About this trial
A randomized clinical trial aimed at comparing the functional outcomes of brachial biceps infiltration guided by anatomical landmarks versus ultrasound guidance. Given that ultrasound guidance has shown an efficacy of 91%, this intervention could potentially be more effective in delivering medication to the target area and achieving improved therapeutic outcomes
