From the registry
Rotator cuff tendinopathy is a common cause of shoulder pain and functional impairment. Exercise-based physiotherapy represents a cornerstone of conservative treatment, while nutraceutical supplementation has been proposed as a potential adjunctive strategy. This prospective, randomized, assessor-blinded study evaluated the effects of adding a nutraceutical formulation containing bioactive collagen peptides, astaxanthin, trans-resveratrol, and vitamin C (Doltendix®) to physiotherapy in patients with rotator cuff tendinopathy without partial- or full-thickness tendon tears. Forty-two participants were randomly allocated in a 1:1 ratio to physiotherapy plus nutraceutical supplementation or physiotherapy alone. Pain, shoulder function, upper-limb disability, and health-related quality of life were assessed over a 120-day follow-up period
