Clinical Trial Summary

Adhesive capsulitis is a condition characterized by progressive declination range of motion at the glenohumeral joint due to tightness of capsule. The joint capsule and its surrounding connective tissue becomes stiffed, inflamed and shortened which in return causes decrease in range of motion that progress to chronic pain and stiffness. Adhesive capsulitis is a self-limiting disorder that resolves within 1-3 years.


Clinical Trial Description

Idiopathic (primary) adhesive capsulitis occurs spontaneously without a specific precipitating event. Primary adhesive capsulitis results from a chronic inflammatory response with fibro elastic proliferation, which may actually be an abnormal response from the immune system. Secondary adhesive capsulitis occurs after a shoulder injury or surgery or may be associated with another condition such as diabetes, rotator cuff injury, cerebrovascular accident or cardiovascular disease, which may prolong recovery and limit outcomes The prevalence of adhesive capsulitis is estimated at 2% to 5% of the general population. Frozen shoulder mainly affects individuals of 40-65 years of age with a female predominance. Adhesive Capsulitis follows a capsular pattern where external rotation is greatly restricted followed by abduction and internal rotation. Adhesive capsulitis is classically characterized by three stages. The length of each stage is variable, but typically the first stage (freezing) lasts for 3 to 6 months, the second stage (frozen) from 3 to 18 months and the final stage (thawing) from 3 to 6 months Currently various techniques are used, such as the application of moist heat, strengthening exercises, stretching and manual exercises for the treatment of Adhesive Capsulitis .Manual therapy techniques such as high and low grade glenohumeral mobilizations ,Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation techniques, Muscle energy Techniques, Mobilization with movement, and Sleeper stretch all have been proved effective for the treatment of adhesive capsulitis through different researches. Conservative treatment includes various exercises method and physical therapy modalities such as a heat therapy, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), Ultrasound (US), Acupuncture and (Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) LASER ;
