Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: Evaluation of clinically significant difference (according to the scale of Constant) for a single injection of cortisone intrabursale post-TPE;;Secondary Objective: A) evaluate the sonographic appearance with clinical improvement; B) assess the prevalence and duration of inhibition of the HPA axis resulting in intrabursale single injection of cortisone (triamcinolone acetonide or methylprednisolone); C) to correlate the plasma levels of corticosteroid (triamcinolone acetonide or methylprednisolone) with indices of adrenal function.;Primary end point(s): Evaluation of clinically significant difference (according to the scale of Constant) for a single injection of cortisone intrabursale post-TPE;;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Day 30 post treatment TPE | — |
