Different therapeutic options have been proposed, but the ultrasound-guided percutaneous irrigation (US-PICT) is been proved as an effective and safe first-line treatment. It can be performed with a single- of a double-needle tecnique, using warm saline solution to improve the dissolution of the calcific deposit. The procedure is ended with an intrabursal injection of local anaesthetics and slow-release steroids to improve the pain relief and to prevent complications. US-PICT leads to significative improvement in the shoulder funtion and pain relief in the short and long term, with a low complications rate.</p>}, number={5-S}, journal={Acta Biomedica Atenei Parmensis}, author={Pagnini, Francesco and D’Amuri, Fabiano Vito and Bevilacqua, Andrea and Sabatino, Vittorio and Russo, Umberto and Zappia, Marcello and Natella, Raffaele and Palumbo, Pierpaolo and Pradella, Silvia and Miele, Vittorio and De Filippo, Massimo}, year={2019}, month={Apr.}, pages={95–100} }
