Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to identify clinical and MRI factors associated to a better response to arthrographic distension in patients with severe capsulitis.

Description:

Patients presenting to the physical medicine and rehabilitation department [tertiary care] of Cochin Hospital for severe adhesive capsulitis for whom first-line medical treatment is not effective. The first-line treatment including analgesic, NSAIDs and / or intra-articular infiltration of a corticosteroid derivative and multi-weekly physiotherapy

These patients are integrated into a usual protocol (routine care) consisting of performing an MRI with intravenous injection of gadolinium to confirm the diagnostic and eliminated others causes of shoulder stiffness. IV gadolinium-enhanced MRI can increase the performance of the signal analysis changes of the Synovium and capsule in the Axillary Recess and Rotator interval as compared with unenhanced measures The treatment consists in one to three arthrographic distensions by physiological serum, xylocaine 1% and injection of an ampoule of corticosteroids (DIPROSTENE) associated with intensive (immediate mobilization, recovery of maximum amplitudes by the physiotherapist and on arthro-motor). The primary objective of arthrographic distension is the expansion and rupture of the glenohumeral capsule in the subscapularis recess. It consists after local anesthesia, in an injection under pressure of air or liquid - opacifier or physiological serum - in the glenohumeral joint associated with an infiltration of cortisone derivatives at the end of the operation. Physical treatment aimed at rapid amplitude gain is started immediately after the arthrographic distension, under the effect of local anesthesia. It is at best continued daily at a rate of 2 to 8 hours per day for one to 2 weeks. Depending on the effect obtained on pain and the daily progression of rehabilitation, arthro-distension may be repeated once or twice during the mobilization period.

Intervention

Other:
• Arthrographic distension
The treatment consists in one to three shoulder joint capsule arthrographic distension. It consists after local anesthesia, in an injection under pressure of xylocaine 1% and physiological serum in the glenohumeral joint associated with an ampoule of corticosteroids (Betamethasone or Triamcinolone hexacetonide ) at the end of the operation. first arthrographic distension is performed under scopic guidance second and/or third arthrographic distension are performed under ultrasound guidance
• Immediate joint mobilization
This procedure was associated with intensive (immediate mobilization, recovery of maximum amplitudes by the physiotherapist and on arthro-motor). Physical treatment aimed at rapid amplitude gain and is started immediately after the arthrographic distension, under the effect of local anesthesia. It is at best continued daily at a rate of 2 to 8 hours per day for one to 2 weeks. Depending on the effect obtained on pain and the daily progression of rehabilitation, arthrographic distension may be repeated once or twice during the mobilization period.

Primary	Physical Impairment: numeric verbal scale of pain	self-evaluated numeric verbal scale of pain, ranging from 0 to 10 (lesser is better)	1 month
Secondary	Physical Impairment: numeric verbal scale of night pain	self-evaluated numeric verbal scale of night pain ranging from 0 to 10 (lesser is better)	1 month
Secondary	Physical Impairment: numeric verbal scale of maximum pain	self-evaluated numeric verbal scale of maximum pain ranging from 0 to 10 (lesser is better)	1 month
Secondary	Disability : numeric verbal scale of disability	self-evaluated numeric verbal scale of disability ranging from 0 to 10 (lesser is better)	1 month
Secondary	Physical Impairment : mobility of shoulder joints	mobility and rotation	1 month
Secondary	Psychological Impairment : Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS)	Questionnaire possible presence of anxiety and depressive states It contains two 7-item scales: one for anxiety and one for depression both with a score range of 0-21.	1 month
Secondary	Fear-Avoidance Beliefs Questionnaire (FABQ)	Patient reported questionnaire which specifically focuses on how a patient's fear avoidance beliefs about physical activity and work.; The questionnaire consists of 16 items in which a patient rates their agreement with each statement on a 7-point Likert scale. Where 0= completely disagree, 6=completely agree. There is a maximum score of 96. A higher score indicates more strongly held fear avoidance beliefs There are two subscales; the work subscale (FABQw) with 7 questions (maximum score of 42) and the physical activity subscale (FABQpa) with 4 questions (maximum score of 24).	1 month
Secondary	Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI)	self-administered questionnaire that consists of two dimensions, one for pain and the other for functional activities. Total score ranging from 0 (best) to 100 (worst).	1 month
Secondary	Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (DASH)	Self-administered questionnaire assessing quality of life of the upper limb. It assesses the ability to perform 23 activities, the severity of symptoms 30-item self-reported questionnaire in which the response options are presented as 5-point Likert scales.; Scores range from 0 (no disability) to 100 (most severe disability). In addition there are two optional modules of four questions each, sporting or instrumental and employment activity.	1 months
