Chronic subacromial bursitis (SAB) is a common shoulder disorder characterized by chronic shoulder pain with a painful arc of motion, and/or pain on active or passive motions. The diagnosis of SAB requires confirmation by an infiltration with local anesthetic. Previous study showed that corticosteroid injection is more effective than hyaluronic acid in treatment of chronic SAB, however, some (about 20%) patients were not responsive to corticosteroid injection, and some responsive patients may have recurrence of symptoms. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether combination of corticosteroids SASD injections and physiotherapy is more effective than either treatment alone in chronic SAB.
