Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare ultrasound guided capsular corticosteroid injection
into the rotator interval/anterior capsule and the GH joint with ultrasound guided

injections.
Primary outcome measure: pain reduction at week 6 Secondary outcome measures: improvement of
function (SPADI, Life quality, ROM).

The investigators want to find out if the clinical effect of the combined capsular and
intra-articular injections are better than placebo and better that intra-articular injections
