FROZEN SHOULDER

This study tests whether adding a mild nerve stimulation (tVNS) to standard exercise helps adults with frozen shoulder feel less pain and move better. Forty people aged 40-65 will receive either real or fake stimulation plus exercise for 6 weeks. Researchers will measure pain, sh…

This study compares two types of nerve blocks to ease pain and improve movement in people with frozen shoulder. Fifty adults with shoulder stiffness for over six weeks will be randomly assigned to receive either a shoulder anterior capsular block (SHAC) or a suprascapular nerve b…

This study tests whether a simple shot in the buttock works as well as an ultrasound-guided shot into the shoulder joint for treating frozen shoulder. About 528 adults aged 18 to 65 with frozen shoulder will receive one injection and be followed for 12 weeks. The goal is to see w…

This study looks at two standard treatments for frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) in adults 18 and older. One group gets physical therapy plus steroid injections, the other gets injections followed by watchful waiting. Researchers want to see if physical therapy improves outc…

This study compares three different NSAID painkillers (diclofenac, meloxicam, indomethacin) combined with home exercises for frozen shoulder. 120 adults with shoulder pain and stiffness will be randomly assigned to one of the drugs. The goal is to see which drug works best and wh…

This study tests a procedure called transcatheter arterial embolization for people with frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) that hasn't improved with standard treatments like physical therapy or medication. The procedure uses tiny beads called 'Nexsphere-F' to block certain blo…

This study looks at whether adding extracorporeal shock wave therapy to standard treatments (physical therapy and steroid injections) helps people with frozen shoulder. Frozen shoulder causes pain and stiffness, and recovery can take months or years. The trial will enroll 94 adul…

This study looks at whether adding ultrasound-guided shoulder injections to a home exercise program can improve pain, movement, and daily function in people with chronic frozen shoulder. About 68 adults with shoulder pain lasting at least 3 months will receive either one type of …

This study explores whether high-intensity interval training (HIIT) is a practical and acceptable option for people with long-term shoulder pain. Researchers will enroll 30 participants—15 with shoulder pain and 15 without—to measure inflammation, blood sugar, and nerve function.…

This study looks at whether a specific type of frozen shoulder surgery (360° capsular release) affects nearby nerves. Researchers will use electrical tests (EMG and nerve studies) to measure nerve function before and 12 weeks after surgery in 15 adults. The goal is to provide evi…
