Frozen shoulder showdown: which treatment wins?
NCT ID NCT07409779
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two common treatments for frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis): a procedure that stretches the shoulder joint capsule (capsular distension) and a steroid injection. Both are followed by a rehab program. The trial will measure pain, movement, and disability in 50 adults aged 18-80 to see which approach works better.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Betamethasone (Diprostene®) injection and capsular distension procedure
What this could lead to
If this trial succeeds, it could show which treatment—capsular distension or steroid injection—works better for frozen shoulder, helping doctors choose the best option.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 50 people, so results may not apply to everyone. Both treatments have risks like infection or temporary pain, and one may not be clearly better.
