First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether adding ultrasound-guided hyaluronic acid injections to a standard rehab program helps people with frozen shoulder. Sixty adults aged 40 to 70 with frozen-phase adhesive capsulitis took part. One group got three weekly injections plus six weeks of rehab; the other got rehab alone. Researchers measured pain, disability, and shoulder movement over 12 weeks to see if the combination worked better.
