NCT ID NCT07380087

First seen Feb 02, 2026 · Last updated May 07, 2026 · Updated 15 times

Summary

This study tests whether giving a nerve block (a numbing injection) before a standard frozen shoulder treatment called hydrodistension can reduce pain during the procedure and improve recovery. About 50 adults with frozen shoulder will be randomly assigned to receive either hydrodistension alone or a nerve block followed by hydrodistension. Researchers will measure pain, shoulder movement, and quality of life over 3 months to see if the nerve block makes the treatment more comfortable and effective.
