Clinical Trial Summary

The present study aims to compare the efficacy of assisted rehabilitation treatment, in terms of improvement of pain and shoulder articulation, in patients with stage 2 adhesive capsulitis compared with unassisted home rehabilitation treatment. This evaluation is performed following the glenohumeral capsular hydrodistension procedure performed under ultrasound monitoring.

Intervention

Other:
Hospital-assisted Rehabilitation
Patients are assisted by a physical therapist to perform commuting exercises and active and passive mobilization of the glenohumeral joint in anterior elevation, external rotation, internal rotation, retroposition and abduction.
Home-based Rehabilitation
Patients were educated by a physical therapist to perform commuting exercises and active and passive mobilization of the glenohumeral joint in anterior elevation, external rotation, internal rotation, retroposition, and abduction, which they perform at home independently.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) It consists of a self-administered questionnaire with values from 0 to 130 (0 non-painful and granted shoulder activity, 130 painful and non-granted shoulder activity) consisting of two dimensions, one for pain and the other for functional activities. The pain dimension consists of five questions about the severity of the patient's pain. Functional activities are assessed with eight questions designed to measure the degree of difficulty the patient has with various activities of daily living that require the use of the upper extremities.
