Baseline pain on activity at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months after 3rd section of therapy
maximal visual analog scale (VAS) in the past week during shoulder activity. Visual analog scale is range from 0-10. The higher score indicated more severe pain.
Time frame: before therapy sections, 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months after 3rd section of therapy
Change from Baseline shoulder joint active range of motion (PROM) at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months after 3rd section of therapy
abduction and flexion
Time frame: before therapy sections, 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months after 3rd section of therapy
Change from Baseline Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) score at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months after 3rd section of therapy
Shoulder pain and disability questionnaire with two subscales, pain scale and function scale. Pain scale is range from 0-50. The higher scale indicates worse pain outcome. Function scale is range from 0-80. The higher scale indicates poor shoulder function. The total scale is summation of pain scale and function scale.
Time frame: before therapy sections, 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months after 3rd section of therapy
Change from Baseline Ultrasound property at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months after 3rd section of therapy
Thickness of bursa and elastogram
Time frame: before therapy sections, 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months after 3rd section of therapy
Change from Baseline pain on resting at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months after 3rd section of therapy
maximal visual analog scale (VAS) in the past week during resting. Visual analog scale is range from 0-10. The higher score indicated more severe pain.
Time frame: before therapy sections, 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months after 3rd section of therapy
