Filter by:The purpose of this prospective study is to see the natural course of adhesive capsulitis of hip. The study is based on the hypothesis that the natural course of adhesive capsulitis of hip is similar to that of adhesive capsulitis of shoulder. This study is also based on a hypothesis that hip joint capsule stretching exercise will result in pain relief, recovery of hip range of motion in months.
The adhesive capsulitis is a disease of the shoulder characterized by pain and limitation of movement amplitude. It is defined as for etiology, having discordant theories that related it to an inflammatory condition or to an algoneurodystrophy process. There is not yet a consensus about the best option of treatment. The non-steroidal anti-inflammatories have analgesic and anti-inflammatory activity, where the mechanism of action is the inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis. The antidepressants have been increasingly used in the control of chronic pain and the major action mechanism to have the analgesic effect seems to be based on inhibition of neurotransmitters reuptake noradrenaline and/or serotonin) in nerve cell endings. Literature studies associate the practice of the nerve suprascapular blockade with anaesthetics to good results of clinical improvement of the pain, however, so far, no clinical studies comparing the efficacy of the non-steroidal antiinflammatories or tricyclic antidepressants to nervous blockage were registered in the acute treatment of adhesive capsulitis.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of intra-articular steroid injection, sodium hyaluronate injection, a combination of the two, and placebo in the treatment of adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether or not the use of an equimolar mixture of oxygen and nitrous oxide during the physical therapy for patients suffering from frozen shoulder (adhesive shoulder capsulitis) results in a gain in shoulder amplitude (Constant Score) and less pain as compared to patients undergoing physical therapy without this treatment.
The purpose of the study is to compare two different treatment regimens for primary frozen shoulder: Arthroscopic capsulotomy and arthrographic distention with steroid.
The purpose of the study is to compare the efficacy of intra-articular hydraulic distension (IHD) for the treatment of painful stiff shoulders between capsule-rupturing and capsule-preserving IHDs.
Research study to determine if putting local anesthetic through a tiny tube next to the nerves that go to the shoulder will improve shoulder range-of-motion following the shoulder procedure performed on the frozen shoulder. It will also help determine if patients have a higher quality-of-life and less pain, require fewer pain pills, experience fewer sleep disturbances, and are more satisfied with their post-procedure pain control.
The purpose of this study is to compare two treatments for adhesive capsulitis.
The purpose of this study is to compare ultrasound guided capsular corticosteroid injection into the rotator interval/anterior capsule and the GH joint with ultrasound guided corticosteroid injection into the GH joint only. Both methods will be compared with placebo injections. Primary outcome measure: pain reduction at week 6 Secondary outcome measures: improvement of function (SPADI, Life quality, ROM). 0-hypothesis: no difference between the methods. The investigators want to find out if the clinical effect of the combined capsular and intra-articular injections are better than placebo and better that intra-articular injections
We are trying to see if ultrasound is a good tool for looking at the changes that happen on the inside of the shoulder due frozen shoulder.
