Summary

This study compares two ultrasound-guided injection treatments for adhesive capsulitis, also known as frozen shoulder. One group receives a steroid and numbing medicine injected directly into the shoulder joint, while the other group gets the same medicine injected near the suprascapular nerve. Researchers measure pain, shoulder function, and range of motion before treatment, at ten days, and at three months. The goal is to see which method provides better and longer-lasting relief.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
triamcinolone acetonide and lidocaine
What this could lead to
If one method proves clearly better, it could become the preferred injection technique for frozen shoulder, offering faster pain relief and improved movement.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center trial with 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Both injections carry risks like infection or nerve damage, and long-term benefits are not yet known.
