Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Musculoskeletal Medicine

Background:

  • Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis) is a prevalent condition causing significant shoulder pain and functional limitation.
  • While many patients experience gradual recovery over 12-24 months, a subset faces prolonged immobility and disability.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current understanding of frozen shoulder treatment efficacy.
  • To address the conflicting results observed in clinical trials for various therapeutic interventions.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of clinical trials investigating treatments for frozen shoulder.
  • Analysis of studies on physiotherapy, corticosteroid injections, and manipulation.

Main Results:

  • Clinical trial outcomes for frozen shoulder treatments are inconsistent.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Evidence supporting the effectiveness of physiotherapy, injections, and manipulation varies across studies.

    • Conclusions:

    • Further research is needed to clarify optimal treatment strategies for frozen shoulder.
    • Standardized protocols and high-quality trials are essential to resolve conflicting evidence regarding frozen shoulder interventions.
