This study evaluates the effects of corticosteroid injections over time, as well as the additional effect provided by subsequent transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) of the motor cortex on patients with rotator cuff tendinopathy of the shoulder. All patients will receive a subacromial corticosteroid injection. Two weeks later, a third will receive a treatment of tDCS, a third will receive a placebo a-tDCS treatment, and the last third will not receive any additional treatment.
