Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Pre-intervention and at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year after intervention: - Constant Shoulder Score (CS). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Pre-intervention, and at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months and 1 year after treatment: - VAS-scores for pain during motion, pain at rest and shoulder function. - DASH-score - RAND-36. - Western Ontario Rotator Cuff index Pre-intervention: - Demographic data (duration of symptoms, gender, age, BMI, sports/employment). - Calcific depositions and location of these depositions on radiographs of the shoulder: Gärtner-classification. Immediately after intervention: - VAS-scores for pain during motion, pain at rest and shoulder function. - Barbotage Score form: signs of bursitis, other shoulder injuries (impingement, acromioclavicular osteoarthritis, rotator cuff ruptures), substantion of the calcific depositions (hard, pulver, viscous), aspiration (yes/no), perforation (yes/no), location of calcific depostions. Immediately after intervention, 6 weeks, and 1 year after intervention - Presence of calcific depositions on standard radiographs (anteroposterior): Gärtner score. | — |
