Upon analysis, utilization of barbotage as a treatment for calcific tendonitis of the shoulder appears to produce notable pain reduction in the short term (specifically at the 2-month follow-up), but begins to lose some efficacy over long-term evaluation. Additionally, a large portion of patients required further interventions of their shoulder, including corticosteroid injections, more barbotage, or surgery, raising further concerns over its long-term benefit.
