Filter by:This study was done to investigate whether platelet rich plasma(PRP) injections are effective in the management of adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder(AC).Patients were randomized to 2 groups, and one group took PRP injections for 3 times every two weeks, while the other group took saline injections in same frequency and volume. A standardized exercise programme was also applied to all patients. Patients were then evaluated with Shoulder Pain and Disability Index(SPADI), Visual analogous scales for pain and disability, Ranges of Movements and use of analgesics in before, after and 3rd month of the therapy.
This study was to investigate the reliability and validity of the smartphone goniometer app to measure shoulder ROM in a modified position for patients with frozen shoulder, and compare the intervention effect and adherence to home exercise between the smartphone and traditional paper hangouts.
This study evaluates the addition of dry needling to exercise as part of physical therapy for the treatment of shoulder adhesive capsulitis. There will be two groups. One will receive actual dry needling to the clinically determined shoulder / parascapular trigger points. The other group will receive a sham needle treatment to the clinically determined areas.
Adhesive capsulitis, also known as frozen shoulder (FS), is a condition characterized by the functional restriction of both active and passive shoulder motion with unremarkable glenohumeral joint radiographs findings. Shoulder pain almost exists during the whole course of frozen shoulder. Pain induces muscle spasm and causes pain-spasm-pain cycle resulting in limited range of motion, changed muscle recruitment pattern and finally influences neuromuscular control. Commonly used conservative interventions for FS patients include joint mobilization, corticosteroid injection, exercise, modality and soft tissue mobilization. Despite joint mobilization is the most commonly used manual therapy in patients with FS, the evidence level is weak and the efficacy is not superior to other conservative treatments. Soft tissue mobilization is widely used in lots of musculoskeletal conditions. The effects of soft tissue mobilization include breaking the adhesion tissue and improving range of motion, muscle strength and motor control. However, few studies have investigated the effect of soft tissue mobilization in patients with frozen shoulder. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate and compare the effect of soft tissue biased manual therapy and conventional physical therapy in patients with primary FS.
This study is to test a new treatment method, arterial embolization of the shoulder (AES), to reduce the severity of pain and improve range of motion (ROM), and to see if it can be performed safely.
The investigators aim to compare the effect of ultrasound-guided suprascapular nerve block and intra-articular corticosteroid injection for frozen shoulder in pain control, improvement of range of motion, quality of life, and function.
We will recruit a total of 40 patients from the Vanderbilt Sports Medicine Clinics who have been diagnosed with adhesive capsulitis and have not undergone any previous treatment. The 40 patients will be randomized, with 20 in the control group of 3 intra-articular injections of 40mg Methylprednisolone spaced every two weeks, and 20 in the experimental group of 3 intra-articular injection of 50mg doxycycline spaced every two weeks. Both groups will begin a standardized physical therapy program within a pain-free range of motion 4 weeks after the initiation of treatment. We will prospectively follow patients for one year, with follow-up at 6 weeks, 12 weeks, 6 months, and 12 months after the initiation of treatment. Outcomes will be measured using the American Shoulder and Elbow Score (ASES) and objective measurements of shoulder range of motion, which will be collected by the treating physician. Both the patients and physicians participating in the study will be blinded.
To compare the Oxford shoulder score at 6 months post intervention for primary frozen shoulder randomised to either an arthroscopic capsular release or hydro-dilatation
this study to detect the effect of pulsed radiofrequency to the suprascapular nerve in treating chronic pain and to evaluate range of motion of shoulder joint after the intervention
The aim of this study is to compare the effectiveness of a CNS-directed treatment program versus a standard medical and physiotherapy care program on outcomes in participants with FS.Participants will be randomized to receive either a 10 weeks CNS-focused treatment program or standard medical and physiotherapy care.To evaluate the results of the interventions, the subjects will be assessed at the beginning, at the end of the treatment program (week 10) and at 3 and 6 months of follow-up.
