Frozen shoulder (FS) literature review reveals unknown causes and limited understanding of its pathogenesis. More controlled studies on treatment programs are urgently needed to advance patient care.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Rheumatology
  • Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation

Background:

  • Frozen shoulder (FS), also known as adhesive capsulitis, is a common condition characterized by shoulder stiffness and pain.
  • The exact causes and underlying pathological mechanisms of frozen shoulder remain poorly understood in current medical literature.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the existing body of scientific literature concerning frozen shoulder (FS).
  • To identify gaps in knowledge regarding the etiology and pathogenesis of FS.
  • To assess the current state of evidence for FS treatment programs.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive literature search was conducted using major biomedical databases.
  • Studies focusing on the etiology, pathogenesis, and treatment of frozen shoulder were selected and analyzed.

Related Experiment Videos

  • The quality and completeness of controlled studies on treatment interventions were critically evaluated.

    • Main Results:

    • The review highlights a significant lack of clarity regarding the etiology of frozen shoulder.
    • Current understanding of the pathogenesis of FS is limited, with many proposed theories lacking robust evidence.
    • Existing studies on treatment programs are few, often lack rigorous controlled conditions, and are considered incomplete.

    Conclusions:

    • There is a critical need for further high-quality research into the causes and mechanisms of frozen shoulder.
    • Additional well-designed, controlled studies are essential to establish effective treatment protocols for patients with FS.
    • Advancing the understanding and treatment of frozen shoulder requires urgent and focused scientific investigation.
