Effects of ultrasound-guided platelet-rich plasma combined with sodium hyaluronate on shoulder function recovery, pain degree and mental health of patients with rotator cuff injury.

Rotator cuff injury is a common condition that affects the shoulder and is characterized by damage to the tendons and muscles in the shoulder area. This type of injury can lead to decreased shoulder function, pain, and decreased quality of life for those affected. As such, finding effective treatments for rotator cuff injury is important for improving patient outcomes and reducing the impact of this condition on patients and society. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of SH (Sodium Hyaluronate) and PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) in treating rotator cuff injuries in the shoulder. Patients who were diagnosed with Rotator Cuff Injury (RCI) and received treatment at the hospital were selected as the study subjects and divided into four groups. Various treatments were given to patients in each group. Two-way ANOVA and Mann-Whitney tests were used to analyze the results. The study found that patients who received ultrasound-guided platelet-rich plasma combined with sodium hyaluronate had significantly higher shoulder function recovery rates and better quality of life compared to the other groups. They also reported significantly lower pain scores compared to the other groups. The results suggest that ultrasound-guided platelet-rich plasma combined with sodium hyaluronate can effectively improve the shoulder function of patients with rotator cuff injury, reducing pain and improving their overall well-being. This has implications for improving patient outcomes and reducing the impact of rotator cuff injury on patients and society by providing a promising treatment option for this common condition.
