Brief Summary

This study was conducted to compare the efficacy of hydrodilatation with hyaluronic acid under ultrasonographic guidance plus physical therapy (PT) with that of PT alone for treating adhesive capsulitis

Conditions

Suprascapular Nerve Block

Keywords

suprascapular nerve block

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• change in constant shoulder score

  the total constant score ranges from 0 to 100 points, with higher scores indicative of better function. The score is divided into four sections: pain, activity of daily living, ROM and strength

  at 4, 12 wk

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• change in pain intensity

  at 4, 12 wk

• change in Shoulder Pain And disability index

  at 6, 12 wk

• change in glenohumeral joint range of motion

  at 4, 12 wk
