ADHESIVE CAPSULITIS

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 reha…

This study looked at 55 adults with severe frozen shoulder (pain and stiffness for at least 3 months) to find out which factors predict a better response to a treatment called arthrographic distension combined with intensive physiotherapy. The goal was to see if MRI scans and cli…

This study tested whether breathing a mix of oxygen and nitrous oxide (laughing gas) during physical therapy helps people with frozen shoulder move better and feel less pain. 75 adults with frozen shoulder took part. The goal was to see if the gas improves shoulder function and r…

This study tested two hands-on treatments for frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) in 66 adults aged 40-65. One group got quick thrusts to the joint, the other got a gentle muscle relaxation technique. Both reduced pain and improved shoulder motion over four weeks, but the muscl…

This study tested whether injecting hyaluronic acid into the shoulder joint can help people with frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis). 46 patients received weekly injections for 3 weeks. Researchers measured pain, disability, and range of motion over 26 weeks to see if the treat…

This study looked at whether a type of physical therapy called gong mobilization, with or without a back adjustment, can reduce pain and improve movement in people with frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis). 36 adults aged 40-60 with stage 2 frozen shoulder took part. The goal wa…

This study tested a new injection treatment (PIT) against standard electrical stimulation (TENS) for people with shoulder pain. 32 adults with ongoing shoulder pain received two sessions of either treatment plus exercise. The goal was to see which approach better reduces pain and…

This study compared digital physical therapy (using an app or online guidance) with standard in-person therapy for people with frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis). Forty adults aged 35-55 took part. The goal was to see which approach better reduces pain, improves movement, and …

This study tested whether a special tissue graft (ActiveMatrix) works better than the usual steroid injection for frozen shoulder. About 56 adults with shoulder stiffness and pain took part. Researchers measured changes in pain and daily function over 6 months to see which treatm…

This study tested whether virtual reality (VR) exercises could help people with frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) as well as or better than standard physical therapy. 90 adults aged 18-65 with frozen shoulder took part. Researchers measured pain, shoulder movement, and daily …

This study compared shoulder muscle strength and endurance between 60 adults with frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) and healthy volunteers. Researchers used a special machine to measure peak torque and fatigue index of shoulder muscles. The goal was to understand how frozen s…
