Interventions

control group:Single rotator cuff injection: 40mg of triamcinolone acetonide+10ml of 0.4% ropivacaine mixture, administered under ultrasound guidance into the rotator cuff.
Observers:Combination of rotator cuff injection and suprascapular nerve block: 5ml of a mixture of 20mg of triamcinolone acetonide and 0.4% ropivacaine, followed by ultrasound-guided suprascapular ner
A mixture of 40mg of triamcinolone acetonide and 10ml of 0.4% ropivacaine was injected into the rotator cuff space under ultrasound guidance.
