“…Also, other researchers demonstrated that in patients with rotator cuff tears, intra-articular injections of HA provide immediate clinical improvement compared with ESWT. 33 The aim of this clinical trial is to compare the outcomes of local administration of HA with CS injections for patients with chronic plantar fasciopathy.…”

“…Researchers compared the clinical effects of LMW-HA injection with low-energy extracorporeal shock-wave therapy for the management of rotator cuff tendinopathy. 34 A total of 34 participants were randomly assigned to 2 groups of 17 individuals. The LMW-HA group received 3 injections (20 mg Hyalgan, 500-730 kDa), and the shock-wave group underwent 4 sessions of the therapy.…”

“…Recently, some clinical trials highlighted the beneficial effect of HA on tendon viscoelasticity [66]. The superiority of HA injections over other conservative treatments has been reported [67]. Several studies investigated the link between the inhibition of fibroblastic proliferation induced by HA, the stabilisation of type II collagen, and the reduction in type III collagen concentration in the tendon [68,69].…”

“…This study confirmed Merolla et al's findings, showing that one low molecular weight HA injection a week for three weeks produced clinical relief at the end of the treatment and for up to 3 months. No significant difference was found between the HA injections and extracorporeal shockwave therapy in terms of safety and efficacy [67]. Comparing physical therapy alone or combined with HA injections in the management of supraspinatus tendinopathy, Flores et al found that patients treated with physical therapy and HA returned significantly earlier to work and needed fewer rehabilitation sessions [90].…”
