Pain relief with or without stomach protection for shoulder calcific tendinitis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding famotidine (a stomach-protecting medicine) to standard pain relievers (paracetamol and ibuprofen) helps people with calcific tendinitis of the shoulder. It aims to see if the combination is safer and just as effective for pain.
